Features: Zhang Wei is one of the earliest writers to discover the "folk" world. His folk is a vibrant natural world of competition and free life on the earth, and September Fable brought his folk idealism to its fullest expression. However, Zhang Wei did not regard the folk world as an earthly paradise for escaping reality. He still maintained the realistic critique stance of the intellectual elite from The Ancient Ship, creating a series of controversial middle and longs. Guidance or Romance is a modern folk narrative poem. The wandering girl Mila is alternately swept by two forces: one is the external evil forces that constantly push her toward exile and crime, and the other is her inner impulse, driving her to wander the world in search of spiritual and physical freedom—Fudan University, PhD, renowned critic Chen Si and Zhang Wei’s talent is undoubtedly admirable. The narrative is effortless, the language unrestrained and fluid, sharp and spirited, emotionally charged. Reading Zhang Wei’s novels is undoubtedly an feast of intellectual wisdom and linguistic pleasure combined. It is an desperate quest: all love, truth, goodness, and beauty now exist only in this fruitful body, this body from the rural river,, Zhang Wei repeatedly writes with love and desire—the ideal flesh body where love never fades. It is so bountiful, it is just one step away from natural humanism. The wise Zhang Wei, who makes this earth mother not give birth but write—what is she writing? It is a mystery, it is Zhang Wei’s idealist prison.
A famous critic from Peking University. In a special era, a healthy, plump, and passionate rural girl had a "not-so-good" mother. She had a colorful, legendary personality and experience: lustful, romantic, yielding to her desires yet persistently pursuing true love for two decades. She loved knowledge, stubbornly resisted violence and evil, and endured punishment again and again, fleeing until she killed a villain and became a "murderer." She deeply loved two men: one was the village teacher Lei Ding, and the other was the handsome, bronze-skinned youth Tongwa. Lei Ding was her intellectual mentor and spiritual guide. Her love for Lei Ding was more spiritual, while her love for Tongwa was genuine. It was these two men who successively drove her in two classic, unforgettable escapes. Through "escape" and "search" with Eri, she completed the shaping of her self-image and the transcendence of her self-awareness, like a goddess who battles social vices alone, stubbornly riding her own destiny. Masterwriter Zhang Wei creates, the most mature and substantial work in 30 years of creation.
