Features: This book is selected and commented on by the "Contemporary New Works Forum" of Peking University. The forum is hosted by Professor Cao Wenxuan of the Department of Chinese at Peking University and young scholar Shao Yanjun, with participants being master's and doctoral students in modern and contemporary literature at Peking University. The forum adopts a meticulous reading approach to over ten representative literary journals such as Harvest, Contemporary, October, Flowers City, People's Literature, and Shanghai Literature, selecting and commenting on recommended fiction works. This work began in 2004 and has been ongoing for three years to date. This book is a collection of the recommended fiction works selected by the forum in 2006. It is the product of dozens of intense discussions and exchanges, and as the clamor fades in the wash of time, we hope it will provide a reliable clue for contemporary literature.
