Abstract
Juvenile detective fiction serves as an excellent quality education read, satisfying children’s curiosity, enhancing their logical thinking, and improving their observational, analytical, and reasoning abilities. It also subtly shapes their sense of justice and moral values. Xie Xin has a particular fondness for this genre, having created multiple series, including The After-School Detective Group, Detective Little Duqi, The Mythical Beast Boys, Octopus Brother Police Station, Roc Kingdom: Magic Detective, and Let’s Deduce! Comic Boy. His works embody the “Four Dimensions” of creation—depth, warmth, strength, and restraint. Compared to Western and Japanese juvenile detective fiction, he holds Chinese juvenile detective novels should focus on the creation of “masculine literature,” catering to the reading abilities and aesthetic standards of young readers. Mr. Xie calls for more like-minded individuals to devote themselves to Chinese detective fiction, conduct in-depth research, follow the correct creative direction and pass on the flame of “Chinese detective fiction.”
