Rude

The power of an essay comes not only from the sincerity of its emotions but also from its formal exploration.

"Hasty" is an adventure in essay writing. With humorous yet profound strokes, the author re-examines the essence and boundaries of the essay, challenging readers' preconceived notions of the genre. Starting from personal creative experiences, the author guides us to explore the possibilities of the essay—not just as a narration of personal experience but also as a testing ground for language and thought.

The author reviews the influence and contradictions of literary awards, analyzes the traditional limitations of the essay, and uses experimental language to invite readers to consider: How far can the essay go? Can writing be freer?

The title, taken from "acting in haste," contains a deep reflection on essay/sketch writing, a type of essay distinct from lyrical essays. Mu Yu draws on Western literary traditions, extensively citing examples to propose an alternative approach to essays: the sketch. The core of sketchism: fragments, randomness, and combination. The world is composed of countless fragments, and the sketch is the art of collecting, organizing, and combining these fragments of life to create unique rhythms and effects.
