"Jia Li in Junior High" has long been acclaimed as China’s first humorous coming-of-age novel. The book inherits Mark Twain’s style of witty humor and demonstrates Qin Wenjun’s artistic talents, in addition to her philosophy: to write about the young and for the young. A beloved bestseller for decades, the novel has been engraved in the memories of generations of adolescents. And now, in celebration the 30-year-old birthday of the novel, Shanghai Translation Publishing House brings the story of Jia Li in primary school to all young readers, exclusively handed by Qin. In this lastest work, we can feel Qin's kindness, wisdom, humour and sincerity as always. Qin's writing from a child's perspective, combing with her humorous language style, creates a special artistic beauty. She talks about the eternal theme of human growth, yet sets up so many colour expressions of such a serious theme, shedding a childlike playful glow on mundane school life.
