As the saying goes, "a writer's works are as tall as their body," but the 55-year collection of Beijing Literature is far taller than that—it towers many times over the height of a person. For the staff who have served this magazine, it is not just a profession, but rather a soaring literary dream, a life of unwavering dedication, and an arduous yet persistent pursuit of reaching the heights of human spirit, aesthetics, and humanities.
