Features: This book is a collection of literary criticism by Jiang Ruoshui on modern literature, classical literature, and contemporary essays. The author possesses a broad perspective, skillfully navigating between East and West, modernity and tradition. It includes both pure artistic exploration and cultural political concerns; it embodies both profound academic pursuits and passionate critical sentiments. As the author aptly states, "Although I enjoy the heartless teasing of Oscar Wilde and Wilde about public opinion, the endless tenderness of Zhou Qingzhen with words, and a literature of pure art and hedonism, but in our age of somber thought, society, politics, ideology, etc., are always beyond our sight. In the world of Wang Xifeng, the ghost of Bortoli always floats."
