Features: Regardless of what we see in Ba Xianyong's novels, we can strongly feel his "compassion" behind the "phenomena" he presents. Moreover, when we step into Ba Xianyong's novel world enveloped by "compassion," sensing the heartbeat of his compassionate heart, we will unconsciously develop compassion for society and life in our hearts. "Compassion" may have negative or connotations in some people's dictionaries, but the premise of compassion is empathy, and the premise of empathy is love. Therefore, the compassionate sentiment embedded in Ba Xianyong's works that moves others and evokes compassion in them can essentially be traced back to his love—for society, for life, and for people—deep, persistent, and selfless.
