The Era Awaits the Life Passion of the Big Soul

Article written by Li Xianting under his pseudonym 'Hu Cun'.

This article criticises the enthusiasm of the art world at the time toward the debates on 'purification of language'. Li suggests that the essense of contemporary art should not be purely formalistic, rather, it lies in the reflection of the spirit of the time, the honest pursuit of meaning, and freedom.
