Features: Over 20 years, several generations of writers with very different concepts, experiences, and mindsets have emerged, as well as a vast array of works with varying concerns, narratives, and styles. The selected works in The 50 Best Chinese Novels (1978-2000) confirm this view to some extent. Chinese writers are constrained by historical traditions and realistic environments, and the development and changes in novel writing and concepts cannot be separated from these traditions and realities. Around the 1970s, novels began to show different pursuits and characteristics from the era of integration.
