Features: Renowned documentary director Hu Zehui spent over a year with a calm lens to record the soliloquies of more than 20 artists and intellectuals, both domestically and internationally acclaimed, such as Cui Jian, Zhang Guangtian, Meng Jinghui, and Lin Bai, in a relatively free state, completing the highly acclaimed documentary Situation. Since the entire shooting process was an unrestricted grassroots activity, and both the filmmaker and the interviewees were in a state of deep trust, it sparked brilliant sparks of thought while allowing the interviewees to reveal "hard truths" or hidden reservations they usually wouldn't speak of. It is believed that this will provide readers with a comprehensive perspective on these famous figures. This book is compiled based on the documentary, with all the text reviewed by the author, making it a testament to the history of modern Chinese art.
