Both the content and binding and layout are eye-catching： excerpts from masterpieces of top ten contemporary Chinese writers， thin and light pocketbooks suitable for fragmented reading， a variety of genres for readers of different ages， splendid talks by writers on creativity， opinions and comments by critics， exquisite thread binding on naked spines to give readers 180-degree flat reading experience， elegant environmentally friendly imported silk floss colored paper covers， pure high-end fine sandpaper sheath， and laser signature of high collective value.

Classical literary works are what can best represent an era. They can serve for revealing historical laws， as well as promoting social justice. In a word， they are classics that carry human aesthetic and moral values. However， it has become a luxury to read a classic in its entirety in today's society featuring an information explosion. As based on the \"new era\"， the newly rolled out collection themed \"China in Literature · Contemporary Classics\" aims to promote excellent contemporary literary works of different genres created since the founding of the PRC， catering to a modern society with ideological significance.

The series adheres to a reading concept of being \"small and beautiful， of new nourishment， light reading， and enjoying classics\"， conveying a serious， massive amount of content in a flimsy form， leading readers to selectively read famous works， and then familiarizing themselves with the writers' literary thoughts as a whole by giving a glimpse of their masterpieces.
