Abstract

The article deals with the development of fiction of Northeast China (Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces) at the beginning of the 21st century. The North-East is the closest region of China to Russia, and by getting acquainted with local literature we can learn more about it. The names and titles of the works of local writers are indicated, which is valuable information due to the lack of research on this theme. The author distinguishes three main directions in the literature of the region, characteristic for the beginning of the XXI century, considers the themes that writers raise in their works. Literary life of the region is shown. The article lists literary awards, which were presented to the writers of the North-East. Among them there are not only regional awards, but also awards of all-Chinese significance. The author notes that in 2008 there was a surge in literary creativity associated with the anniversary dates (the anniversary of the PRC, the thirtieth anniversary of the reforms), also indicates the predominance of «key» works in the Northeast relative to other regions of the country. Attention is drawn to a new phenomenon, such as network literature. It is concluded that the beginning of this century was a successful and productive period in the work of local writers.
