Preface

2022-1 "October"

"2000" has completed its narrative in the literary narrative. The headline of this issue, "Tomorrow's Party", looks back at the future imagination at the beginning of the century at this moment, and an era that has grown up with people and then ended. "I", Wang Lu, Xiao Xiao, literary and artistic young people, growing up in the restlessness, excitement, expectation and frustration at the turn of the century, "fleeing", gathering and dispersing, "a wave always connects with the next wave", youth ideals and the spirit of the times, the flood waves. With a vivid, charming and precise narrative, Zhou Jianning accurately grasps the "party" as a spirit of the times, and exemplarily constructs the form of contemporary urban fiction. How the carnival of individualism inherits the nothingness of the shattered dreams of the times is the spiritual history of a generation of literary and artistic youth.

Also dealing with spiritual difficulties, Li Qingyuan opened another path of "seeking the wilderness". The short story "Asking for Wild" searches for a remedy in the trough of the history of civilization during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and carefully discerns the polyphony and harmony of human nature in the depths of the dense forest of history. "We are all people who are bound by the times", when the Chinese Langzhong meets the Japanese medical officer, the advantages of the evolution of Western modernity are met with the resistance of the people, and the order of civilization and barbarism has been meaningfully reversed. "To see another China", how the main body of Chinese civilization bypasses the mountains and rivers at a moment of remnant, Li Qingyuan provides a subtle and multi-meaning text presentation.

Writing from reading and writing measured by footsteps, New Year's columnists present different aspects of magazine prose writing. If Liu Wenfei's reinterpretation of Dostoevsky and Jing Wendong's divergent whimsy of the word "heart" in the Chinese and Western contexts have raised the aesthetic and cognitive height of intellectual essays; the ecological literature column "The Matter of the Earth", Li Jingze's theoretical interpretation and the royal family's text writing have expanded the horizon of contemporary literary feelings and experiences.
