Features: In recent years, the literary world has been in a state of uproar, with all sorts of bizarre, absurd, strange, and vulgar literary trends making their debut. The scene is flashy, lively, yet deserted with few readers. Still not content, they push forward "beautiful writers" and "new humans" to the forefront, painting them up and twisting their waists, all in pursuit of new highlights.
Let's call this kind of literature "bubble literature." Bubble, after all, is something that vanishes in an instant. If such things are mixed into the literary world, it would be no different from counterfeit and shoddy goods, disrupting society, deceiving the public, and even causing disabilities or even death—turning literature into something neither horse nor donkey-like. This is a tragedy for the entire literary world.
Of course, in these years, our literature has also had its bright side, with fresh air and clear skies. Let alone the heavyweight writers releasing heavyweight works, even the wildflowers and grasses have been thriving, competing in beauty, and occasionally revealing a touch of resilience, a hint of subtle fragrance, captivating people to the point of losing control and being unable to stop.
The purpose of compiling the "Middle School Beautiful Prose Reader" series is to gather these scattered wildflowers and grasses, cultivate them with soil and fertilizer, so that readers can appreciate them. The style focuses on the popular short essays and essays of the time, emphasizing readability, originality, and philosophical depth. There are lingering emotions, melodious tunes, as well as insights into the heart and profound reflections. Randomly picked, they always contain some essence of daily life, leaving people with much to savor and ponder.
The voices of the century blend, and the wildflowers and grasses release their fragrance.
May the abundant literary style continue to blow, and may the branches of the spirit remain evergreen.
