Ai Wu seems to be an inimitable writer in contemporary literature history. Accomplishing his magnum opus"Journey to the South", Ai Wu attracted people's attention. Both in the writer's time and ours, attention paid to Ai Wu is too little, or too humdrum. There's little information about Ai Wu in literature history, even just making mention of his name. Basically, all what we know about Ai Wu is his"Journey to the South", and all what we read is the novel"In Three Gorge Valley"in this book. But we cannot overleap him, what's worse, there is even no integrated literature history if there is no research about Ai Wu.
