Abstract: Vulgar Land embodies Li Zishu’s attempt to return to realism. The traditional creed of realism is nothing more than observing and engraving the vicissitudes of life through translucent, omnipotent expression. No matter what perspectiveshe takes, the narrator or the writer studies and grasps the information, deploying words and languages, presenting an eloquent world full of emotions. Vulgar Land’s vivid description of thelife and people in Xi Du (the tin town), has indeed proven the writer’s capable wield of realism.
