Features: This book is one of the selected works of Ba Jin, including three novels: "The Dream of the Sea," "Autumn in Spring," and "Rest Garden." "The Dream of the Sea" tells the story of a woman named Nina through a narrative that praises the revolutionary youth and celebrates the resistance of people suffering from invasion; "Autumn in Spring" depicts the tragic love story between the female protagonist Zheng Peiyi and Lin, condemning the unreasonable old social system, unfree marriages, ideological constraints, family tyranny, and the destruction of young women in their prime; "Rest Garden" describes the life of the main character Yao Guodong and his family in Rest Garden, telling people that grand houses and beautiful gardens often change hands. Who has ever seen private property preserved for a hundred or several hundred years! What is preserved, in the eyes of some, are the most fragile and utterly empty things—ideals and beliefs.
