How to evaluate Liu's science fiction novel The Mountain?
The transparent language of the novel is not easy to perceive when reading, but it is deeply felt when writing after reading. Because I wanted to write something to explain it, I found that I couldn't explain it at all, because Liu had explained everything that needed to be explained in the simplest and most direct language. The story is actually very simple, but it is not. Fan Feng (formerly known as Feng Huabei), who was bent on mountain climbing, once organized the climbing of Mount Everest in a university, which eventually killed four members of his team. In order to punish himself for staying away from land, he never climbed mountains for life. This story is ingenious. Fan Feng, which originally came to the seaside to escape climbing, now has a water mountain more than 200 meters higher than Mount Everest, which is now the highest mountain in the world. Fan Feng said, this is fate. When human disaster came, Fan Feng decided to climb the mountain. The reason for climbing the mountain is simple. The mountain is there. Someone must climb it. Such a dramatic fate is of course decided by God and Liu Zhi.
