The spring dreams of China's young writersPosted by Eric Mu, June 25, 2004 6:50 PM
 The June 21 issue of Sanlian Life Weekly features a cover story about young authors. The coverline is: The literary spring dreams of young men and women. The article introduces six young writers who all participated in Mengya magazine, a literary publication with a history dating back to before 1949. Mengya runs a highly-respected writing competition called 'New Concept' open high school students. The winner is able to go straight to university without attending entrance examinations.
