About this Event
作家、評論家李靜的文學生涯始於1990年代的北京。年輕時，她曾是王小波的文學編輯，在擔任《北京文學》編輯期間發表過他的短篇小說和文學批評，並試圖推動《紅拂夜奔》的發表而未果。
這段未能如願的編輯經歷，成為她理解文學體係與創作自由的重要起點，也深刻影響了她此後的批評與戲劇寫作。
從文學期刊到報紙副刊，從文學評論到文化批評，李靜親歷了中國文學與公共文化近三十年的變遷。
本場對談將從李靜與王小波的交往談起，回望1990年代中國文學的思想氛圍，討論王小波的自由精神、理性與幽默如何影響了一代寫作者，也探討編輯在文學制度中的角色與困境。
在今天，批評是否仍能保持獨立？文學還能為個體提供怎樣的精神自由？我們又該如何重新理解知識分子在社會中的責任？

Literature is not only about writing, but also about reading, judgment, and the ability to think independently in one’s own time. As literature gradually loses its influence in public life, and criticism becomes increasingly constrained by the market, the media, and power, why do we still need literary criticism?
Writer and critic Li Jing began her literary career in Beijing in the 1990s. As a young editor, she worked with important Chinese writer Wang Xiaobo. During her time at Beijing Literature, she published his short fiction and literary criticism and tried unsuccessfully to bring his novel Hongfu Yeben (Hongfu Flees at Night) into print. That unfulfilled editorial effort became a formative experience in her understanding of literary institutions and creative freedom, profoundly shaping her later criticism and playwriting. From literary journals to newspaper literary supplements, and from literary criticism to broader cultural commentary, Li Jing has witnessed nearly three decades of change in Chinese literature and public culture.
This conversation begins with Li Jing’s encounters with Wang Xiaobo and looks back at the intellectual atmosphere of Chinese literature in the 1990s. It explores how Wang’s commitment to freedom, reason, and humor influenced a generation of writers, while considering the role and dilemmas of editors within literary institutions. Can criticism remain independent today? What kind of intellectual freedom can literature still offer individuals? And how might we rethink the responsibilities of intellectuals in society?
Guest: Li Jing (playwright, literary critic, editor)

Her plays have been translated into English, German, Italian, Romanian, and Korean.
