Our Construction

Our Construction is a collection edited by Tian Guosheng and published by Haitian Publishing House. The book gathers outstanding essays by students of Shenzhen Middle School on the theme of "construction," showcasing contemporary young people's diverse reflections on self, society, and the future. As a compilation of educational achievements, its value lies not only in the writing itself but also in offering a window into the thinking patterns and expressive abilities of students at one of China's top secondary schools. The essays cover a wide range of subjects, from personal growth and family relationships to technological ethics and urban development, reflecting the students' tentative constructions around relatively open topics. These writings may not yet be polished in literary technique, but the breadth of their thinking, the courage to attempt expression, and the problem awareness revealed between the lines are precisely what make this book most valuable. For readers concerned with education and the intellectual currents among young people, this is a rare primary source. When reading, it is advisable to focus on observing the younger generation's cognitive frameworks, value concerns, and distinctive modes of expression rather than judging them by mature literary standards. It is more like a mirror, reflecting the spiritual landscape of some outstanding students within a particular educational environment.
