Mother, you are the lotus leaf, and I am the red lotus. The rain of the heart has come—except for you, who can be my shade under the open sky?

Cao Wenxuan: Childhood
Hardship gives us wings for fantasy. We use fantasy to our shortcomings and gaps, to weave tomorrow's garland with fantasy, to comfort ourselves, strengthen ourselves, and develop ourselves. Hardship has given me profound life experience and infused resilience into my character.
This series of books is not a comprehensive display of China's nearly century-old achievements in children's literature but is curated with the theme of "love" as its core, selecting two volumes of novels, one volume of fairy tales, and one volume of essays. During the selection process, we were once again moved by the richness and vastness of "love." We did not expect that within this seemingly outdated and singular theme, there would be such a wealth of forms, and it truly made us understand why "love" has become an eternal theme in literature. "Love" is indeed an ever-renewing narrative. From these works, we also discover that children's innocent hearts are so sensitive to "love"—whether it is familial love, friendship, teacher-student affection, or even fainting love, they yearn for it so deeply. I believe today's children share the same longing.
This series of books can nourish the hearts of children, allowing them to experience and contemplate love, and to seek its true essence. At the same time, it holds significant historical value. China's Children's Publishing House has recently published a series of classic works, such as the Children's Literature Collection and the Bing Xin Children's Literature Collection (Illustrated Edition). Their efforts to rediscover China's classic children's literature have contributed to promoting a healthy and pure new mainstream of children's literature reading and protecting the development of original Chinese children's literature. The planning and publication of this series, Angel on Earth—Selected Works of Kindness Reading by Renowned Writers, undoubtedly once again demonstrate their vision, magnanimity, and taste.
