Features: The Crown Book Series of the Global Chinese Young Writers Selection Contest. This "Crown Book Series," a collection of outstanding works from the contest, includes six excellent longs and some shorts. Leo Wang Qinglin achieves "My Impure Years" with a blend of realism and poetic language, also proving his writing—to record stories that exist in the midst of discovery with heart; Chi Lutei's "Fe2O3 Planet's Feathers" is a fantasy novel where the ambiguous love appears pitiful amidst the questioning of war and the reminiscence of nature, leaving one sighing; Kasi, a college student, is not only a beauty but also a unique traveler. She describes herself as "often losing herself in the midst of writing interruptions," so her "Tearing It Up" carries a more avant-garde flavor, with both its words and themes going beyond the scope of young adult literature. There's the fashionable touch in "The Ten Commandments of Stars," the innocence in "The Cursed Game," and the portrayal of growing pains in "Youth Faction," all of which reveal the rich inner world and unique personal style of the 1980s writers. May this "Crown Book Series" grow richer and more fulfilling with the passage of time, leaving a clear trail for young adult writing and a series of unforgettable memories for youth.
