In the history of literature and publishing in China,there were two climaxes in the writing and publishing of "literary memoirs",namely,the peak of writing and publishing of autobiographies of writers in the 1930 s,and the wave of writing and publishing of memoirs by writers in the 1980 s.The rise of these two climaxes was closely related to the historical environment of China at that time and the development of the literary and publishing circles: In the 1930 s,as the transformation of the traditional publishing industry and the explosion of the May 4th Movement promoted the liberation of people's individuality,the "chemical reaction" between the two promoted the emergence of modern literature,various publishing organizations have planned and published a large number of autobiographies of writers,and caused a strong response.In the 1980 s,after a 10-years gloomy period,with the revival of the new literary tradition of the May 4th Movement,a group of old writers began to commemorate the return by writing memoirs.At the same time,"New Literature Historical Materials" magazine was launched,and it becoming one of the most significant magazines in the history of Chinese literature and even today.Some of the author's memoirs created and published at that time are still being reprinted to this day.These works are no longer just a writer's memoir,it's a literary classic.In the new century,the writing and publishing of literary memoirs are not as popular as these two climaxes,but their significance in the history of literature and publishing is still not to be underestimated.This paper investigates the publishing types of "literary memoirs" in China since the new century,and takes the case study of "literary memoirs" published by Guangdong People's Publisher in 2017.This paper investigates the planning,content,binding,marketing and sales of the literary memoirs,analyzes thecurrent market situation of the cultural publications in China and the significance and value of the publication of literary memoirs.
