| Mr Han Han, Editor in Chief |
A butterfly can cause a gust of wind, a soldier can start a war, a magazine may not do anything, but art is the fish that you need to spend a lifetime to catch. The ‘Solo Group’ is finally coming, and everything has just been started. Each of you is an irreplaceable voice of ‘Solo Group’, and the true world is the world that you have looked through by yourselves.
------Han Han, Editor in Chief of ‘Party’ (‘Solo Group’)
Though the magazine does have an official English name, Party, I would like to translate it directly to ’the Solo Group’, which is an interesting contradiction. Maybe the editor wanted his audience to define the world on their own. This magazine is not about fashion or motors, which are usually the best sellers. It is only a magazine of literature and art.

| a Poster of the Magazine |
Han Han, a professional auto racer, author, as well as a social commentator, works as the editor in chief of the magazine. As a spiritual leader of Chinese young people, his magazine successfully drew the attention of the entire Chinese society before it is published on July 6th, 2010. I was attracted by the advertising poster of the magazine at first. Using blue and white, the poster simply contains some little symbols of actions, which I think mean that you can live a happier life with the magazine.
The cover design is even more special, from simple to simplest. It is made of Kraft which provides a feeling of old-fashioned. All the words are typed at the bottom of the cover, and are crowded together, forming a dark shape. Once the magazine is put on a bookshelf, it looks so different from any other colorful ones, telling viewers that it is more meaningful.
The magazine is mainly consisted of prose, but some photographs and comics are chosen as well. Anyway, it is worth reading if you really like literature and understand Chinese.
