Features: Wu Ran's children's prose and prose poems stand out nationally. This book is a comprehensive selection of the author's works in this genre. The four collections—Summer Stories, Written in a Memory Book, Snatching Spring Water, and The Path Leads to Bitahai—include both short pieces for young children and exquisite chapters and travel writings for young friends. Most of these works draw inspiration from Yunnan, describing the beautiful and ethereal natural landscapes and the mysterious, enchanting lives of ethnic minorities in the region. They celebrate nature, as well as humanity's love and warmth. With elegant prose, rich poetic charm, and a vibrant sense of childhood, Wu Ran's children's prose, with its distinctive style, has captivated readers, gained widespread influence, and is deeply loved. Selections such as New Year's Gift, Pearl Spring, and Our Ethnic Minority Primary School have been included in the six-year compulsory education Chinese language textbooks and experimental curriculum standards textbooks. Some works have also been selected as model texts for primary and secondary school Chinese readers or supplementary reading materials, translated into English, Japanese, Korean, and other languages for international promotion. Others have been published in Taiwan, with Walking with the Moon included in the 12th grade National Language Experimental Teaching Materials in Taiwan Province.
