Features: Ten years ago, I once did a for my collected works and had five volumes of 《Tie Ning Collection》 edited and published. Today, ten years later, as I once again do a for my works, it coincides with the People's Literature Publishing House planning to edit and publish the "Series of Contemporary Chinese Writers." Thus, this series of nine books of my works is born. Among them, there are three volumes of novels: 《Rose Gate》, 《City Without Rain》, and 《The Big Bathing Girl》； two volumes of middle-length stories, titled 《How Far Is Eternity》 and 《Cliff Over the Afternoon》； two volumes of short stories, titled 《Guests Are Coming》 and 《Chocolate Imprint》； and two volumes of essays, titled 《Walking Dreams》 and 《As Beautiful and Clear as Paper-Cuttings》。 Readers familiar with the author's works may notice that the novel 《City Without Rain》 was published in 1994, but in 1996 when editing the collection, the author excluded it from the collection. The reason was that at the time, it was perhaps felt that it was not substantial enough! Even because it was too popular, it made the author feel uneasy and even doubt the artistic quality of this work. Ten years later, the author included it in this series of works because the author clearly realized that it was the writing of 《City Without Rain》 that trained the author's ability to structure a novel, and later works such as 《The Big Bathing Girl》 and 《Bun Flower》 benefited from this training to some extent. When a writer does a for their works, they should not overlook the writing that has a sense of connection and foreshadowing.
