Features: From the founding of the People's Republic of China to 1966, China experienced a high tide of creative and publishing activities in the field of long novels. Over a decade, a large number of works were produced, among which dozens had a far-reaching impact and reached the zenith of their time. These works adhered to the principles of socialist realism in creation, employing heartfelt enthusiasm and a simple yet profound style to celebrate the arduous struggles and vibrant spirit of the Chinese people during different historical periods, including the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Liberation War, and the construction of socialism. They represented the highest achievements of long novel creation during that period and hold an extremely important position in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. With their unique charm, they have influenced generations of readers, enduring the test of time and being passed down to this day. To present a more complete picture of the development of contemporary long novels and the state of long novel creation during that period, we have specially compiled and published the "Collected Works of Contemporary Chinese Long Novels" series.
1. The series is based on the "Selected Long Novels" published by our press in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as the "Red Classics" series published in the 1990s, and strives to include as many outstanding works as possible.
2. The publication dates of the works in the series are mostly between 1949 and 1965, though some multi-volume works have a longer publication process that extends beyond this period.
3. Due to various reasons, some works have had multiple revised editions. For this publication, we have selected the superior versions and conducted proofreading by referring to other editions.
