Features: The history of Chinese prose in the 20th century encompasses too much hardship, suffering, blood and tears, as well as joy. It is a history of the relentless struggle for the advancement of modern civilization, a history of the expansion and deepening of the Chinese people's awareness, and a history of the turbulent, wavering, yet insightful modern psyche. Here, there is an aura of pure classicism, simplicity, solemnity, and confidence without pretense. It is a collection of the finest, most beautiful, and majestic works that will be remembered for ages.
