“Under the River” is the only prose written by Contemporary Chinese Contribution Award winner, Ye Fu. The poet, Yang Tu, described Ye Fu’s work, “in the articles discussing about politics, most of them are trying to criticize others and there are rare works reviewing themselves. However, Ye Fu carefully examines himself from his education in the childhood, his cruel inner personalities, to his bizarre story about the family. In Ye Fu’s rational self-analysis, you may see the dim light of human nature, the cruelness of history, the relentlessness of the public, and the coolness of the organization. The delicate descriptions and observations make Ye Fu’s prose different from others’. He tries to honestly face the world and himself, and further digs out the innocence in this time. He doesn’t attempt to blame on somebody else, he just turns to examine the deeper and inner part of the humanity.”
