Features: This is a work that both portrays awkward human nature and reveals and critiques ambiguous lifestyles. 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, the first strong impression it gives is the constant manifestation of worldliness. Worldliness is a concept that is full of ambiguities. It may not be able to resist lowbrow or even vulgar tastes, but it is also a concept closely tied to real life. Any person who lives a tangible life in reality cannot resist the temptation of "food and sex are innate desires." And it is precisely in these concrete behaviors of "food and sex are innate desires" that often reveal the essence or absurdity of life. While reading Teng Gang's stories that are both realistic and absurd, I couldn't help but associate with the realities of life, and even found it hard to resist reminiscing about and reflecting on my own life. Although these things are not particularly noble, poetic, or romantic, they can still help one understand what it means to "see life with open eyes" and what the thrilling essence and depth of worldly life truly are.
