Features: Cai Jun's works straddle the line between pure literature and popular fiction. His texts and language possess the aesthetic value of pure literature, with elements of romanticism, mystery, and even Latin American-style magical realism. However, in terms of structure and narrative style, they also share the characteristics of popular commercial fiction—suspense, thrillers, mystery, science, and romance.
The works of "Wolf's Son" Cai Jun remind me of two people: Jin Yong and Ni Kuang.
Seeing the cactus in the desert made me almost obsessively fall in love with his writing after reading his two articles, "The Lover's Skull" and "The Martyr." These two articles were published five days apart, but I read them on the same day. I remember it very clearly; that day was June 4, 2000, at 3:15 PM. From that day on, I began to feel that I was hopelessly in love with his words. It was also from that moment that the name "Cai Jun" was deeply and indelibly carved into my mind—although I never usually remember the names of authors, this name became exceptionally beautiful, masculine, and full of mystery because of his articles.
Cai Jun is very skilled at detailed descriptions, whether it's psychological or scenic. I believe readers will share this sentiment after reading his two works, "The Lover's Skull" and "The Tale of the Love Cat."
Whether you like it or not—you will inevitably fall in love with him after reading his articles—a young, talented writer. Because he brings us an irresistible pursuit and enjoyment of beauty.
