Features: Classic Shanghai journal. Literary Quarterly was a bridge built by figures such as Zheng Zhenduo, Jin Yi, and Ba Jin in the 1930s across the literary circles of Beijing and Shanghai. It transcended partisan and group boundaries, broke down the barriers between academia and the literary world, and introduced the finest works of the most outstanding writers from both cities with simplicity, depth, grandeur, and a stronger, more courageous spirit. Many masterpieces in the history of modern Chinese literature, such as Thunderstorm, were first introduced to readers through Literary Quarterly. In terms of length and scope, Literary Quarterly also pioneered a new era for large-scale pure literary journals in modern China.
