Features: This is a book that has more than enough reason to stir controversy, as its value orientation and its description of the development of prose differ significantly from traditional prose reading materials. It reveals a part of the prose world, the literary world, and even the entire society that is often overlooked yet is highly dedicated and dynamic. Using a phrase once said by the poet Meng Lang: "Any controversy will be welcomed—as long as it revolves around the fate of Chinese prose in the contemporary era." This book aims to present a fact: the efforts of the new prose writers over the past two decades can actually dispel the great disappointment people have with contemporary Chinese prose, and the future of prose is not as bleak as imagined. If we have a fair judgment of history, then the history of prose over the past two decades must be rewritten, and the lineage of prose creation must be re-established.
