People in Jianghu

This anthology contains Han Shaogong's main works, accounting for about 70-80% of the total published works. Taking advantage of this publication opportunity, the author revised some of the works. The situations involved can be roughly divided into three types: one is restorative. Since the late 1970s, publishing censorship standards in mainland China have been gradually relaxed, and authors' autonomy was not very sufficient at the beginning. Sometimes, especially in the early days of the literary thaw, some newspaper editors, out of some scruples, often force authors to make major deletions and changes, and even go so far as to do it directly - not including accidental cuts when there is not enough space. The 70% discount when these works were published was not the author's wish. Today, it seems to be a historical regret and they should be restored to their original appearance if possible. The second is explanatory. The rapid changes in China's real life have brought about frequent changes in public context. Some common terms used ten or twenty years ago, such as "four types of elements", "production team", "commune", "work points" and "family composition", etc., Are now confusing to many people. Common names of certain periods such as "Big Brother" and "Zhenliang" will cause reading difficulties for future generations if they are continued to be retained. In order to facilitate intergenerational communication, some outdated terms have been appropriately changed, or explanatory text has been slightly added while retaining the original text. The third is remedial.
