Affecting my twenty novels (Ge Fei - China Fiction Reader Life's Literary Treasure)

Features: In the history of Chinese literature, classical novels have also experienced numerous "set-offs" and even absorbed certain narrative achievements from foreign regions, but they have essentially struggled within the framework of Chinese literature and history. The most significant "set-off" in the scale of Chinese novels occurred about a hundred years ago. The emergence of "modern literature" led to unprecedented revolutionary changes in Chinese fiction. From the concept of the novel to its language; from genre, narrative perspective, narrative person to rhetoric, every field underwent significant expansion, ultimately forming a clear boundary line between the modern and the classical. We hope these celebrated works that have "influenced" the growth of a writer's soul can also "influence" you, nourishing and awakening the classic sentiments and nostalgia within your heart. As the French writer André Gide aptly said, "Influence creates nothing; it merely awakens." Indeed, only when your memory, imagination, and dormant heart are awakened can your reading truly begin.
