Author: Compiled by the Editorial Department of "Story World"
Publisher:
Publishing Date: July 1, 2004
Features: This is the first collection of works selected, recommended, and voted on by middle school students in China. It comes from middle school students across the country, with over 10,000 recommended works being sifted through and filtered to select about 1,000 pieces. Then, students from several key middle schools in Shanghai were invited to form a "Reading Club," and based on the majority agreement of the students, these 100 stories were finally compiled. Those eager to get a first look frankly admitted that reading these works revealed what light reading truly is and allowed them to experience the genuine charm of joyful education. Because it not only teaches one to feel moved but also leaves a subtle imprint of life in the process of being moved. Without the need to read word for word, these stories have already permeated the realm of consciousness and burst forth when needed. Of course, for other readers, reading these works serves two purposes: on one hand, it helps understand what kind of works middle school students actually like, and on the other hand, it allows for an exploration of their psychological world and value orientations.
