Description:

The early works of a writer mostly focus on themes of youth,because youth is the kindling of a person's spiritual fire.The tales of youth in literary works shed light on the passions and experiences of a generation.So some youth texts are not only literature.but also become interior portrayals of a generation.

Xie Youshun:
Splinters of glass gleam in our memories of more youthful times.flashing back vibrant hues of red,white and black,green,purple,blue,and yellow.Each time we fumbled about in youth,it also hurt.Yet wordless treasure lies beneath theose piles of glinting glass,awaiting expression and discovery.Nostalgically we recall our days of youth,as these powerful stories sensitively record younger days,earlier pain and blemishes washed by“spring rains”and time,to become deeply moving memories in our hearts.
