Han Han's novel was so poorly written, so why did so many people praise him?

I only started reading Han Han's works after I knew about his fame. When I was in my third year of high school, I read Three Doors. After reading more than twenty pages, I couldn't continue reading. He kept talking nonsense and wanted to satirize something, but no matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem to be brilliant. It wasn't until I majored in drama, film, and literature that I learned how to appreciate literary works that Han Han's novels were completely at the level of high school students in my opinion. After watching " His Kingdom," there was no sense of image to speak of. The characters were also very illusory, and the plot was abrupt. They always hid what they wanted to scold, and then floated on the surface because of their lack of literary foundation. After that, I heard that his blog post was quite good, so I went to take a look. He was so happy to complain about it that it was almost as if he couldn't see blood. But thinking about it carefully, his article was basically nonsense and had no practical use. Society was like that. Everyone knew what was wrong. He was just using things that everyone could not do anything about. In high school, I thought that no matter how bad Han Han's writing was, at least he was better at telling the truth than Guo Jingming. But now, after understanding Guo Jingming's business acumen and looking at some of Guo Jingming's works, although they were not very good, they were at least at the level of a writer. As for Han Han, I personally feel that he is a parasite born from distorted society. He can help some ignorant people find a point to vent their anger. He can become famous because of this public relations ability and the hype of the behind-the-scenes team.

Answer 1

My answer might be misunderstood. My answer is based on my understanding of Chinese literature and culture. Chinese literature and culture are very subjective, so everyone's evaluation of a book may be very different.

At the same time, I would like to point out that Han Han is a well-known figure in the Chinese literary world, and his works have a certain degree of influence among readers. However, his writing style and content were not recognized by everyone. Some people might think that there were more problems in his novels, but some people gave high praise to his works.

In short, any evaluation of his work was subjective and required a combination of many factors to be considered.
