works appreciation

In the creation of Smoke, Yu Hua made an amazing allegorical description of human helplessness to the God of Destiny. This theme has also been shown many times in Yu Hua's later works, which not only reflects the author's own changes in philosophy and outlook on life, but also fundamentally improves the level of the writer's works.

However, with his unique "zero-degree emotional narrative", Yu Hua shows people a grotesque and complicated "irrational world" (such as the numbness and perseverance of those characters whose names are symbolized in Smoke), and readers also find themselves as if they have entered a world of mental patients, and everything is so cruel, horrible and even disgusting. Yu Hua developed his feelings about the world to the extreme, and he was persistently immersed in the lonely inner experience.
