In the history of modern literature in China, first of all, you should take a look at the designated textbooks of the schools you apply for, and the textbooks are the most important. The most commonly used textbooks in the history of modern literature in China are two sets of textbooks published by Peking University Publishing House and two sets of textbooks edited by Professor Qian Liqun and Professor Zhu Donglin. Then start reading literary works according to the number mentioned in the professional textbook. If you have time, you'd better read the work comprehensively. Furthermore, it would be better if you could get the student notes of the school you were admitted to. My classmate's postgraduate entrance examination is also a literature major. She is familiar with the assigned teaching materials and works, and she did well in the professional examinations. This is also related to the school's examination style. You'd better look at the real questions over the years, so as to grasp the review direction. Some schools have strict requirements for textbooks and teaching materials, while others are more free to play. After reading the test questions, you can review them in a targeted way. I hope it works for you.
