Wang Shuo has been the most controversial writers in recent 30 years. People like him exalted him highly, that he is representative of post-modernism, anti-traditional athlete, counter-cultural hero. People don't like him say he is a "rogue writers", his works are "riffraff literature." The first mostly from the former voice of civil society, and our mainstream literature, the critics prefer the latter. In addition to academic intellectuals in the "great debate on human spirit," Lieutenant-General Wang Shuo as the target, severely attacked after a while, were all choose to remain silent. People think that Wang Shuo is "rogue writer," "riffraff literature" of course wrong, but stubbornly high moral support for him, I think it is also undesirable. Wang Shuo and his works lacks fair and objective evaluation so far. This article attempts to link the hero's image of Wang Shuo's novels and his own, Let's insight the situation at different times of Wang Shuo by means of the evolution of the hero image, you will find that Wang Shuo is not as others perceived as chic, so arrogant, because his novels always emitting a faint hint of bitterness.

This is the externalization of the life of Wang Shuo's anxiety.Chapter II of "Wanzhu" series as the research object, "Wan Zhu" series created "Wanzhu group portrait," they don't survive the danger, but also don't want nothing, only comments the community.
