Features: Approaching literary history from the perspective of the writer's file is a very important angle. If our literature has once been monotonous and uniform, with writers appearing familiar and works sharing similar value orientations and aesthetic characteristics, then in the past two decades, especially in the past decade, writers' literary concepts and creative methods have undergone extremely complex changes. Although the "Chinese Writer File Series" does not present itself in a chronological manner, it fully respects the individual freedom of writers, respects their choices, beliefs, and value commitments in literary concepts and creative practice, and respects the truth of the paths they have already walked. The elders since the May Fourth Literary Revolution have gradually faded away, leaving behind a rich heritage. Their beautiful works, altruistic sentiments, winding and lives, and literary pursuits contain profound meanings. The sense of rupture, unease, and the tragic struggle to integrate into the new era resulting from the abrupt transition between two eras, as well as the remorse expressed by Mr. Ba Jin after the Cultural Revolution, all hold deep significance.
