Features: "Yusi" (The Silkworm) was a renowned modern literary weekly in China, founded on November 17, 1924, in Beijing. It was later banned by warlord authorities and moved to Shanghai for publication. Sun Fuyuan, Lu Xun, Rou Shi, and Li Xiaofeng served as editors successively. Prominent writers such as Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Qian Xuantong, Lin Yutang, Yu Dafu, Liu Yazi, and Zhu Ziqing were contributors to the weekly, leaving behind distinctive and stylistically diverse works. This book selects 70 articles from 260 issues of the weekly, allowing readers to rediscover the charm of "Yusi," which has been preserved for over half a century, and to gain insights into modern and humanistic thought in 1920s China.
