Features: Short and medium-length fiction, with its moderate reading length and rapid reflection on real life, is deeply favored by a broad readership. In this field, there are often works of excellence by established writers that take the lead and win awards in national competitions; there are also emerging literary talents constantly appearing, bringing us new aesthetic experiences with their unique experiences. Therefore, since the summer issue of 1995, the magazine has annually edited and published an annual selection of outstanding works. The editing and publication of these books have now spanned ten years, with gradually increasing circulation and widespread influence and acclaim among readers.
The publication of The 2005 China Novel Rankings was not aimed at seeking a place in the "ranking fever." Our original intention in compiling this book was simply to meet the need for reading high-quality fiction. Based on the annual selection of outstanding works, after careful comparison and selection, we ultimately chose 8 medium-length stories and 8 short stories for this book, thereby highlighting the general achievements of medium and short-length fiction creation in 2005.
