Divine Whip won the National Excellent Short Story and Excellent Novelette Award. Some works have been translated into English, French, German, Japanese and Russian and published abroad. Feng Jicai is good at writing stories about intellectuals' life and Tianjin's modern history. Pay attention to choose a novel perspective, use varied artistic techniques, describe carefully and deeply, dig the inside story of life and chew the taste of life.
In recent years, Feng Jicai has devoted himself to urban protection and the rescue of folk cultural heritage, and completed the role transformation from a literary artist to such a "social activist". What moved Feng Jicai most was the large-scale transformation of the old city that began after the reform and opening up in the 1990s. He found that many cities have destroyed their previous cultural characteristics and become one. Feng Jicai believes that industrial civilization is gradually replacing agricultural civilization. In this process, the huge folk culture constructed by primitive agricultural civilization will soon be lost. Advanced developed countries began to rescue their own folk culture in the fifties and sixties, but at present, the consciousness of our entire intellectual community is not enough. In addition, our folk culture has been in a state of self-destruction, and no one cares. Without rescue, it will really disappear.
One of the important tasks that Feng Jicai is responsible for is to rescue the folk cultural heritage of China, and conduct a carpet survey of all folk cultures left over by 56 ethnic groups, including the Han nationality, from ancient villages to small purses, including folk customs and folk literature, once for 10 years. Feng Jicai has repeatedly stressed that the purpose of saving China folk culture is not to preserve a certain form, but to preserve China's beautiful feelings and spirit in the process of globalization. For the world culture, the achievement of the East is also an undeveloped mineral deposit, so it is also a focus of our future exploration. With Feng Jicai's persistent appeal and running, people began to realize the value of ancient culture. Feng Jicai said that what the intelligentsia should do is to awaken the public to the value of these cultures, but this is a huge cultural project, which cannot be completed by a few intellectuals alone. What is important is that our nation can begin to love its own culture, understand its unique value, especially its spiritual value, and gradually become the consensus of people.
