Creation background

Ordinary World was written in 1975. However, the cultural background in the middle and late 1980s was that various new literary thoughts were surging, modernism, stream of consciousness and other literary concepts were all the rage, and the innovation of literary creation forms and techniques was dizzying. On the contrary, the traditional realistic creation has been "ignored". Some critics even think that the realistic writing technique of another novel "Life" by Lu Yao is out of date, but Lu Yao still insists on finishing the novel.

Lu Yao has been preparing and writing for three years. In order to broaden his horizons and master information, he read a lot, including nearly 100 novels, newspapers and other related books in the past decade, and lived a life of "morning begins at noon". At the same time, he also traveled all walks of life and experienced life.
