"Although the authors provide excellent articles, it is ultimately just a literary reader. Whether in terms of structure or essence, it cannot bear the expectations of many people for changing the status quo and improving society. We always say that this society needs common sense, needs enlightenment, but in fact, I think, with ten years of the internet, those who need enlightenment have already been enlightened, those who have common sense have always had common sense. We all know beauty and ugliness, good and evil, it's just that we have uncontrollable factors that cause us to distort and betray ourselves on the surface. To change, we need to rely on ourselves. It's not the old era anymore, with information being open to us to a great extent, we have already understood this world to a great extent. And a literary reader, besides being able to offer good literary works, has limited energy. If you approach a literary film with the mindset of wanting to watch a war film, no matter how good that literary film is, you will be disappointed." (Han Han on "The Soloist Club).
