Writers' Bookstore (Zuojia Shuwu)

Writers' Bookstore (Zuojia Shuwu) was a bookstore and publishing house founded in Chongqing in 1942 and later moved to Shanghai. It mainly published progressive new literature, including works by Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun and Lao She as well as the "Children's Library" series, and served as the general distributor of Resistance Literature and Art. It became known for publishing the Complete Works of Lu Xun. The collection currently holds three titles, including Sun Fuyuan's Several Things About Mr. Lu Xun and Southwest Associated University College of Arts' Demonstrative Vernacular Texts of Southwest Associated University, covering documentary literature, prose and miscellaneous writings, and classic works. Several Things About Mr. Lu Xun recalls Lu Xun's words and deeds from a first-hand perspective and has both historical and literary value. Because public information is limited, its complete publishing catalogue and series context remain to be further verified.
