Many people may ask, "what is new urban fiction?" In fact,although Chinese literature has flourished after the country embarked on reform and opening, only a small percentage of thevast number of literary works touch on the life of urban whitecollars who are the driving force of todays cities. These youngpeople and student-turned entrepreneurs live a colorful life inShanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities, but they look palein many fictions. In that sense, our literature has to reflect a constantly changing society.All the works contained in this book are prize-winning "newurban fiction" stories selected by Shanghai Wave a literary andlife magazine followed the style of New Yorker for Chinese whitecollars, in recent two years.Reading these unique and vivid stories, we can feel that theseoffice workers, no matter where they are, at home or in office, in abar or a cafG have inner conflict under a placid countenance. Theirpains and struggle are beyond many peoples imagination andtheir pursuit of success and true love is not well understood andaccepted. The life of urban white-collars is as colorful as is theirinner world. This perhaps is the main feature of todays Chinesecity life.
