"At the age of 70, it is an ancient and rare year for people, and it is a prime year for trees, and 'Red Rock' is an evergreen literary tree in my heart." Zhang Liao, a former reporter and novelist at Chongqing Morning Post, said that it was "Red Rock" that made her associate with literature, "When I was in the second and third grades of primary school, one day my father was very excited to get back a publication, which was the newly published "Red Rock" that he had queued up at the Liberation Monument to buy back, and published "Xu Mao and His Daughters". My parents rushed to see it, and they all looked at it with tears in their eyes and gave me a careful explanation.
"Since then, I have liked to read magazines, and then I have read more and began to write, and once I had the courage to submit a manuscript, but I did not expect to receive a reply from Red Rock soon, saying that my novel was not bad and I kept it." Zhang Saidao smiled and said that seeing his novel published in Red Rock felt like a dream.
Since its inception in October 1951, Hongyan has published a total of 242 issues, published 77 million words, launched a large number of accomplished writers and poets such as Peng Jingfeng, Gao Miao, Zhou Keqin, Huang Jiren, Ye Xin, Li Yiqing, Fu Tianlin, Li Gang, Li Yuansheng, etc., and published important literary works such as "When Lusheng Sounded", "Daji and His Father", "Xu Mao and His Daughters", "Chongqing Negotiations", "Shan bar ye" and so on.
Ouyang Bin, deputy editor-in-chief of Hongyan Literature Magazine, said that the 70 years since its inception are both a historical node and a starting point for the future. In the future, "Red Rock" will, as always, adhere to the principle of basing itself on the locality and facing the whole country, displaying the achievements of Chongqing's literary creation, cultivating local writers in Chongqing, and accumulating chongqing's local culture, and helping Chongqing and the country's literary undertakings to prosper and develop.
