Features: Things in the world are always in pairs and progress. After prosperity, it's time to refine and select the essence. Now, the population is so large that it's hard to manage—lines on the streets, overcrowded trains. The Personnel Department is busy searching for talent. Talent is innate, it's the elite, but it's like gold in the sand—it needs to be panned, washed, and refined. This year marks the 13th anniversary of Meiwen magazine. In Western eyes, 13 is an unlucky number, but to me, it's auspicious. One of Meiwen's editorial offices is on the 13th floor of a building. This year, everything has gone smoothly, and the magazine's circulation has also made significant progress. Meiwen began publishing selected anthologies in its fifth year of publication. In recent years, more anthologies have been released, and the readers' enthusiastic responses have brought us great comfort. This year, publishers have placed even higher value on Meiwen, and they have decided to publish a series of books called Contemporary Reading Classics. This is quite an honor for Meiwen, which doesn't dare to claim itself as classic. However, from another perspective, a name is not just a symbol but also a way of conveying a wish. In small families, parents often give their children grand names, calling them dragons or phoenixes. We dare to take on such a book title because we have a deep respect for classics. This series is mainly selected from the works published by Meiwen over the past 13 years. To reduce repetition with other anthologies, at the publisher's suggestion, some additional articles have been included. We hereby inform the readers of this.
