Confession is a deep-seated spiritual need of human beings, and great literature has many wonderful expressions about it. There have been different types of writings about confession in the history of modern and contemporary Chinese literature, but due to the impact of the theme of the times, few of them can go deep into the level of original sin. As the successor of this writing style, Zhang Wei has made many attempts in his writing, but he has not surpassed his predecessors. The expressions of this fundamental topic in contemporary literature reveal a defect of Chinese literature: the lack of attention to the common spiritual heritage of mankind leads to the shallowness of writing.
