After the Cultural Revolution, especially since the economic system transition, Chinese literature has undergone significant changes. The market economy inevitably breaks the "screwdriver theory" in literature, giving rise to works with free thought and individualistic colors. However, the market economy ultimately demands writers from an aesthetic perspective rather than market needs, which also inevitably leads to the emergence of purely commercial works. From the perspective of literary appreciation, readers must make their own choices. This book selects modern Chinese essays and poems not from a political or commercial angle, but from a literary perspective, striving to cover various schools, styles, and representative writers for readers to enjoy. Since it is aimed at students, many researchers have written appreciation texts to help readers understand the original works.
