Features: This is a work that both portrays awkward human nature and reveals and critiques the ambiguous lifestyle. The "worldliness" it depicts may give us special food for thought. Mr. Ye Lu, a renowned literary critic and professor in our country, once wrote a special article interpreting and commenting on Mr. Teng Gang's works: Looking at the world of Teng Gang's micro-fiction, it first gives a strong impression of its constant manifestation of worldliness. Worldliness is a concept that is full of ambiguities. It may not be able to resist lowbrow or even low-level interests, but it is also a concept closely tied to real life. Any person who lives a tangible life in reality cannot refuse the temptation of "food and sex are natural human instincts." And it is precisely in the concrete behavior of this "food and sex are natural human instincts" that often reveals the essence or absurdity of life. When I read Teng Gang's stories that are both "real and absurd," I cannot help but associate them with the realities of life and even find it hard to resist memories and associations of my own life. Although these things are not particularly noble, poetic, or romantic, they can help one understand what it means to "see life with open eyes" and what the thrilling essence and depth of worldly life truly are.
