Features: Although I am not good at socializing, my attempts to meet and learn about his works have shocked many cultural figures, and it's not just a case of Wang Gang. For example, I went to great lengths to contact Wang Gang when his novel "Behind the Moon" was published. I read it and found it extraordinary. —Liu Xinwu (Writer)
It truly portrays the struggles of ordinary people when faced with right and wrong, and this is what makes "Behind the Moon" so compelling and hard to ignore. The work achieves such a close perspective on human souls, exposing their flaws and making every reader reflect deeply on themselves, leaving them shaken to the core. —Zhao Weimin (Book Critic)
After reading "Behind the Moon," I felt a sense of relief as if I had survived a disaster. Fortunately, I continued to pursue culture when it was not in vogue, otherwise, it would have been truly tragic. —Dai Jinhua (Professor, Peking University)
This work actually reflects the changes in social values and the reformation of classes, causing great shock. Its depth of realism lies here. —Yin Hong (Professor, Tsinghua University)
"Behind the Moon" is a work that satisfies me—it has no water in it. No matter its fate, it is my child, and it is not unattractive. —Feng Xiaogang
The film adaptation of the novel "Behind the Moon," directed by Feng Xiaogang, is one of his most heart-wrenching works and is widely regarded as one of the most (shocking) television dramas since China's reform and opening up. The male and female protagonists, Mou Ni and Li Miao, meet in a metropolis. Both educated and full of ambition, they refuse to live at the bottom and seek shortcuts to wealth to change their fate. On this path, they deceive, are deceived, struggle, and despair, willing to sacrifice their dignity, emotions, and even their bodies. In the dark of the moon's back, where sunlight never reaches, what will become of the half-real, half-fake emotions between these two vibrant lives? Under the author's clear and fluent yet profound pen, the joys and sorrows of these two ambitious small characters, their complex emotions, and the business world's dynamics, especially the inner workings of finance and real estate, leave readers on the edge of their seats.
