Jia Pingwa once said that "holiness is true loneliness". As one of the most famous and influential writers in modern times, he has personal loneliness. Because he can maintain a clear and transparent heart in chaotic times.

Jia Pingwa’s writings reveal a hint of loneliness and desolation from the northwest, as well as the reality and savagery of the northwest people. In terms of the level of literary works, I think he is as famous a writer as Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Lu Yao, and Chen Zhongshi.

What impressed me the most was Jia Pingwa’s "The Wasted Capital". His keen insight, sharpness and wisdom of thought are everywhere revealed in it. The male protagonist Zhuang Zhidie in the book, as an intellectual in a northwest city, showed his ideological confusion during the period of China's socio-economic transformation. By describing his zombie-like life and self-destructive lifestyle, he depicts the fractured thoughts of this generation in China. Although the book was banned for several years, it still won awards internationally. No amount of criticism can stop the lofty status of this book. Jia Pingwa ruthlessly exposed the darkness of human nature and the cruelty of reality with unnecessary courage.

Jia Pingwa once said that the publication of "The Wasted Capital" turned him into the most complicated person, who originally thought he was the cleanest person in the literary world.

Perhaps this book still has a lot of criticism, but it is undeniable that he has made great affirmation and contribution to Chinese traditional culture. For example, Jia Pingwa's "Qin Opera" reveals his full appreciation of China. His support and appeal for cultural heritage also reflect his determination to inherit it. The mixed northern Shaanxi dialect makes the characters in the story vivid and flesh-and-blood. What Jia Pingwa really achieved is that Bai Pingshi writes about ordinary life in a non-ordinary way.

It takes time to understand Jia Pingwa. He was born in a repressed era, and his emotional suppression will inevitably make this talented man put his gushing and strong emotions into his writing. Personally, I think Jia Pingwa's language charm is unmatched by ordinary writers.
