Description
In creating his works, Yan often followed the belief that heroic individuals “should not be portrayed as they were in reality, but as they ought to be in order to become an ideal; they should rise above others shown realistically.” The writer manages to show the complexity of a person’s fate and the lack of division into “ours” and “theirs.”
