What kind of literature is the editorial circle of frontline writers | editors | writers
A writer embarking on a literary career and entering the literary circle cannot do without the guidance of editors. Sometimes, writers and editors are two coexisting identities and two interconnected groups. Writers can also be editors, and editors can also be writers. They sympathize with each other and achieve success. However, readers are often more familiar with the authors and have limited knowledge of the editorial community that drives literary trends.
Writer, poet, and Lu Xun Literature Award winner Chen Cang hopes to change this situation. As one of the editors in chief of "They and They: Editors in the Eyes of Writers", he recently shared "My Editor's Moments" with readers at Yueyue Bookstore with Fu Yuehui, the director of the editorial department of "Shanghai Literature" and a young writer, and talked about the interaction stories between editors and writers.

"You can use this book as a guidebook for writers and editors to interact with, and a submission guide for literary enthusiasts, which may be the practical significance of our writing this book." Chen Cang introduced, "Writers can shine on the path of literature when they encounter the right editors at the right time. We invited 60 frontline writers to write impressions of 43 contemporary Chinese famous magazines' editors, such as Cheng Yongxin, editor in chief of" Harvest ", Fu Xiuying, editor in chief of" Selected Long Novels ", and Zhu Hui, editor in chief of" Yuhua ", hoping to help readers establish a more three-dimensional impression of the editing community and understand the behind the birth of literary works."

Fu Yuehui, who is both a young writer and an editor, tells readers through his own experience that good editors play a role in supervising and guiding the growth of writers. "The relationship between editors and writers is purely literary. No matter how the times develop, people always need literature, so they always need writers and editors. The writers on the cover and the editors on the copyright page together constitute the literary circle that people yearn for."
The book "They and They: Editors in the Eyes of Writers" released by Shanghai Far East Publishing House adopts a unique perspective of "everyone writes everyone", allowing readers to follow the author's pen and touch the editor's work style, down-to-earth life, and gentle attitude. The characters included all have dual identities as editors and cultural masters, not only witnesses to the history of contemporary Chinese literature, but also promoters of cultural prosperity and development. The literary life and artistic experiences they discuss have special significance for readers.
