Features: "Chinese Treasury," as the name implies, the books collected should represent the finest works of the Chinese publishing industry. We hope to include all the that can represent the level of Chinese publishing, but this requires the strong support of peers in the publishing industry across the country and the efforts of the editorial committee. This is a common endeavor for all Chinese publishers. We believe that as long as we have lofty aspirations and persevere, this endeavor will surely continue and grow stronger. This book includes 121 essays on Beijing written by 74 modern literary masters between 1919 and 1949, including both well-known works such as Lu Xun's "My View of Peking University," Lao She's "Turtle Dove," and Yu Dafu's "Autumn in the Ancient Capital," as well as many exquisite essays that may not be as familiar to the general public. The essays come in diverse forms, are richly varied, and are utterly captivating, gathering a strong sense of social atmosphere and delicate, unrestrained descriptions, reflecting from the side the historical vicissitudes of Beijing over the 30 years. This book is not only an excellent collection of essays for readers but also a rich source of specialized historical materials for researchers.
