"'The Golden Age' is Wang Xiaobo's famous work, and it is also a masterpiece that has been rewritten dozens of times and has been carved for 20 years. It includes three chapters of 'Golden Age', 'Thirty and Standing' and 'Homecoming', unfolding the protagonist 'Wang Er' 3 different stages of life: when I was young, I was full of pride, and I fled and confronted the absurd era with disdain; when I was in my thirties, I tried to integrate into the torrent of the times and tried my best to play the role of a good husband, a good teacher, and a good citizen; In front of him, Mr. He, who died suddenly, Mr. Li, who was out of luck, and his girlfriend who was married to another woman... The other side realized that everything a person has is just a passing year. In the author's view, 'Wang Er' is just a symbol, and the stories connected by it have a common theme, which is our life. That's how we live and exist, that there is no story more precious and worth writing than this." --machine translation of Chinese description
