Despite the literary control and strictures to limit subjects to contemporary China and the glories of the revolution, writers produced widely read novels of energy and commitment. Examples of this new socialist literature include "The Builder" (Chuangye Shi 創業史) by Liu Qing 柳青, "The Song of Youth" (Qing Chun Zhi Ge 青春之歌) by Yang Mo, "Tracks in the Snowy Forest" (Lin Hai Xue Yuan 林海雪原) by Qu Bo, "Keep the Red Flag Flying" (Hong Qi Pu 紅旗譜) by Liang Bin 梁斌, "The Red Sun" (Hong Ri 紅日) by Wu Qiang 吳強, and "Red Crag" by Luo Guangbin 羅廣斌 and Yang Yiyan (楊益言).
