China writer Yu Hua once spoke highly of McEwan: "This is ian mcewan. His narrative always seems to be on the border, which separates hope and disappointment, terror and comfort, cold and warmth, absurdity and vividness, violence and weakness, reason and emotion, and then his narrative has both. Just like a king has a vast territory, McEwan's boundary narration gives him a broad feeling of life. He also wrote disappointment when he wrote hope, comfort when he wrote terror, warmth when he wrote coldness, realism when he wrote absurdity, weakness when he wrote violence, and emotional impulse when he wrote rationality and calmness.
