The article begins:

Stories and poems on love written by well-known authors, Chinese and
foreign, ancient and contemporary, have been added to middle school
textbooks in a special unit titled "love is like a song," an unprecedented
endeavor in this east China metropolis.

Students in more than 50 Shanghai-based middle schools will use the new
textbooks while taking Chinese courses in the new semester starting on
September 1.

Three stories and four poems were added, including love poems by Russian
poet Pushkin, excerpts from Jane Eyre by noted British novelist Charlotte
Bronte and Chinese love classics written by ancient and contemporary
Chinese writers such as Qin Guan, Su Tong and Shu Ting.
