This research framework remains an exploration and attempt within the field of modern fiction studies, holding significant inspirational value for expanding research in this area. The book holds both academic research value and teaching application value; it can serve as a reference for graduate students in modern and contemporary Chinese literature, as well as a textbook for undergraduate elective courses in Chinese language and literature.
