Features: Dedicated to the beloved people's writer Ba Jin. As early as 1940, literary critic Wang Renshu (Ba Ren) said, "Regardless of anything else, Ba Jin is a great presence in China's literary world." For many years, people have been reading, discussing, and continuously pursuing the stories of Ba Jin.
I have honestly walked through my life, sometimes moving forward, sometimes retreating, sometimes walking fast, and sometimes slow. Whether in life or in writing, I have always treated myself seriously. I have deceived myself and, as a result, loved the punishment. I have never played with life or beautified it. I think, I explore, I pursue. In the end, I realized that the meaning of life lies in dedication, not in enjoyment.
To live is precisely to add a touch of brilliance to the society we live in. This is something we can achieve because each of us has more love, more compassion, more energy, and more time than what is needed to maintain our individual existence. When we spend these on others, our lives will flourish; otherwise, we will wither and die. – Ba Jin
