Professor Cao Wenxuan from Peking University Uses the Character "Extremely" to Evaluate Have to Be an Official]

Today, I’d like to enlist the support of a prominent figure to boost Nantai’s reputation. Professor Cao Wenxuan from Peking University is a world-renowned scholar, a doctoral supervisor, and a distinguished literary critic. One year, my novel and his literary commentary were both published in October (a prestigious Chinese literary magazine) — we never met in person, but our names “formed a connection” through this coincidence. Later, when he commented on my “humorous comedy novel” Have to Be an Official (a work I used to challenge the dominant figure in world literature, Don Quixote, back in the day), he employed powerful and weighty phrases like “unprecedented” and “extremely fresh!”

He said: “I’ve read far too many lengthy novels that are all much of a muchness. Now, after reading Have to Be an Official, I find it extremely fresh! I wonder if there are any other works with such a distinctive writing style nowadays? A long time ago, Mr. Lei Da once reminded me to pay attention to your writing, but I never had the chance to read it. This time, upon finally reading it, my feeling can be summed up in just four words: unprecedented.”
