As fantastic and convoluted as the plot sometimes gets, “Wo Ju” offers a truthful look at what animates contemporary Chinese society: property, money, sex, cars, and power. Perhaps because it captures the zeitgeist so well, the program has become hugely popular, so much so that it has recently caught the attention of media censors.
然而在曲折离奇的情节之外，《蜗居》其实真实地再现了当今中国社会的背后推动力：房产，金钱，性，车和权力。或许是因为太过贴近现实，这部剧集取得了巨大的成功，甚至吸引了官方媒体审查部门的注意。事实上，这部剧对丑陋现实的揭露以及当今中国精神空虚的描述直接导致其被禁止在北京某电视频道播放。
