Features: Speech, as a way of speaking or as a way of writing, was once a tradition in modern Chinese literature. This tradition was lost for a considerable period and has recently resurfaced over the past two decades, closely related to whether intellectuals possess a voice and what kind of voice they have. Based on this understanding, we planned the "Novelist Forum" event. The publication of this series of speeches will, in a broader sense, restore the intellectual demeanor and speaking style of the novelists. With the participation of a wide readership, the "Novelist Forum" has acquired new time, space, and characters. — The "Novelist Forum" is not just for "novelists."
