I love when they get hurt in easily preventable situations or because of shoddy workmanship.

Or when they shit talk Winnie the Xi-poo.

What genres are you interested in?

I mainly read literary classics and philosophy/politics but I'd say I'm just interested in knowing more about good chinese writers and works, then reading them

If you don't have a more specific request no one's going to be able to tell you much that you wouldn't get from a 2 second google search then. Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mencius, etc., whatever. If you're looking for a Japan-style imitation of the Western 19th/20th-century novel, it doesn't exist in China.

Cultural revolution, followed by utilitarian educational priorities in the post Cold War era.

[Anonymous No.23126659]

'Family' by Ba Jin (Pa Chin) is simply a great novel and a great intro to the 20th century in China.
Mo Yan is fun, offers good cultural perspective
Ma Jian is wholesome, lucid, fresh
Lu Xun's short stories are a must-read at some point
