Features: The 20th century was an extraordinary one. The social life of the 20th century was turbulent and underwent profound changes, while the Chinese literature of the 20th century was also magnificent and diverse. Through its own dramatic evolution, it wrote a brilliant page in the five-thousand-year splendid symphony of the Chinese nation. Featuring collaborations between renowned writers and celebrated works, this book reviews and showcases the abundant achievements and significant progress made in Chinese literature during the 20th century. This book is part of the "60 Great Writers of the Century" series, where the selected writers have their representative works included in "Selected Works" format. In addition to the works, experts have written research-oriented prefaces, and bibliographies of the writers' creative works have been compiled. The purpose is to provide readers with necessary guidance and additional information to understand the writers' works, their creative characteristics, and their positions in literary history.
When it comes to Zhang Wei, those who are somewhat familiar with the Chinese literary scene would not find him unfamiliar. Zhang Wei's works are not particularly numerous, but most of them are classic masterpieces. His works are unforgettable upon first reading and become even more profound with repeated readings. Some writers treat writing like manufacturing goods, but Zhang Wei is meticulous and cautious. In today's (frantic and noisy) world, few writers can demand and fulfill their creative responsibilities, or even their entire lives, with a disciplined, peaceful mindset and a serious, objective attitude. He is one of the few who cannot be overlooked. Da Da's Wife is his debut work, The September Myth is his masterpiece, and The Family is a deeply moving and heart-touching work. This book also includes six of his other short and medium-length stories.
