Features: Shen Hongfei is someone who loves to play, enjoys playing, is good at playing, and is interesting. On our soil, there are many people who write, but there are few who are truly interesting. He approaches popular topics with a playful mindset, creating a light and whimsical tone in his writing. Past columnists or inheritors of traditional literary culture often appear superficially poetic and romantic, actually softly expressing a self-assured warmth; or they curse people and society, claiming to be warriors while pretending to be fake thinkers or fake revolutionaries. On one hand, Shen Hongfei completely rejects the traditional small bridges and flowing water, self-absorbed and contemplative; on the other hand, he has no interest in establishing monuments for ideas. His interest lies in endlessly exploring the game-like relationship between concepts like "thought" and "work"—because these two terms carry endless meanings and various combinations of relationships, the richness created by the Chinese characters' signifiers and referents offers infinite possibilities for both him and the readers.
