“我与半月刊的故事”征文启事发出后,得到基层读者的积极响应,先后收到各地投稿100多篇。去年12月初我们邀请部分作者来京参加基层作者座谈会。但是限于版面原因,许多佳作难以见刊,作为编辑我们也觉很是遗憾。此次集中了8篇,虽仍是九牛一毛,聊作对热情作者的一种回应。———本刊编辑部 After the essay notice of “The Story of Me and the Half Monthly” was issued, it received the positive response from the grassroots readers and successively received more than 100 submissions from all over the country. In early December last year, we invited some writers to come to Beijing to attend grassroots authors’ symposiums. However, due to layout reasons, many excellent works are hard to read. As an editor, we also feel very sorry. The concentration of 8, though still a verity, chatting as a response to enthusiastic authors. --- Editorial Department
