Features: At the age of a hundred, Ba Jin was an outstanding writer with over seventy years of writing career, an excellent translator, and a dedicated editor, publisher, and fighter who tirelessly pursued human equality, freedom, happiness, and the prosperity of his motherland. He was also a witness and chronicler of the 20th century, sharing the same journey with the era. He was a thinker deeply rooted in conscience and responsibility, an explorer who endured hardships and twists, and an ordinary, kind-hearted, and pure-souled person. This book provides a concise chronological account of Ba Jin's life and literary activities, divided into three parts and nine chapters. It includes several illustrations to enhance readers' visual understanding of the facts described. The book divides Ba Jin's century-long life journey across the centuries into three major periods: 1904–1943 (Struggling Against Turbulent Currents), 1944–1978 (Crossing Mountains and Rubble), and 1979–Present (Flowing Towards the Sea), with 1944 and 1979 as the dividing lines. It holds both academic value for literary and artistic research and unique appreciation value, making it a rare and valuable collectible for Ba Jin enthusiasts!
