Features: This series of selected works includes six types: Short Story Selection (divided into two volumes), Short Story Selection, Reportage Literature Selection, Prose Selection, Poetry Selection, and Micro-fiction Selection. One set is published each year, with the intention of continuing it in the long term. Our editorial policy is to strive to select the most representative works of the year, to select high-quality and outstanding works, and to reflect the main creative trends, thematic hotspots, and subtle changes in artistic forms in a particular literary genre of the year. At the same time, we adhere to full diversity in style, technique, and formal language, emphasizing the innovative value of the works and meeting the reading expectations of the readers. We select works that are enjoyable to both refined and popular audiences. We believe that excellent literary selections play a very important role in demonstrating, guiding, and promoting literary creation, and they also have a significant subtle influence on readers. In addition to their value in demonstration and guidance, they also possess literary history value, documentary value, and the value of nurturing new talents. We will not forget the significant role that many famous selections have played in the development of literature, and we hope that this series of selections can fulfill its role.
