Features: In the crowd, I saw the figure of a girl. At that moment, I noticed a touch of gray amidst her green background—it was a young child right on her tail, whose small hand had torn a bright red "opening" on her green backpack (Liu Dongyang's "The Alluring Green"). Han Mimi fell in love with her classmate Chen An'an. Under Gu Wenyan's pen, this innocent feeling was transformed into a comedy, a farce, imbued with a touch of magical realism. Some of the plot elements drew inspiration from the stylistic techniques of Harry Potter, making it a legendary and extraordinary tale. Cai Zongzhi, who had just graduated from primary school, created The Wind Branch Special Class, featuring vivid and dynamic characters, a story that unfolds in a ring-by-ring sequence, resembling a long scroll of a graduation class. The expressions and appearances of the characters, as well as the ups and downs of the story, are all captured within, with a writing style as smooth as flowing clouds, thus expanding into a broader space. Liu Dongyang, Wu Si, Gu Wenyan, Chen Guzi, He Binruo, Tang Yi, and Tan Ping selected 75 outstanding works from millions of words of writing by young writers, dividing them into seven collections: The Sky Is Laughing at Me, Jasmine in Winter, This Little Devil Is a Genius, The Sun in My Palm, How Many Flowers Have Fallen in My Dreams, Wandering Between the Left Bank and the Right Bank, and The Exit of the Subway. The themes cover society, campus, youth, and ideals. Whether in fiction or prose, they all reflect a sincere attitude toward life, extraordinary artistic imagination, and a writing journey as bright as sunshine. The 2006 China Annual Young Writers' Works is a new milestone in the field of Chinese young literature.
