Features: The China Modern Literature Museum was established on the initiative of the great modern Chinese literary master Ba Jin. Under his proposal, after several years of preparation, the first China Modern Literature Museum officially opened on March 26, 1985, in the western courtyard of Wanshou Temple in Beijing. Every year, the China Modern Literature Museum hosts creative life exhibitions, memorial meetings, and academic symposiums for renowned writers. It also utilizes its collection to edit and publish selected works of writers, facsimile editions of classic first versions, and correspondence collections, aiming to launch a monumental series that showcases the glorious achievements of 20th-century Chinese literature. This has been the shared aspiration of all the staff at the China Modern Literature Museum. After long deliberation and careful consideration, the final selection of writers and works for China Modern Literature Masterpieces: 100 Volumes was determined. With the joint efforts of over 20 editors at Huaxia Publishing House, this grand cultural project in the history of 20th-century Chinese literature was finally unveiled on May 18, 2000, upon the opening of the new museum.
As a key publishing project of the publishing house, China Modern Literature Masterpieces: 100 Volumes took 10 years to complete, involving two successive presidencies and over 20 editors in the editorial review process. It was ultimately published, receiving high attention from various sectors of society. Libraries such as the National Library of China, the China History Museum, and the Chinese Literature Research Institute have collected it as a key piece.
