Zhang Hongsen, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, said that "The Great Change in the Mountains and Villages" more than 60 years ago is a classic work that shines through the history of contemporary Chinese literature, and it is also a vivid practice of literary predecessors consciously going deep into life and taking root in the people.

Today, from this work, we can still truly feel the spiritual outlook of Chinese peasants in the drastic changes in history, the rich gift of social life to literature, and its great artistic charm.

　　"The Great Changes in the Mountains and Villages" is a literary fable of the great changes in the history of our nation and country.

The time when this great change began was when he (Zhou Libo) and his contemporaries struggled and wrote.

Today, to borrow a popular phrase on the Internet, it is "your hometown is as you wish".

　　[Explanation] It is reported that the "Creation Plan for Great Changes in Mountains and Townships in the New Era" is a long-term literary action. The first stage will start in 2022, and the initial period will be 5 years, which will be specifically undertaken by the Writers Publishing House.

Previously, the Chinese Writers Association has issued a call for papers, requiring that the genre of the works be original novels, and the content mainly shows the great changes in China's agriculture, rural areas, and farmers in the new era in terms of economy, life, and culture.

As of June 30, Writers Publishing House has received a total of 603 manuscripts, and 18 topics have been initially approved.
