Is literature really marginalized and declining?

It is a bit declining. Literature may be submerged by the internet age, but on the one hand, literature is really not good enough, so this may be one of the reasons for its decline.

Film and television obviously can't express all emotions. It's not that people don't pay attention to in-depth works, but they don't care about vulnerable groups. Anyway, let's just live our own lives. Students are bullied for cowardice. The poor have no money because they have no ability. Don't say that the people at the bottom don't understand literature. Xu Lizhi, a migrant worker who has left, still writes poems.

There are some excellent literary works among contemporary traditional writers, but they can't arouse * * *, let alone * * *. For example, Zhihu often quotes Shuang Xuetao (in fact, the theme of solving crimes he wrote has already had a market, and it is not a big problem to make a movie). I know that he wrote a very good work, and maybe he will develop into a writer like Calvino and Borges in the future. But after reading it, I personally don't feel much except that my narrative skills are really superb.

I haven't paid attention to traditional writers for about ten years. I used to only know writers like Xu Yigua and Chi Li who shouted when they were happy. Writers such as Double Snow Peach Road were recommended by Zhihu. After reading their works, I feel that literature is getting farther and farther away from me. Some people in contemporary society, such as me, have a desert in their hearts, which is difficult for writers to observe. It's just like "Three-body", but it has nothing to do with me.
