【Content Introduction】

"The Shop of the Lin Family – A Deep Dive into Mao Dun" is a curated collection of Mao Dun's representative novellas, short stories, and essays. Mao Dun inherited and developed the realistic spirit of the "Life School" of the Literary Research Association during the May Fourth Movement, establishing a revolutionary realism literary model that was new at the time, and was the pioneer of "social analysis fiction." His novels are skilled at taking a broad view while focusing on small details, observing the larger era through ordinary people; many of his essays have been selected for national curriculum Chinese textbooks, such as "Skylight," "Beijing's Spring Festival," and "Ode to the Poplar." This book includes his famous novel "The Shop of the Lin Family," "Spring Silkworms" and "Autumn Harvest" from his "Rural Trilogy," and famous essays such as "Ode to the Poplar" and "Skylight."

This book is part of the second series of "One Book" titles. The "One Book" series aims to "understand a master through one book," creating a collection of selected works by modern and contemporary Chinese masters for students and young readers today. It breaks through genre boundaries, offering a new compilation format to provide readers with a new reading experience: content with substance, effective reading, and engaging presentation.

Mao Dun (1896-1981), born Shen Dehong, with the courtesy name Yanbing, was born in Wuzhen, Tongxiang, Zhejiang. Mao Dun was a highly representative and groundbreaking writer during the second decade of modern Chinese literature (1928-June 1937). In addition to his numerous achievements in literary theory and the translation and introduction of foreign literature, Mao Dun played a pivotal role in the field of novel writing—he was the most prominent novelist to completely transform the immature state of May Fourth-era novellas and long novels, leading them to perfection. His representative works include "Midnight," the "Eclipse" trilogy ("Disillusionment," "Vacillation," "Pursuit"), "The Shop of the Lin Family," and the "Rural Trilogy" ("Spring Silkworms," "Autumn Harvest," "Winter's Chill").
