Features: In the early days of the founding of New China, Mr. Wang Meng demonstrated rare talent to the world with his sincere and vibrant writing. He has never stopped his creative stride, whether in the challenging years or in the glittering years of prosperity; he has never stopped embracing new things, whether in pioneering the art of the novel or in keenly grasping the spirit of the times; even more admirable is that he has never stopped pursuing the tumultuous history and has never ceased to question the depths of human soul. For many years, he has been driven by a strong sense of mission, urging himself and others to stay alert. He has transformed the novel into a form of wisdom, once again making us feel the surging power of the literary sea with the overwhelming force of his vast and mighty language. His endless thirst for exploration and his inexhaustible creativity, along with his tireless idealistic passion, form a unique landscape in the contemporary literary world. His contributions to Chinese literature will increasingly attract global attention as time passes.
