Features: His sharp analysis and questioning of life; his vigilant stance toward history and reality; his passionate and simple love for the underprivileged; his awareness of the golden light of humanity shining through suffering! Who is he? He is Yu Hua, the author of To Live and Brothers. This book discusses Yu Hua's novels from various aspects, including content, ideology, and influence, with some reviews being particularly brilliant. Through profound analysis and in-depth reading, it reflects Yu Hua's personal character from his works! In the 1980s, Yu Hua possessed the courage and sharpness to confront the world and penetrate existence, much like Dostoevsky. He, like Dostoevsky, stooped into the bottomless abyss, kept his cruel eyes open in the face of darkness, and tried to pierce through the boundless darkness to reach the hidden truth that everyone avoids. At this time, Yu Hua was like a clear and calm doctor, using his cold surgical knife to forcefully tap the seemingly flawless and elegant facade of reality until it finally exposed its deepest hidden cracks.
