[Foreword] Geng Xiao's Impression by Li Haiyang
I first learned about Geng Xiao through my good friend Kaka (a moderator of the "Mengyuan" forum). He spoke highly of Geng Xiao, saying that if he were to enter the "New Concept" writing competition, he would definitely win first prize. I asked why Geng Xiao didn't participate, and Kaka replied that Geng Xiao only respects the predecessor Wang Shuo. He said that any literary award where Wang Shuo is not a judge is meaningless—it's just a joke where capitalists sponsor a little money to entertain young literary enthusiasts. Geng Xiao refuses to participate in such events. This made me think Geng Xiao must be a very individualistic person. Later, I learned that he had also been expelled from school, which made him seem even more relatable.
A few days after Kaka introduced Geng Xiao, I met him on QQ. As soon as he saw me, he greeted with, "Hello brother! Long time no see!" His demeanor was a bit like a gang leader making a greeting. He quickly sent me a photo, where he wore sunglasses and looked very serious, indeed like a gang leader. Reminding myself that I was also in the same boat, I felt even closer to him. Then, Geng Xiao praised my novel "The Incident of Qiba Liang Hurting People" immensely. Just as I was feeling proud, he suddenly sent me his full-length novel "Love Affairs in a Flash," saying that such a heavyweight work needed a heavyweight to write the preface. It turns out this guy had been planning this all along!
Two "Love Affairs in a Flash"
I finished reading Geng Xiao's novel very quickly. He is known as the "successor of Wang Shuo," and indeed, he has the spirit of Wang Shuo's writing style. His prose is incredibly smooth, a rarity among writers born in the 1980s. I asked Geng Xiao how long it took him to write this novel, and he replied, "A month." I was amazed because when I wrote "The Incident of Qiba Liang Hurting People," it took me a long time, intermittently. There's a clear gap between us. I heard that Geng Xiao also directed a DV movie titled "Love Memoirs of," adapted from another of his novels. I asked why he didn't participate in the Beijing College Student Film Festival. His answer was even more impressive: "Those college students don't have the qualifications to judge my film. Only two people in China have the right to critique my work: Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. They are the only two directors who make money, while the rest lose money. My film, though low-budget, is profitable, so I won't participate in any film awards where they are not the judges." After hearing his words, I had only one thought: Awesome!
Three "Teasing Pure Love" is a very important style in Geng Xiao's works. In my impression, teasing is something Northerners, especially Beijingers, excel at. Geng Xiao lives in Nanjing, and his writing style should be more lyrical, similar to Su Tong's. When I asked him this question, he immediately sent me a fiery and rough-toned essay titled "I Will Single-Handedly Challenge All Gangs of Youth Literature" (Note: This essay involves certain people, so I cannot quote it here. If you want to read it, you can search for it online). After reading it, my impression of him grew even stronger: Super awesome!
Four But "pure love" made me feel Geng Xiao's sincerity and earnestness. Compared to the emotional manipulation of some young best-selling writers, I prefer Geng Xiao's genuine and sincere style. Geng Xiao explained, "In this book, he is truly pure, not fake pure. He wrote this two years ago when he was a junior and was still very innocent, believing in many beautiful things." I love Lao K in the book, his sincerity and courage, and I also admire the great classicalist selfless spirit of the female protagonist, Beauty Amei. This is the opposite of the female hoodlum A Fei in my works. Let's wish Geng Xiao the best: May you grow more handsome and may your works keep getting better! Written on the evening of May 20, 2005.
