Features: The Taking of Jiao once established Jiang Zilong as a pioneer in reform-themed literature, and his recent works have demonstrated a heart-stirring beauty. As he once said, in this era, those who can stay grounded and focused will run faster than others. A writer's soul should always be on the move. He also predicted that China's profound recent reforms would serve as a powerful critique of modern society, helping culture to mature and deepen. Combined with the rich cultural soil accumulated over 30 years, China's literary scene has entered a mature era where the emergence of masters is possible. Jiang Zilong's contribution to the history of Chinese literature lies in his true creation of a myth in reform-themed literary works. To this day, the formidable image of Jiao remains vivid. A poem laments:
"Commanding and awe-inspiring, his gaze sharp,
Unyielding integrity strengthens Tianjin's heart.
Zilong crafts Jiao the elder,
A chapter of history, deep in wisdom and art."
