Features: This collection ends with Ko Yufen's "A Writer Dies." "The Death of the Author" is, of course, a familiar topic in postmodern creative perspectives. Under the sun, there is nothing new under the sun; originality and repetition, collage, creation and performance are only a hair's breadth apart. Ko Yufen's story follows this line, naturally revealing the "lightness of life that cannot be borne." The weight of death is merely a playful suspense. The author's ironic and mocking style is amusing, and fifty years earlier, Qian Zhongshu's "Inspiration" can perfectly corroborate this.
