Features: Passionate for love but rejecting attachment, a talented and agile woman who rivals Shi Kang. In the bars of Beijing's nights, I often feel that in every long melody, there are groups of dark sprites dancing. These sprites belong to Beijing's streets and alleys, and they are also connected to places beyond Beijing. Destined, when Beijing is illuminated like a stage by lights, the sprites descend onto the stage—Huang Wen is one of them. She often wanders in these bars, perhaps she has been wandering for a long time. Listening to her scattered and confused voice, those desires and demands, those pains and joys, those restless and bewildered monologues, those quick words about herself and her former friends, are like listening to the sound of autumn leaves being swept by the wind. Those voices rustle through time, through Beijing's dust and fog, as if trying to tell you, if you don't listen, those voices stubbornly disturb you, wanting your attention. That is the voice of hope for understanding.
