1951年春,中国作家协会继《人民文艺丛书》之后,由开明书店出版了一套《新文学选集》。这套选集由茅盾主编,第一、二辑共收人郭沫若等“五四”以来作家24人。其中有作家本人自选的,也有约请专人代为编选的。叶老是我国新文学的泰斗。是“五四”以来著名的文学研究会的创始人之一。他的作品理所当然是选编的重要对象,但是叶老很谦虚,他总觉得自己的作品已经编辑出版过 In the spring of 1951, following the publication of People’s Literature Series, the Writers Association of China published a collection of Selected New Literatures by Kaiming Bookstore. This collection is edited by Mao Dun, the first and second series received a total of 24 writers such as Guo Mo-ju and other “May Fourth” writers. Among them are the writer’s own choice, but also about the appointment of someone on behalf of the compilation. Ye is always a leading modern Chinese literature. It is one of the founders of the famous literary research conference since the May 4th Movement. His work is of course an important object of his selection, but Yeh is very humble and always feels that his work has been edited and published
