Wei Jianmei’s essays show abundant and multiple faces. The attitude of joking, as his unique way to resist our society’s cultural logic and its working process, unfolds the difficulty and helplessness of expressing in this era. Since the joking always leads to an enlightener’s standpoint, Wei Jianmei’s essays accomplish a sort of mental communication between western enlightenment and intellectuals in modern China in the call for human’s subjectivity and independence. The enlightener at the same time is a loner. The negation of grand narrative deprives him of any possibility to loudly advocate his opinion and ideal. What leaves him to do is to express his love for the world in the “solo dance of the thoughts” and “monologue of the soul”.
