Features: Wang Zengqi, the last Chinese scholar-official, wrote novels in the style of prose, capturing the local customs, folk culture, and daily life of his hometown. His works are rich in regional characteristics. The writing is both relaxed and profound, ordinary yet extraordinary, with a subtle charm and elegance. "What I pursue is not depth, but harmony." "I write about beauty, about healthy human nature. Beauty is always needed." "I prefer a sparse and light style, not a complex and heavy one, whether in painting or literature." "I once jokingly called myself a 'Chinese-style humanistic writer,' which is roughly accurate." "I place great importance on language, perhaps to an extreme. I believe language is not just a form; it is content itself." "We have had various traumas, but we should be joyful today." — Wang Zengqi
