The third army corps
Zhang Zhilu, a famous writer of children's literature, won the second National Excellent Children's Literature Award, and 1992 was recommended by IBBY International Youth Reading Alliance (Andersen Prize awarding organization).
The Third Army Corps adopted the strategy of "wanting to promote first, restraining first, and wanting to reveal and hide" in its expression techniques. The shadowy actions of the Third Army not only create a sense of deterrence for the bad guys and evil forces in the works, but also set a strong suspense for the readers. At the same time, the basic spirit and artistic perspective of the work are realistic, but it is quite ideal, romantic and magical in concrete performance, which combines realistic thinking and romantic passion and shapes several idealized images of young wonders. So, if you win the third army, you will probably have to stop and watch it all at once. Recommended age: over 9 years old.

See you for three days.
This is an autobiography. The author of this book is a girl who is born invisible, deaf and speechless. She finally got a degree from Harvard and shocked the world in international forums with voices she couldn't hear. This is Helen Keller.
This book made me cry, but what I got from Helen Keller was a kind of strength! What a great power this is! Stubborn, persistent, loving life, loving life, making progress in difficulties ... I don't know how to describe it in words (maybe I'm too stupid), but I know that this is the strength that a person pays to achieve an impossible goal in the eyes of others. As Mark Twain said, "There were two strange people in the19th century, one was Napoleon and the other was Helen Keller." Helen Keller has grown from a spoiled little girl to a great person. This book is telling the great story of19th century. (Hong Nini) Recommended age: over 9 years old.

The winner obviously thinks that his literary achievements are even higher than other candidate literary works.
Mr. Yu Dafu once praised Long Fang's writing skills. He said: "Long Fang's pen has a kind of magic, but it is not his special creation. Talking about science is just a writer's technique. " Long Fang's magic pen once fascinated several generations of China literati. Reading Long Fang's works is definitely a pleasure. Recommended age: 9-99 years old.
