The Today Literary Magazine Archive is a collection of materials relating to the Today Literary Magazine over the last thirty years. These materials include manuscripts, proof-read copies, illustrations, letters from readers, photographs and videotapes of activities, newspaper cuttings, and books (essay collections and poetic anthologies) and magazines published in the late 70’s and early 80’s by institutions of higher learning in Mainland China. They are extremely valuable and are an important source for research on modern Chinese literature and poetry, especially on the changes and developments in modern poetry in Mainland China. This Archive is a generous donation by the publisher of the Today Literary Magazine and its chief editor Mr. Bei Dao who have entrusted to the City University of Hong Kong Library the safe custody of the materials for posterity. We in the Library are indeed greatly honoured and hereby put on record our deepest appreciation and gratitude to the donors. We further hope other publishers and writers will similarly support the preservation of literary materials, so as to facilitate research by other scholars and to jointly promote original writing and freedom of expression and publication.
