Features: I believe that among various literary forms, the most challenging to write is prose. The renowned writer Liu Zhenyun recently told me that he dares not easily venture into prose because its artistic conception is too profound. Prose must not only maintain a harmonious balance between form and spirit but is even more important to be rich in philosophical depth, like a small boat of wisdom in the vast universe. Chen Ran's prose achieves this. The prose of the famous young female writer Chen Ran is philosophical, with a delicate and subtle style, containing profound philosophical reflections on life, society, and human nature. Her novels are prose-like, and her prose is novelistic, brimming with stream-of-consciousness. She believes there are four "flying" forms in the human world: 1. Physiological instinct: Sex. 2. Psychological experience: Emotional climax. 3. Negative methods: Drugs or high-concentration alcohol. 4. Positive methods: Artistic creation. Passionate yet calm and heavy creation is the most advanced form.
