Features: This book explores the connections between the publication of modern literary works in the 1950s and various aspects such as cultural and artistic policies, the writing of literary history, the establishment of classics, and the shaping of modern literary traditions through the study of "New Literature Selections" published by Kaiping Bookstore from 1950 to 1957 and "Modern Writers Selections" published by People's Literature Publishing House.
