Selected Works of Zhang Yiping

Literary works are a kind of art that creates images to reflect social life and express the authors” thoughts and feelings by means of language. They are also a mirror for us. With a great enlightenment on our life, they can broaden our vision, increase our knowledge and cultivate our sentiment. Literary masters are pioneers of an era and integrators of various literary forms. Their works come from the era they live in, record the epitome of social life in that era, contain the writers” own experience and thoughts of the society and life, affect the development process of the society, and possess eternal charm. They are our soul engineers that can guide our life development, give us chicken-soup-like spiritual nourishment. This is just as Tagore said when talking about the relationship between literature and the future of mankind, "to light the lights in a myriad of families in the future with literature."
