'This Generation' literature series

This cross-Straits joint-publishing project features nine volumes of novels or short story and novella collections by nine writers from both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. This literature series highlight writers of "this generation", born in and after the late 1960s, as opposed to the reality where the literary scenes of both sides of the Straits are dominated by writers born in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Writers from the mainland include Mao Dun Literature Prize winner Bi Feiyu, acclaimed author Li Er, representative of the post-1970 writer Xu Zechen and female writers Sheng Keyi and Wei Wei. Their counterparts from Taiwan include Hakka writer Gan Yaoming, queer fiction writer Ji Dawei and female writers Hao Yuxiang and Zhong Wenyin.
