Features: In the 1950s and 1960s, Bing Xin devoted her main efforts to children's literature, hoping to nurture the flowers of the new China into more honest, courageous, and noble children. Entering the 1980s, Bing Xin presented herself with greater passion and intensity, reflecting on history and critiquing the era, completing the heart history of a century of Chinese intellectuals with her sincere memories and hopes. From this selected collection of Bing Xin's essays since the new period, it is not difficult to see that whether it is the sincere and profound "Family Bonds · Memories," the thought-provoking "Reflections · Insights," or the deeply affectionate "Reminiscences · Longing," they all embody the essence of literature that "expresses oneself—creativity, individuality, naturalness, uncharted paths, filled with special emotions and interests, laughter and tears from the heart." In summary, it all boils down to the word "truth." With "true" emotions and "true" love, there can be "true" literature, and "truth" is the soul of the essay.
