Wasted City

Introduction

Jia Pingwa is an interpreter of "Dream of the Red Chamber". His artistic ambition in "Wasted City" is to achieve the realm of "Dream of the Red Chamber": infinitely real, and infinitely virtual, the more real, the more virtual, and the more virtual, the more real.

Wasted City is a network of relationships. One of the hidden achievements of Wasted City is that it allows the social structure of the broad sense and daily life to enter the contemporary Chinese novel.

Jia Pingwa revived a series of basic life scenes and basic emotional patterns in the tradition, and revived the traditional people's perspective and rhetoric of feeling the world and life. They no longer belong only to the ancients. We suddenly realized that these have always been in our hearts. The ancients are sleeping in our genes. Our nameless sorrow, joy and complaints have become famous in "Wasteland", but it turns out that they are the same in ancient and modern times. For example, joy and sorrow, noise and silence, involvement in the world and detachment, prosperity and desolation, fame and the burden of fame...

——Bravely expressed and affirmed our lives and our hearts, and bravely questioned and criticized our lives and our souls. This is "Wasteland".
