aAge of Impurity Round Table of Life Omnibus Volume II, 2001 ~ 2002 (ePub)

In September, 1995, when I took over the executive chief editor of Sanlian Lifeweek and prepared for the Sanlian Lifeweek officially published in the semimonthly way, I designed that the next column was Life Square A* Voices. In terms of the column, it followed the original design. Before I took over the Sanlian Lifeweek, Qian Gang had designed the column of "e;life square"e; during the trial publication of Sanlian Lifeweek, and Yang Lang changed that to "e;people's square"e; when the Sanlian Lifeweek was officially established in the monthly way. "e;Square"e; was a concept liked by Mr. Dong Xiuyu, the leader of the Sanlian Bookstore at that time. That was the cultural space of free and open exchanges. Although it was a "e;square"e;, in fact, it was not possible to achieve the momentum of meeting and speech, and also it was impossible to make a thought have attachment in a thousand words. At the very start, I turned to familiar friends of the literature circle, Wang Xiaobo, Yu Hua, Su Tong and Shi Tiesheng all had good writing abilities. I remembered that Wang Xiaobo's first article in the "e;life square"e; was called Personal Dignity, the question proposed was that "e;when one is not in the unit, the home, and exists alone without representing the nation and the country, he is just a piece of meat"e;.
