Features: Literature is the spiritual root of a nation, deeply rooted in the folk, and its popularization can elevate. Huaxia Publishing House has searched for the outstanding works of masters of modern Chinese literature and launched the "100 Modern Chinese Literary Masters Ten Yuan Book Series" at an extremely modest price, comprising a total of eighteen titles. The aim is to guide active literary reading, enhance the literary appreciation and social insight of the public, and enrich people's spiritual lives. This book includes 12 short stories by Mei Mian such as "Fish" and "Crab," as well as one long novel, "The Night-Blooming Jasmine." Her novels are either adept at uncovering subtle yet profound meanings from the ordinary lives of ordinary people, with seemingly simple techniques but actually meticulously arranged structures; or they tend to express strong inner emotions with delicate psychological descriptions, demonstrating mature artistic skill. She is known as the "Southern Ling (Eileen Chang) and Northern Mei." Mei Mian was, at the time, considered "prominent and distinctive in her own style."
