Scholar Wang Kan conducts an analysis of Ai Wei’s works and narrative style. The narrative is examined in light of the theme of compassion commonly found in Ai Wei’s works, taking several examples from his works The Murderer Wang Ken, The Sun Is Shining, and “Country Movies.” Then Wang Kan analyzes what he terms “negative affirmation,” a type of rhetoric used by Ai Wei to examine human nature through paradox, as well as the theme of redemption through self-torture that permeates Ai Wei’s works. Wang Kan also examines Ai Wei’s method of historical analysis based on human nature and its implications for both history and human nature. Finally, Wang Kan turns to Ai Wei’s idealistic expectations for human nature, and analyzes how he upholds this idealism despite numerous narratives saturated with depictions of a deformed and darkened version of human nature.
