Wang Meng often talks about 19th century Russian literature,but there are many misun-derstandings and estrangements.The reason for this is that his rational considerations and values are mis-aligned.He lacks emotional identification and value understanding of 19th century Russian literature.His"Crucifixion"is a dialogue with the great writers of 19th century Russia on the level of faith,but it re-flects the spiritual alienation and dissonance between them.Wang Meng's latest works identify the"path-ological"view of 19th century Russian literature because,even in his old age,he is still a spiritual"out-sider"to Tolstoy and others.
