Features: This so-called "Modern Neo-Humanism" is actually modern humanism, specifically referring to the cultural tendency that opposes the alienating forces of rationalism, scientism, and modern technology, industry, and commerce on life and humanity during the modern transformation of Chinese history and culture. The book title places a "Neo" between "Modern" and "Humanism," not out of particular favor for American critic Irving Babbitt's "Neo-Humanism," but rather focuses on collecting works influenced by it. The book includes works such as: "A-Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas," "From the Baicao Garden to the Three Flavor Study," "The Ghost of the Unfair," "Fan A'Nong," "Untitled," "This Is Also Life," "The Female Corpse," "Memoirs of Three Literary Figures," "First Love," "Entertainment Garden," "Birdsong," and others.
