It has a significant impact on condemning evil and promoting justice. However, some are driven by profit and publish inferior works that propagate "brutality, strangeness, and pornography," corrupting a wide range of readers. This collection, "Eastern Creation," takes upon itself the responsibility of "singing the main theme" and strives to achieve "legal, reasonable, and emotionally appropriate" content, "rich in suspense and full of twists and turns" in plot, "unexpected yet logical" in creation, and "accessible to both refined and popular tastes" in style. In short, they aim to make readers appreciate this generous gift.

Regarding time, Shanghai's century-old concessions, the Kuomintang regime, and the vicissitudes of the People's Republic era have accumulated countless old stories and cases.

This makes the detective works more distinctly Chinese, contemporary, and urban, truly necessary and appropriate.
