Features: Beautiful fairy tales have vanished, and modern life has become vulgar and despicable. White-collar youth are nothing more than high-level workers. They are surrounded by bustling, complex cities, enjoying the comforts provided by modern technology. They put on pretenses as they go downstairs and go out, using every means to please their superiors or even subordinates. It's not suffering but a lack of suffering, with their words conveying a monotonous and dull tone similar to official documents. They hate others in their hearts but indulge in debauchery and alcohol, lost in the meaning of values and life. Whether they like it or not, this is a reality. The author's greatest skill lies in questioning this predetermined rationality, tearing off all the beautiful facades to reveal its and ignorant nature. As for the rebellious behavior of those on the fringes of society, he gives them a reasonable logic for survival, hoping that in the future, new principles can be found. His works are both populist and blasphemous, skillfully blending the two in his absurd and grim black humor, bitter yet biting.
