Features: The book is filled with clever metaphors and incisive aphorisms, showcasing the author's rare linguistic wisdom: "The underworld is a garden where ruffians stroll, while the court is the true place he longs to covet." Especially noteworthy are Zhu Dake's political critiques and mythological exegesis, which are highly "damaging" and have earned him the reputation of "severing the throat with one strike." Zhu Dake's critical approach and unique style have posed a distinct challenge to the "angry youth" criticism since the 1990s. The book compiles most of Zhu Dake's cultural critique essays.
