Features: This book is divided into two volumes and is part of the "20th Century Chinese Literature Studies" series. The 20th century was a period of transformation in Chinese society, marked by significant changes, rapid development, and a highly complex process. It featured both uplifting struggles and tragic songs, as well as absurd and humorous elements. Chinese intellectuals, amidst these waves of change, engaged in reflection, exploration, awakening, and creation, driving the progress of academia and, in turn, the development of society. For Chinese society, this century was a critical and important one. Over these hundred years, China transformed from a poor, backward, semi-colonial, and semi-feudal nation into an independent and emerging developing country. With the immense societal changes, people's lifestyles and ideological concepts also underwent significant transformations. As an important aspect of the cultural form, the academic field also experienced a process of transformation and development.
