Features: The Lu Xun Literature Prize is a nationally prestigious literary award, second only to the Mao Dun Literature Prize, and has been held for two editions so far. Over a dozen winners of the prose category have emerged, whose works have exerted a wide influence both domestically and internationally. Therefore, compiling a series titled "Lu Xun Literature Prize Prose Winners" is not only in response to the needs of readers but also provides an important literary document for Chinese literature. This is the only national prose award winners' series published in the domestic publishing industry. This book is the latest collection of essays and sketches by Zhu Tiezhi, a renowned writer and winner of the Second Lu Xun Literature Prize. Zhu Tiezhi's works are imbued with a sense of historical responsibility and a righteous spirit, mercilessly exposing and criticizing some negative phenomena in society. Yet, he often starts with the seemingly trivial, identifies their underlying flawed ideologies, and delivers powerful critiques—either refuting them or portraying them, leaving no room for the erroneous ideas to stand and revealing their true colors. His works exhibit a unique artistic style characterized by sharp thinking, keen observation, and a touch of humor.
