520 _a"Hu Fang's writing is a juxtaposition of fiction and commentary about a variety of topics relevant to contemporary living, including authoritarian politics, office culture, market economy and personal experiences. These topics co-mingle in his series of texts with great lucidity and wit. His ambition seems to be embedded within the risky act of constant writing, such that he creates little seeds of texts that can be weaved into an encyclopaedia on contemporary society... At the same time, through the unique imaginative space that literature provides, he uses a gentle yet persistent form of violence to penetrate typical constructions, thereby accentuating that which had previously been lacking - that is, a tension in reality between the classics and science fiction, dilemma and panic, ecstasy and despair."" - Jiang Jun, Chief Editor of Urban China New Arcades (Survival Club, Sensation Fair and Cool Shanshui) was originally published as a column series in Art World from July to December, 2005, Shanghai Art & Literature Pubishing House."
