Features: New Literary Materials has been around for a hundred issues. It was founded at the end of the Ten-Year Catastrophe, and the hardships of that time are still vividly remembered. The saying "Renewed after trials" may carry a slightly bitter taste, but "A bright spot after a dark tunnel" has also left the editors with moments of joy. The hundred issues of Materials are the crystallization of the efforts of three generations of editors. Now, the editors present these three magnificent volumes to the readers. It can be called the essence of the hundred issues—gathering the highlights of the first hundred issues—and the selection of the hundred issues—condensing the hard work of the editors.
