As a monumental work brimming with a century's worth of memories, the "Centennial Collection of Chinese Children's Films" made its official debut at a book fair in Beijing.  

Published by Guizhou People's Publishing House, this book offers a panoramic view of the diverse explorations in Chinese children's films through more than twenty categories, ranging from war, environmental protection, science fiction, history and family affection to children's psychological growth and the lives of ethnic minority groups.

Comprising four volumes, it systematically reviews over 1,300 Chinese feature films themed around children and adolescents produced from 1922, when China's first children's feature film, "A Naughty Kid," was released, up until 2022, covering a full hundred years.

Some of these materials are being presented to readers for the first time, filling a crucial gap in the industry and providing invaluable visual and textual resources for practitioners, researchers and educators in the field of children's and adolescent films.

The editorial team brought together top-tier professionals from the industry, ensuring the authority and historical value of the content, including Yu Lan, a renowned film actress best known for her portrayal of revolutionary martyr Jiang Jie in the film "Eternal Life in the Flames (Red Crag)." She also served as the first president of the China Children's Film Studio.
