Features: Ba Jin (1904—2005), a master of modern Chinese literature, created and translated a total of 13 million words in his lifetime, from publishing his first publicly available article in 1921 to continuing his work on "In Memory of Zhen Diao" in February 1999. His literary works, such as the "Trilogy of Turbulent Currents" (Family, Spring, Autumn), the "Trilogy of Love" (Fog, Rain, Lightning), "Cold Night," "Restful Garden," "The Fourth Ward," and "Random Thoughts," have influenced generations of readers. On November 25, 2003, the State Council awarded Ba Jin the honorary title of "People's Writer." In contemporary China, the name Ba Jin is regarded as a symbol of the conscience and truth-telling of the 20th century, embodying the youth spirit and modernity of China in the 20th century. His works stand as a monumental achievement in Chinese literature and as a rich cultural heritage for all of humanity. This book selects 57 of Ba Jin's works, including the renowned essays such as "My Several Teachers," "In Memory of Xiao Shan," "Remembering Xiao Shan Again," "The Dream of the Sea," and "In Memory of Lu Xun," as well as the excellent short stories like "The Night in Marseille," "The Mute Triangle Guitar," and "The Revived Grass."
