1: An excellent collection
I read an earlier edition of this book and was very impressed. Part of my MA thesis is on Lao She. My only complaint about this anthology is that it does not contain his novella, "Crescent Moon." This anthology is about 750 pages and includes most all of 20th century China, including Taiwan and a few non-Han Chinese authors. The selections are excellent and the stories are self-contained, i.e. they are short stories, poems, essays, or novellas, not extracted chapters. The spellings are pinyin, not Wade-Giles. I would highly recommend it to someone wanting a large pool of 20th century Chinese authors.

2: Great anthology
This anthology presents a superb cross section of Chinese literature, from the time of Lu Xun to the present. The editors have included works from the mainland, as well as Taiwan, and the scope of authors and genres is tremendous for a single volume. A good starting point for anyone interested in Chinese literature, as well as those already familiar with it.
