Yu Hua said that the best literary magazine in China in his heart is Harvest!
And my favorite is "Harvest"!
So today, I have found this set of old classic group purchase benefits for everyone, fans who like literature reading can take a look.
A shorthand version of contemporary Chinese literature
"Harvest" / "Harvest Novel"
The original price of "Harvest" is 180 yuan/year, and the current price is 165.5 yuan/year
The original price of "Harvest Novel" is 220 yuan / year, and the current price is 192 yuan / year
In an era of entertainment to death, literature should have stood up a long time ago.
And an old classic like "Harvest" has also been precipitated for too long.
It used to be very slow, slow for cars, horses, and mail. We need a long wait, a period of years and a book. The day I got the book, it was like seeing my sweetheart, the joy was indescribable, and it was very precious!
But in fact, when I got "Harvest" again, I was still so happy and satisfied.
Literature can brighten up life.
The life of ordinary people is always trivial and ordinary, and literature is like a flower that suddenly blooms in front of you one morning, or a strawberry on a cake, which makes ordinary life bright.
I believe that many people still like me to turn books - I like to listen to the sound of the wind stirring the pages, like to smell the fragrance of ink when I open the book, and like to see the soul of words beating on the paper......
The so-called reading a good book is like tasting tea, leaving a fragrance at the corner of the mouth, refreshing people's hearts. Those classic books that have crossed the long river of time, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and still shined in the forest of literature are always worth reading repeatedly, and "Harvest" is such a periodical!
Founded in 1957, Harvest is a literary feast for readers, mainly publishing short, medium and long novels, as well as dramas, film literature, reportage and other themes. Founded for many years, it has published a large number of important works in the history of contemporary literature, such as "Teahouse", "Activity Becomes Human", "Divine Whip", "Alive" and "Prosperous", which is known as a shorthand of contemporary Chinese literature and a pure literary journal with great influence in China!
01
Ace journal of Chinese literature
It is one of the two ace publications in China.
The national literary journal has "Harvest" in the south and "People's Literature" in the north!
"Harvest" was founded in 1957 by Mr. Ba Jin and Mr. Leyi. It is the first large-scale bimonthly literary magazine in China after 1949, and it is also a representative magazine of contemporary Chinese literature, and it is also one of the "Four Famous Dans" with a long reputation among the national pure literary periodicals.
Sixty-six times the tide rises and falls, and sixty-six times spring and autumn. Harvest magazine has been in its 66th year. Over the past 66 years, we have insisted on not publishing advertisements and only publishing pure literature, providing the best spiritual food for readers of Chinese literature, and becoming a well-deserved "shorthand version of contemporary Chinese literature".
Since its inception, the magazine has also won numerous awards——
Some people say that "Harvest" is a shorthand version of the history of contemporary Chinese literature, and opening the history of contemporary literature will definitely open "Harvest".
Why is it so high?

It can be said that almost all the influential writers in the history of contemporary Chinese literature have something to do with "Harvest" - Bingxin, Feng Jicai, Yu Guangzhong, Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, Wang Shuo, Yu Hua, Ma Yuan, Wang Anyi, Jin Yucheng, Sun Ganlu, etc., all of whom are literary masters.
Almost all of Yu Hua's important works were published in "Harvest", as did Su Tong and Wang Anyi. It can be seen that its literary influence is huge!
Even before the Cultural Revolution, Lao She's "Teahouse", Liu Qing's "History of Entrepreneurship", and Jin Jingmai's "Song of Ouyang Hai" were all published in "Harvest", which was also a work that influenced a whole generation.
Therefore, it is not only a shorthand for contemporary Chinese literature, but also a gathering place for contemporary young writers!
For example, in the first issue of 2024, we can all see writer Yu Haoyan's "Sky Carrier", Shu Jie's "River Under the Eagle's Wings", and Yang Mu's "Three Plants in the North and South......
For so many years, magazines never advertised, only good literary works. Regardless of whether there are famous writers or unknown writers, they all talk about their works, and only when the works are good will they be included!
Su Tongdu once said that maybe nine and a half out of ten writers would feel that they would not dare to give it a poorly written manuscript. It would rather publish good manuscripts from unknown writers than bad manuscripts from well-known authors. In magazines, you'll only see boutiques!
So whether it's for your children or for yourself, there must be a copy of "Harvest" on the bookshelf at home!

The reason why novels are always read is because people who grow up in stories never lose their desire for stories, no matter what kind of life they live.
In addition to "Harvest", we also have "Harvest Novel" today.

Novels are the same as Harvest, there are a lot of writers who have submitted, but the difference is that "Harvest Novels" is published with popular novels that have been popular in the past 2 years.
In the past two years, new works by writers such as Yu Hua, Jia Pingwa, and Xu Zhiyuan have been published here.
It's like a new news station in the fiction world, selecting the most popular high-quality novels in the near future, and one can be worth many single books.
For literature, we still maintain a solid and permanent hope and expectation. In the end, literary journals still have to use the text to speak, and they must use the work to face the reader.
