Features: The selection of this series of medium-length works primarily emphasizes artistic quality, as literature is ultimately literature, and only artistic excellence can uphold its final dignity. However, under this premise, the series will prioritize works that express the "silenced voices." In contemporary China, the "subordinate" class as described by Gramsci still exists, as do those struggling to survive. In an era where urban white-collar culture and the discourse space of the middle class have been established and expanded, they are the obscured voices. In the sense of literature, being expressed is also a form of "politics of recognition." The subjects of these works confirm the concerns of these writers, as well as their anxieties and confusions. What is particularly noteworthy is that these works emphasize "popular spirit" and embody a compassionate sentiment, which, in a sense, express the highest justice of literature. Thus, in the works of these young writers, we once again encounter the long-missed emotion and power of literature. They may face difficulties in the cultural market, and the marginal nature of their subjects may determine this. But I believe that this is genuine literature, and genuine literature will forever reside in the hearts of people.
