Features: Li Shu, the nephew of Ba Jin, worked as his secretary for several years, taking numerous photographs until Ba Jin's passing. He personally experienced the little-known stories between the elderly Ba Jin and his family and friends, recording his life and creative work for more than 30 years since the late Cultural Revolution from a unique perspective. This allows readers to get close to the active mind and later life of a lovable old man. What we see is not only a noble, serene, and transcendent soul, but also a century-old man constantly tormented by illness, often enduring the pain of losing loved ones alone, yet still carrying a flame in his heart. This book includes over 200 photographs of the married Ba Jin, most of which are being shown to readers for the first time and are extremely precious. The book is divided into five sections: The Faithful Old Ba Jin, The lovable Old Ba Jin, Old Ba Jin and His Dearest Family, and Old Ba Jin and His Indispensable Friends.
