Work style
Han Song's works have distinctive features of postmodernism text, but different from the most fundamental characteristics of deconstructing ideal and meaning in postmodern literature, Han song never refuses meaning, but only deals with meaning differently from traditional literature. With the dark and hopeless Kafka style, the irrational style of nightmares, the atmosphere of nightmares, and the indifferent tone, he constructs a very unique deep and rich fictional space-time as the reflection of human historical and cultural psychology, and reflects on the dark side of the deep structure of human history and Culture -- the barbarism, cruelty, ignorance, dirt, soul tearing and death accumulated for countless years Change - a very cold display. "The best science fiction always aims at the power system that hinders the development of human nature, the evil of war, and the market and bureaucracy that alienates people Science fiction is therefore an allegorical mirror. " In this dark, terrible and disgusting text world, Han Song abandons the Utopia of politics, science and culture, criticizes and subverts the reality and tradition, and at the same time makes ironic jokes on existence: exhausted, decadent, heavy, sluggish and repressed daily life, value confusion, belief crisis, lack of meaning, no love, banishment of ideal and poetic digestion There is no pure and beautiful place, no light, full of suffocating despair -- Han Song's sharp vision of life, through the image and excellent performance to create the second reality, it is more infectious and shocking than the real reality, that is, the first reality, more real, more profound, more ironic, as Zheng Wenguang advocated ——"It will show the exaggeration and deformation of the material in life under the guidance of science and logic, and turn the real world into a virtual world. The final result can deepen the theme."

Han Song's science fiction creation originated in the university age. Han Song's early masterpiece is the cosmic tombstone, which won the "global Chinese science fiction essay" award sponsored by Taiwan's mirage magazine. Next, his novel also won a variety of Science Fiction Awards, including "science fiction world", "Galaxy Award" and so on. His works are unique and have a wide influence on readers. Many famous Chinese science fiction writers, including Zheng Wenguang, Jin Tao, Liu Cixin and Jiang Yunsheng, have said that Han song has an irreplaceable special position in Chinese science fiction. There have been articles about Han Song's achievements in science fiction, such as Newsweek in the United States, track, a science fiction review journal, and base, a British science fiction research journal.
Thinking and writing are Han Song's greatest pleasure. His writing is not limited to news reports and science fiction. For example, he has also written very unique poems, essays and other novels that cannot be classified. The declaration of imagination, published in 1999, is still the most critical theoretical work in the field of Chinese science fiction. The scene investigation of ghosts is a reportage with vivid and tortuous investigation, fascinating literature and history research and magnificent scientific fantasy. Similar reportage works include artificial man, which shows the progress of cloning technology. Behind the demonization of China, a political theory book written by the author, was all the rage, and the word "demonization" became a public vocabulary.
Like many literary masters, Han song never cares about the publication of his works, let alone his personal fame. Daily writing itself is the source of his enjoyment. It is this kind of persistence and enthusiasm that makes him surpass the paradigm of science fiction for many times. The Red Sea is the latest attempt of this literary transcendence.
On May 31, 2018, the second Jingdong literature award ceremony was held in Beijing, and Han Song's exorcism won the science fiction book award of the year.
On the afternoon of October 26, 2019, Han Song's escape from the mountain won the novel original stone award in the first Chinese science fiction film "original stone Award".
Character evaluation
I write two-dimensional science fiction, but Han Song writes three-dimensional science fiction. If we say that Chinese science fiction is a pyramid, two-dimensional science fiction is the base below, and three-dimensional science fiction is the apex.
