Guangxi “Three Musketeers” and World Literature

Abstract

Guangxi "Three Musketeers" (Dong Xi, Gui Zi, and Li Feng) were proposed by the famous literary critic Chen Xiaoming to praise the Guangxi troops in the literary world in 1997. These three writers' creations have their own characteristics: Gui Zi writes the human world of desire, Dong Xi pierces the daily truth with strange imagination, and Li Feng carries on the intellectual's spiritual tour through the historical parody. They are all good at describing nobody, using various modernist and postmodernist techniques, between history and human nature, and tradition and modernity, to describe the life status of the people at the bottom of society and explore spiritual and cultural issues. Their writing is an extensive absorption of world literature, forming their own unique personality in composition in the wide collection, openness and acceptance.
