Features: Modern Chinese prose, which originated from the May Fourth Movement, broke out from Chinese classical literature and rapidly grew into the most dazzling category in new literature. It has experienced ups and downs, rises and falls, and has continued to this day. The prose of writers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and overseas Chinese communities, no matter how much they have been immersed in the tropical winds and rain, no matter how different the content they write from the mainland of China, ultimately returns to being an extension of the long-standing tradition of Chinese classical literature and an extension of the spiritual lineage of China's May Fourth Movement in new literature.
