Features: "The Cultural Ills—A Study of Contemporary Chinese Economy" is undoubtedly a good start. The author Zhang Ning's critical rationality is unrelated to the self-restrained academic tradition. He comes from the frontline of mass culture criticism and is a meticulous observer like a "shoemaker," with extensive on-site experience, a deep understanding of cultural trends and market operations, and a strong advantage in information resources. Chapter "The Origin of Literary Commodification" is a rare masterpiece, where his profound interpretation of farmers, farmers' markets, and farmers' market interests completely relies on his decades of personal experience. Zhang Ning is an example of someone who moves from the countryside to the city. His personal experience and life knowledge have been successfully integrated into his writing, giving it a sharp and precise microscopic charm. All of this is unattainable for repressed academic scholarship and ethos.
