Features: From the founding of the People's Republic of China to 1966, it was a peak period for the creation and publication of Chinese long novels. Over a decade, a large number of works were produced, among which dozens had a widespread influence and reached their zenith. These works adhered to the principles of socialist realism in creation, employing enthusiastic passion and simple artistic expression to celebrate the arduous struggles and vibrant spirit of the Chinese people during different historical periods, such as the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the construction of socialism. They represented the highest achievements of Chinese long novel creation during that period and hold an extremely important position in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. With their unique charm, they have influenced generations of readers and have withstood the test of time,. To present a more complete picture of the development of contemporary long novels and the state of long novel creation during that period, we have specially compiled and published the series "Collected Classics of Contemporary Chinese Long Novels."
1. The series is based on the "Selected Long Novels" published by our press in the 1950s and 1960s and the "Red Classics" series published in the 1990s, striving to include as many outstanding works as possible.
2. The publication dates of the works in the series are mostly between 1949 and 1965, though some multi-volume works have longer publication processes that extend beyond this timeframe.
3. Due to various reasons, some works have had multiple revised editions. For this publication, we have selected the superior versions and conducted proofreading by referring to other editions.
