After overnight fame and endless glory, where have those writers who make us crazy gone? Are they okay? Have you lived the expected life yet? Wang Ruoxu, born in 1984, was a firsthand witness to this literary frenzy. In his 190000 word novel "Fanaticism", he portrayed three young people whose fate was changed by a writing competition at the turn of the century. The three of them became acquainted in 2000, and in the following decade, they influenced and interacted with each other, serving as background plates for each other, thus showcasing three levels of the "post-80s literary frenzy period".

At the 25th International Film Festival, there was a very eye-catching performance of love and marriage between middle-aged and elderly people in "I Love You". 63 year old Hui Yinghong and 60 year old Ye Tong played the female lead, together with Ni Dahong and Liang Jiahui, portraying the love pursuit and perseverance of middle-aged and elderly people in the entanglement of aging and disease. I am delighted to see middle-aged and elderly actresses as the main characters on the big screen. This phenomenon has been rare in recent years. Last year, the collaboration between Wu Yanshu and Xi Meijuan in "Mom!" also featured strong female lead roles, adding attention to the middle-aged and elderly population to the current Chinese screen. Especially for Wu Yanshu, an elderly woman born in 1938, her performances are meticulous and profound, whether she plays the rural grandmother who has been with her husband for a lifetime in "Love and Family" or the Chinese foster mother who went to Japan to find her adopted daughter in "See Nara Again"

"Prose is not like a violin, nor is it like a piano. It is most like a cello. Its voice is the voice of life, not high in the clouds, but low, deep, and elegant." On June 17th, writer Mei Zihan brought his collection of humanistic essays "Green Light" to the "Jing'an Lecture Hall" hosted by the Jing'an District Library and the Jing'an District Writers Association, sharing his creative journey and the warmth flowing in life. When it comes to radiance, people's impression is usually warm and yellow, while what Mei Zihan wrote was green radiance. What I write is all about small things in life.

After "The Epic of Pudong," "The Revolutionary," "The First Time," and "Shanghai Expression," He Jianming, a leading figure in Chinese reportage literature and director of the Reportage Literature Committee of the Chinese Writers Association, wrote another documentary literary masterpiece about Shanghai, "My Heart Flying," which premiered at the flagship store of Duoyun Academy on the afternoon of the 18th.

He Jianming's on-site interviews and genuine records provide a panoramic portrayal of Chinese chip developers and pioneers overcoming difficulties
