Features:
1. The letters included in this book, written by friends to Mao Dun, are from the collection of the Manuscripts of Chinese Cultural Famous Figures at Shanghai Library. Mao Dun's own collected works have already been published. The selections mainly come from The Complete Works of Mao Dun (Volumes 37 and 38, People's Literature Publishing House: 1997 edition), The Collected Works of Mao Dun (Baihua Literature Publishing House: 1983 edition), and The Letters of Mao Dun (Zhejiang Literature Publishing House: 1984 edition).
2. The letters are arranged by the authors who corresponded with Mao Dun. Works by the same author are organized in chronological order, while works by different authors are arranged by the chronological order of their respective collections.
3. Occasionally, the original letters contain awkward phrasing, which is preserved as is without editing by the compilers. Suspected typographical errors or omissions in the original text are corrected with brackets [], for reference. Unidentifiable characters are replaced with placeholders. Text in parentheses, unless otherwise noted, is part of the original text.
4. Some texts in the collections have been slightly edited for clarity.
5. Titles and footnotes are added by the compilers. Some footnotes adopt the original notes from The Complete Works of Mao Dun (Volumes 37 and 38).
