"Abandoned Capital" takes the contemporary life in Xi'an as the background, takes the emotional entanglement between Zhuang Zhidie and several women as the main line, and uses Ruan Zhifei and other famous figures as the auxiliary line to describe a story of the last century. A history of Chinese social customs in the 1980s. The novel was serialized in October magazine in 1993 and later published by Beijing Publishing House. It caused controversy due to its large number of sexual descriptions.
For many years, the "□□□□ (the author deleted the word ×× here)" approach in "The Wasted City" has kept it from people's sight. It is said that there are more than 60 pirated versions of "Dead City". No matter how shoddy the paper of these pirated books is, and the typos are everywhere, those "□□□□ (the author here deleted the word ××)" without any actual content have been preserved without any damage. Smart pirates are obviously able to grasp the "market conditions". Recently, "The Wasted City" has been reprinted, and the classic "□□□□" has been changed to "...", which is called "Low-key". It really feels like changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Looking at the language style and the coherence with the context, I was convinced that it was Jia's original work. So the netizen transcribed these abridged paragraphs into an electronic draft and posted it on a forum.
