It took us seven years to prove a truth: love is nothing but a byproduct of the sexual impulse. In other words, there is no so-called love in this world, and deception and betrayal are the proper meaning of the problem. - "Chengdu Please Forget Me Tonight"

Murong Xuecun had fallen in love, and later wanted to understand, not wanting to fall in love and not wanting to get married. Loved the drifting state.

In 2004, he went to Hangzhou and later to Lhasa. Living in a rented house in Lhasa, you can see the Potala Palace from the window, and there are snow-capped mountains in the distance. Of all the provincial capital-level cities, only Haikou and Taipei have not been. "In fact, the ideal state is far away from us, we can only live an undesirable life, this is the human world."
In 2002, because he could not combine part-time work and writing, he decided to resign to write.
In 2002, with the novel "Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight", it caused a strong response among the vast number of netizens, and quickly became popular, and was elected as one of the "Four Great Writers of the Internet" (the other three are Li Xunhuan, Baby Annie, and Now Where is It).

Most writers write novels with everyone happy ending, either praising love and moving the world, or singing about friendship and brotherhood. However, Murong Xuecun's pen is exactly the opposite, and there is no perfect love in his pen. The protagonist of his work, with the desire for love to possess and the final betrayal, indulges himself unbound in a bright and green society, and the love he originally hoped for will be devalued by greedy desire. When we read his work, we can read the protagonist's entanglement, helplessness, and confusion, but we will not pity him in the slightest, because everything is his own sins. And we're thankful for our sobriety.
Love is sacred in the eyes of most people, people long for love, and they will fight for love. Of course, most people can also enjoy the pleasure brought by love, so many readers will scoff when they read this book, thinking that the content of the book is smearing love. So many people will find this book very dirty, especially those who have not experienced the cruelty of real society, and they are even more dismissive of it.
Those who have harvested love and blossomed fruits naturally resist the content of this book, but in fact, there are many changes in the world, and the most lacking is people who understand. People who read this novel will think that Murong Xuecun is anti-love and ugly human nature in the book. But as everyone knows, the work will not demonize human nature, and only human nature will be ugly. The author writes pessimistic love because he is in awe of love.
There are always two sides to the world, either radiant or dark and silent, but when we are in darkness, it does not mean that we are dark.
"Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight" tells the story of a group of young people who moved from campus to society in the 1970s, mixed with wandering and struggling, confused and jealous, helpless and desperate social situation.
The male protagonist Chen Zhong, the author when taking this name, is also doomed to the heaviness of the ending. Chen Zhong, a young middle school youth with an unrestrained temperament, was debauched during his college years. After graduation, for the heroine Zhao Yue left Beijing and came to Chengdu, from a young man with nothing, all the way to become a senior manager of a company, and with the heroine to achieve positive results. From here, the book seems to be a perfect love story, but it does not want to be heavy and does not let the story develop perfectly. Chen Zhong does love Zhao Yue, but he also retains the stimulation of his previous bad habits, he cannot be satisfied with the happiness brought by marriage, indulges himself in the city of desire, and there are many women who have had to do with him, even including his brother's fiancée, he is completely lost in this drunken dream life.
Whether Chen Zhong and Zhao Yue love each other, the answer is yes, but each other's marriage can not compete with suspicion, mistakes and betrayals again and again, in the face of Chen Zhong's mistakes, Zhao Yue forgives again and again, but in the end it is still defeated to reality, and ends up with a dismal end of divorce. When Zhao Yue looked for love again, Chen Zhong wanted to save it, but whether he saved love, the answer is unknown.
At the end of the novel, Chen Zhong was beaten down in Chengdu because he had offended the people in the society before, and was beaten down in a pool of blood.
I lay down silently, and through the increasingly brilliant night sky of Chengdu, I saw a golden god, who was watching the world with compassion in the clouds, and legend said that tonight he would bless the world.
In a later revised edition, the author had such a self-statement
At the end of this story, I still let Chen Zhong die. Having thought of multiple endings before, leaving him or reinvigorating, there is also a returnist: he stands downstairs, waiting for his ex-wife to come downstairs, just as he waited for his girlfriend on the sunset campus years ago. But in the end I thought he still deserved to die, had to die. Death is a theme I've always loved because it's the final ending and it's the end of everything.
The past is like water, I am like an ignorant and ignorant loser, squandering all the way, until the day of the end, only to find that I am worthless. Perhaps, dying is the best way for Chen Zhong to be relieved, and it is also a way to atone for sins.
"Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight" is a pessimistic and realistic novel work, the story in the text makes people feel absurd, the author shows us the dark side of human nature, does not represent the current state of society. Rather, we need to recognize reality from the story, learn lessons, and avoid making mistakes.
Because I have always believed that love is an insurmountable existence.
