Features: The "New Humanistic Dialogue Series" edited by Wang Yao and Lin Jianfa expresses the thoughts and reflections of people in the era of "dialogue," commemorating the joys and sorrows brought by thinking and contemplation. The selected participants for the dialogues are all renowned writers and scholars, including Feng Jicai, Zhou Limin, Han Shaogong, Wang Meng, Li Oufan, and Su Tong. The "intellectual condition" of the series can largely reveal the contours of the intellectual and cultural circles since the 1990s. These "humanistic intellectuals" offer various interpretations of intellectual and cultural issues, radiating the warmth of their own lives. In a certain sense, this series of dialogues is also a spiritual self-narrative of the participants.
