Features: In the 1920s and 1930s, the field of modern Chinese literature gave rise to a large number of talented and distinctive young writers. They were deeply influenced by the New Culture Movement of the May Fourth period, filled with a strong desire for spiritual freedom and individual liberation. They converged in a few major metropolises of old China, which were gradually modernized, attempting to change the world and others with their hearts and pens. However, their souls were fragile and sensitive, brimming with new ideas, yet they had nothing to show. Facing the oppression and consumption of the distorted urban civilization of old China, all their struggles and resistance ultimately proved in vain. Melancholy, helplessness, depression, and despair followed them like shadows. Thus, all their painful emotions and fragmented thoughts were transformed into moving chapters that embodied the strong modernity, romance, and sorrow of the battle between the soul and the flesh. How many years have passed, yet these works, like blood-cried phoenixes, left behind for future generations, shine like brilliant stars in the night sky, still radiating captivating brilliance. A classic nostalgic series CD of Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan is included with the book.
