Features: The "Nine Yuan Series" is self-explanatory, with each book priced at nine yuan. Offering books at low prices to benefit readers has always been a means of promoting excellent works in the publishing industry and has been one of the traditions of the People's Literature Publishing House. The purpose of editing and publishing the Nine Yuan Series is to inherit this fine tradition, allowing outstanding literary works to be better disseminated and shared as spiritual nourishment for contemporary literature in a broader range. The Nine Yuan Series includes twenty titles, all of which are outstanding middle-length novels that emerged in the past three decades, hence the name "Middle-Length Masterpieces." In the future, there will also be a second and third series, with other genres of literary works also entering the scope of the Nine Yuan Series. It should be noted that some excellent middle-length masterpieces that should have been included in the series were unfortunately excluded due to unresolved copyright or other technical issues. We deeply regret this and kindly ask the readers for their understanding. Editorial Department of the People's Literature Publishing House, December 2005
