Features: The author, with a unique perspective, employs close reading to uncover and explain various paradoxes, ambiguities, anomalies, and puzzling phenomena in the text—i.e., the symptoms of the work—and uses these as entry points to explore its deeper meaning. By delving into the unconscious motivations of the author, he thoroughly analyzes the vibrant core of artistic creation, reinterpreting the profound and complex significance of the work. After the author's symptom analysis and critical theory were proposed, they were hailed as "a lone star in literary criticism." The China Literary Dictionary, edited by the Institute of Literature at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, describes him in its entry as "possessing a unique perspective and innovative research methods, drawing considerable attention from academia" (1992).
