Features: Endless witty metaphors and incisive aphorisms reflect the author's rare linguistic wisdom: "The underworld is a garden where ruffians stroll, while the court is the true bedroom he truly wants to covet." Especially, Zhu Dake's political criticism and mythological exegesis are highly "damaging," earning him the reputation of "a single strike to silence." Zhu Dake's critical approach and unique discourse style have posed a distinct challenge to the "angry youth criticism" since the 1990s. This book compiles most of Zhu Dake's cultural criticism articles.
