Features: This book collects over 100 college entrance examination essays written by students from 1999 to 2003, with special inclusion of the works of several young writers who have won first prizes in the New Concept Writing Competition, such as Guo Jingming, Hu Jian, Bai Xue, and Ma Ning. It also features the masterpieces of Liu Bu, the winner of the first prize in the National Youth Writing Competition. The book is supported by contributions from dozens of experienced and accomplished writers, both renowned figures in the literary world and talented outsiders. The collection includes numerous outstanding essays, showcasing a mix of humor, satire, and sharp wit, creating a unique contrast with the more formal essays typically found in college entrance exams. It is often described as "a clash between the literary, intellectual, and educational worlds."
There is every reason to believe that as the first book in China to comprehensively collect student-written college entrance examination essays, it deserves significant attention from educators, literary scholars, and intellectuals. It serves as a major assessment of the literary capabilities of Chinese writers and is particularly important for expanding the horizons of middle school students and improving their writing skills. The book compiles a wealth of excellent works, including essays by famous writers on the same topics and high-quality essays by outstanding students. Some of these works have won first prizes in the National Youth Writing Competition and have been praised and recommended by renowned writers such as Wang Meng, Liu Zhenyun, Ye Yonglie, Kong Qingdong, Yu Jie, Ge Hongbing, and Guozi, as well as a group of professors from Peking University.
The book places both writers and students on the same starting line, embracing the trends of the new century with a focus on humanistic care. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of existing middle school language education and breaks away from the dry and tedious nature of traditional guidebooks, incorporating the educational philosophy of "learning through enjoyment." It reflects the fun and creativity of learning, setting it apart from all previous writing guides in its essence. The book strives to ensure that "no candidate loses a single point they deserve" and to discover the shining moments in their essays with a sense of responsibility and dedication!
