Chen Taiyong, editor of the upstream news and culture channel, said that the column will be launched every other Wednesday, and 24 articles have been published so far. The interviewees of the channel are all future stars of Chongqing literature, and their creations involve poetry, prose, novels, children's literature, science fiction, literary criticism and many other fields. At present, the highest number of readings of a single article is "The Writer Who Doesn't Go Crazy and Can't Live Without Crazy" by Li Haobai, which has been read more than 560,000 times.

The creator class is a station on the road of life. At the opening ceremony, Zhang Bing, vice chairman of the Chongqing Writers Association and dean of the Chongqing Academy of Literature, said that the School of Literature, as a waiter at the station, hopes that all the creators can stop at the station, replenish their energy, learn knowledge, drink some tea, chat, and keep climbing to the peak of literature.
Zhang Bing also put forward his own expectations for the new generation of creators. "First, we must study with an open mind. Second, they must be diligent in their creation, because all the aura in literature comes from diligent writing; third, they must understand the situation, as a creator, no matter where they are, they must have a high vision; fourth, they must participate in more activities, no matter how developed the Internet is, face-to-face communication is always irreplaceable. ”
