I started to know about Jiayang Fan from his mother's experience and some subjective comments about China. Jiayang Fan is a Chinese-American who immigrated to the United States when he was a child, and he is a columnist working for The New Yorker. As a journalist, I think he can describe an event, person and social phenomenon in China in a more objective, fair and pure way in The New Yorker. Comparatively speaking, I prefer his reports on the situation of Chinese Americans (racial discrimination). After all, he has a better say and a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the country where he is raised. Unfortunately, we see more reports about China, where he left when he was young, and one-sided reports about China that seem to rely on the unequal information with American, which are surmised from his knowledge of Chinese and obtained from his family connections in China.
Jiayang Fan has enjoyed his reputation as a writer for The New Yorker, but not as much as his predecessors Peter Hessler and Evan Osnos. However, as a Chinese American writer, I think I can use three words to comment his reports on China issues: "skimming over the surface", "esoteric writing" and "less objective".

Transmigrating into a novel one morning, Wen Jing arrived at the side of the one he worshiped and admired the most, becoming a loyal hound that was willing to go through fire and water for his senior brother. Even the most arrogant cultivator said: "There is no one in this world who can enter my eyes, but only Jun YanZhi is truly noble." Wen Jing grew up alongside his senior brother, idolizing his senior brother beyond all means. Unfortunately, he was ignorant, and as for this novel, he had only read half of it. Midway through the storyline, he finally realized that things didn't seem to be the way he thought they were. Wen Jing: "Last night, Senior brother infiltrated Master's abode. Master, please take heed." His master: "Nonsense! Your master was inside the abode all night last night, and did not see anyone else." Wen Jing: "Last night, Senior brother left on his own without permission to meet someone. Martial Uncle, please thoroughly investigate." His martial uncle: "Nonsense! Last night your senior brother and I were drinking and chatting merrily, all the way until morning." Wen Jing: "Last night, Senior brother was improper towards me......" His senior sister: "Nonsense! How can your senior brother possibly do that kind of thing? Don't tell me you've long held those kind of intentions towards him, and unable to obtain what you wanted, you're now framing him?" Many years later. Wen Jing: "There's this evil brute, specializing in using his top-notch, exquisite looks and elegant disposition to fool people, and everyone is in the midst of danger while not even aware of it themselves." Jun YanZhi: "If it wasn't for you, that evil brute would most likely still be struggling in pain and suffering."

Between being forced to kill, being beaten down by his boss, and being separated from his family for the next fifteen years, contentedness feels like something completely out of his grasp. -- When Phil Lester was born with superpowers, he knew what he was supposed to do.

He became the healer for a squad of other natural-born heroes in order to make a difference in the world, but something was missing. He's lonely.

MDZS fan fiction keeping in tune with the original plot. All Characters belong to Mo Xiang Ting Xiu. Lan Zhan has always found it difficult to express his feelings. If it weren't for his uncle Lan Qiren and his elder brother Lan Xichen, he would perhaps be derided as a retard. However Lan Zhan is gifted, a superb cultivator excelling in swordsmanship and musical cultivation. His autism has helped him stay focussed on things he can use to express himself in place of words. He has never been close to anyone outside his family and his clan, The Gusu sect of Jiangnan, never been in love and has always strived to be perfect. Rules, law, justice and etiquette meant the world to him. Everything gets thrown away when he meets a fellow cultuvator from Yunmeg. Wei Ying wasn't supposed to come to come to Gusu. He was not affiliated to any of the prominent families. His father was a servant of the Jiang clan. His mother was a rogue cultivator. The Jiang Clan Sect leader had taken him in when he was barely nine years old, both his parents dead. Since then he had shown an exceptional aptitude for cultivation becoming the head disciple of the Jiang clan, exceeding the heir Jiang Cheng and causing Madam Yu, Sect Leader Jiang's wife extreme displeasure. Wei Yang's temperament was the opposite of Lan Zhan. He made friends easily and took Madam Yu's abuse as well as Juang Cheng's jealousy in his stride. He was indebted to them for his upbringing and gave way to their unreasonable response to his excellence. What happens when Wei Ying's easy acceptance meets Lan Zhan's unwavering discipline? Will that discipline crumble and what shall it then release?
