Features: With a pure heart, Bing Xin created a large number of poems, essays, and novels. Her writing is elegant, her imagery profound, and her thoughts pure, making her work endearing, approachable, and admirable. I asked the elderly Bing Xin to summarize her works, and she said, "My works contain sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and spiciness. 'Sweetness' refers to To Young Readers, which I wrote intermittently for nearly six decades starting from the age of 23. 'Sourness' is represented by Division, which came from my observation of class distinctions in social life. 'Bitterness' is the Cultural Revolution, and 'spiciness' refers to works like All Are Inferior from the past decade."
