yeah watching something beautiful get warped 180 degrees out of shape along all axes to fit the pithy platitudes of neoliberal patriarchy was utterly cringe inducing

I had to read the English translation since I cannot read or speak Mandarin unfortunately. Its a really good and engaging book imo, gets better with every page and supposedly loveecraft level shit goes down by the end.

In the beginning tho there are a few scenes describing the Cultural Revolution and struggle sessions.

Is it true that Einstein's theories of Relativity were frowned upon by red guard university students because they were seen as capitalist propaganda?

And is it true that some university lecturers were beaten to death during the struggle sessions? I mean cool if they deserved it (feudal landlords etc.) but the Relativity part seems a bit like the author making shit up.

Its funny how despite this the author is not even overtly rabidly critical of Marxism or Communism itself, unlike western authors who spend 10 pages to explain why "muh gommunism bad" every time such events get brought up. Liu seems to be critical of just the events which transpired during the cultural revolution.

You shouldn't pirate the book from z-library because its very unethical and a breach of IP, so you will be sent to hell when you die.

This neurotic keyboard diarrhea is a prime example of a beta who goes online with implicit intentions of externalizing mental trauma derived from their own personal failings, toxic masculinity, and a general lack of critical thinking which comes with being a reactionary cuckservative.

Trash like this who view "the real world" as paradoxically both a just vehicle to punish individuals who do not conform, and a difficult, unfair place to be, would ironically be shot in a more civilized society for such anti-human views.
