On April 18, 2024, before a conversation with Li Jingze and Mai Jia at Zhejiang University, Wang Meng was chatting with everyone in the lounge. He mentioned giving lectures in college. A student handed him a note and asked, "I am studying science and engineering. What benefits can literature bring me?" Wang Meng replied, "If you fall in love with any female classmate, if you have no feelings for literature, I will be anxious for you."
