Features: The creation of children's novels in the first 50 years of the People's Republic of China has achieved significant development and impressive results under the dedicated efforts of numerous writers, the attention and support of many editors, publishers, and critics of children's literature. We have every reason to believe that in the new 21st century, Chinese children's novels will undoubtedly usher in further growth, development, and prosperity. We are confident that more and better writers and works will be presented to the young readers. This anthology, which comprehensively collects the cream of New China's children's novels, serves two purposes: on the one hand, it systematically introduces important works of contemporary Chinese children's novels to today's young readers, helping them understand the genre and gain inspiration and benefits; on the other hand, it provides a relatively complete and valuable resource for researchers both at home and abroad. In fact, since children's novels objectively reflect the real lives of children, their creation can more directly mirror the changes and development of children's literary concepts. In this sense, this anthology, composed of over a hundred representative children's novels, can also be seen as a vivid and tangible history of the growth of Chinese children's literature.
