The experience of these intellectual persons in Dong's works confronting the power is nothing but a process of torment of personality and soul, namely, a process of dissimilation and defection, even a process of soul sinking into a moss of servility and distortion.The success of Dong Libo's works thanks to his long tempered hardship had caused a tremendous shock among a great number of readers.
