Features: "Life begins at eighty," Bing Xin wrote millions of words in her later years, including short stories. This is a continuation of the "problem novels" of the May Fourth period, with each story addressing pressing social issues. Mingzi and Mizi explores communication and care between humans and animals. Interference criticizes the arbitrary interference of children in their parents' late-life romance. These problem novels of the new era brought Bing Xin, the centenarian writer, newfound fame. Empty Nest won the 1980 National Excellent Short Story Award. It marked a perfect conclusion to Bing Xin's 70-year career in short story writing.
