Features: From these works, we can see how these writers painstakingly contemplated existence and life in an era that pursued substance. These substantial works may be beneficial to us who have become more superficial. This three-volume novel collection, selected by Cao Wenxuan, a doctoral supervisor at the Chinese Department of Peking University, is composed of outstanding works published in this journal over the past two decades. It reflects the overall standard of the journal's fiction section and can be regarded as a side view of short story creation in the field of contemporary Chinese children's literature, as well as a general trend in novels depicting the real lives of contemporary adolescents. Especially in the 1990s, domestic children's literature creation entered a new period of prosperity, with numerous masterpieces and emerging talents, particularly in the realm of short stories and middle-length stories. Thanks to the dedication of numerous children's literature authors, this journal consistently receives works that authors are most satisfied with. This not only ensures the quality of the journal's submissions but also provides a rich foundation for selecting manuscripts for this collection.
