Features: Mao Dun's novels are primarily written in a realistic style. In the 1930s, he particularly aimed to incorporate new realism into his creative style. His works exhibit a rational spirit, or to put it another way, he was a rational and socially-oriented writer. This rational spirit can be understood as a kind of century view and literary perspective. In his works, history is no longer an external social space but has transformed into a "major character" within the story.
This collection, edited from Mao Dun's works, selects his finest novels. The series is based on the new Chinese language curriculum standards of the Ministry of Education and is frequently included in high school textbooks. It represents the achievements of modern Chinese literature and introduces writers who embody the pinnacle of this field. The selection of works, preface introductions, and postscript interpretive essays reflect the latest research levels of domestic academia since the 1990s and cater to the reading tastes of young readers. The series is engaging, thought-provoking, and highly appealing, fully embodying the authoritative, contemporary, youthful, knowledgeable, and lively editing style.
The series serves as both a trusted guide and companion for literary enthusiasts and an excellent choice for extracurricular reading for high school students.
