Features: This book is a sequel to "One Embroidered Shoe," collecting banned folk literary works from the Cultural Revolution and the most widely circulated ones to date, as well as the most popular adventure novels up to now. It can be seen as a summary of the Cultural Revolution handwritten manuscripts. The popularity of "One Embroidered Shoe" laid the foundation for the emergence of "Hidden Currents." Dozens of media outlets across the country joined the heated discussion about handwritten manuscripts, establishing the successful model for handwritten manuscript novels. The controversies surrounding handwritten manuscripts remain unresolved. What is the market like? The importance of a book depends on its social demand. Handwritten manuscripts are specific works born in a particular time, among a specific group of people, and circulated in a specific way. Mr. Bai turned his initial idea into a spotlight, capturing the collectors of handwritten manuscripts scattered among the people. Over a period of 12 months, he visited dozens of households in the capital, like a gold miner bringing neglected handwritten manuscript novels back to light. From faded diaries, dusty drafts, and debris chewed on by mice, he uncovered over 20 handwritten manuscript novels. He carefully restored the damaged parts and painfully edited out nearly half of the works, finally compiling this collection of handwritten manuscript novels.
