Features: The over one hundred new literary works introduced in this book are essentially precious first editions from the last century that represent the development history of modern Chinese literature. Many of them are the authors' debut works or influential works at the time. These books are now preserved in the Modern Chinese Literature Museum and are not easily accessible to ordinary people. The book revolves around these books, telling the historical background, people, events, or other related stories associated with their writing and publication. It is both a (s, meaning "") and a story. The reflections in the articles show the relentless exploration of predecessors into society and life, their dedicated pursuit of the literary cause, and their attitude of striving for excellence in creation. Some writers completed their works in the midst of poverty and hardship; others finished their works during turbulent and wandering refugee lives; and some even changed the titles of their progressive works multiple times to get them published. The book adopts a combination of text and images to recreate the original style of the books. It includes nearly three hundred images of book covers, copyright pages, and illustrations, aiming to allow readers to directly experience the vicissitudes of the history of new literature and to provide modern literature researchers with more intuitive objects.
