Bing Xin (1900.10.05-1999.02.28), formerly known as Xie Wanying, took the pen name Bing Xin. It means "a piece of ice in the jade pot". His ancestral home is Hengling Village, Changle, Fuzhou, Fujian. Famous poet, writer, translator and children's writer. He used to be honorary chairman of the Central Committee of China Association for Promoting Democracy, vice chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, honorary chairman and consultant of Chinese Writers Association, and honorary director of China Translators Association. Adolescence: follow your father into school.

Bing Xin, 18 years old, mother, third brother19001kloc-0/0, was born in Fuzhou, a naval officer's family, with patriotism and reformism. Her father, Xie, participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and later founded the Naval School in Yantai as the principal. Bing Xin's boyhood was spent in men's clothing, riding horses, shooting in waves, on ships and in military camps. The humiliating history of the Chinese nation being bullied by foreign powers even inspired her patriotism.

Bing Xin moved to Shanghai with her family seven months after her birth. When I was 4 years old, I moved to Yantai, Shandong Province, and lived by the sea in Yantai for a long time. The sea has cultivated her temperament and broadened her mind; Her father's patriotism and ambition to strengthen the country also deeply influenced her young mind. One summer evening, Bing Xin and her father were walking on the beach together. On the beach, facing the rosy clouds in the sunset, Bing Xin asked his father to talk about the sea in Yantai. At this time, the father told his little daughter that there are many beautiful harbors along the northern coast of China, such as Ahava, Dalian and Qingdao, which are all beautiful, but they are all occupied by foreigners. "It doesn't belong to us in China" "Only Yantai belongs to us!" Father's words were deeply imprinted on young Bing Xin's mind. In Yantai, Bing Xin began to study. During her initial homeschooling, she came into contact with China's classical literature. At the age of seven, she had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. At the same time, I also read the "Shuo Bu Series" published by the Commercial Press, including the works of david copperfield, a famous British writer19th century critical realism. When reading "david copperfield" and "Poor David", he ran out of the abusive shopkeeper's house and went to menstruation's house. He was hungry, and Bing Xin shed tears and broke off the bun that his mother gave her as a snack.

After the Revolution of 1911, Bing Xin returned to Fuzhou with her father and lived in a big courtyard behind Wanxing Tongshi Store in Nanhou Street Yangqiao. Grandpa's big family lives here, and there are many couplets on the pillars at home, all written by Bing Xin's uncles. This house was originally the residence of Lin Juemin, one of the 72 martyrs in Huanghuagang. After the accident, the Lins were afraid of being punished, so they sold their house and took refuge in the countryside. The person who bought this house is Bing Xin's grandfather, Mr. Xie Shuen. Here, Bing Xin 19 12 was admitted to Fuzhou Women's Normal School, becoming the first girl in Xie's family to formally enroll.

19 13 years, his father Xie went to Beijing National Government as the director of the Military Science Division of the Navy Department. Bing Xin moved to Beijing with his father and lived in the top lane of Tieshizi Hutong. The following year, I entered Beiman Girls' Middle School (now BeijingNo. 166 Middle School), and 19 18 entered the pre-science course of Union Women's University, hoping to be a lifesaver.

Youth: Join the trend of patriotic student movement.

With the rise of the New Culture Movement and the outbreak of the May 4th Movement, Bing Xin closely linked her destiny with national rejuvenation. She devoted herself to the trend of the times and was selected as a student union document, so she joined the publicity unit of Beijing Women's Federation. Encouraged by the patriotic student movement, she published her first essay "Thoughts on the 21st Hearing" and her first novel "Two Families" in19/morning post in August. The latter first used the pen name "Bing Xin". Because the work directly involves major social issues, it will soon have an impact. Bing Xin said that it was the thunder of the May 4th Movement that "shocked" her writing. Later, he wrote "Problem Novels" such as When You Are Lonely, Helpless and Poor, Going to the Countryside, and Autumn Rain is Coming, which highlighted the destruction of human nature by feudal families, the fierce conflict between the two generations in the New World and the pain brought to the people by warlords. In the meantime, Concord Women's University merged into yenching university, and Bing Xin joined the famous literature research society as a young student. Under the banner of "for life", her creations flowed out continuously, and she published the novel Superman and the poem Stars and Springs that attracted the attention of critics, which aroused the response of social literary circles and thus promoted the writing trend of "short poems" in the early stage of new poetry.

Bing Xin's handwriting' Recalling the May 4th Movement'1979.3.21921year joined the Literature Research Association. At this time, his works mostly revolve around the three themes of maternal love, childlike innocence and nature, and construct the core of Bing Xin's thought-"the philosophy of love". Representative works include Superman, Boredom, Stars and Springs. I went to study in the United States and taught in the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University after returning home.

1923, Bing Xin won the Wellesley Women's University Scholarship with excellent results. Before and after studying abroad, she began to publish a series of communication essays with "To a Little Reader" as the general title, which became the cornerstone of children's literature in China. Bing Xin, who is in her early twenties, has become a minor celebrity in China's literary world.

Bing Xin met Wu Wenzao on President Jackson's cruise ship to America. Bing Xin studied for a degree in literature at the Institute of Wellesley Women's University, and Wu Wenzao studied sociology at Dartmouth College. By communicating with each other, they gradually deepened their understanding. /kloc-in the summer of 0/925, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao went to Cornell University to study French. The campus was beautiful and the environment was quiet, and they fell in love.

From 65438 to 0926, Bing Xin returned to China with a master's degree in literature, while Wu Wenzao continued to study for a doctorate in sociology at Columbia University. After returning to China, Bing Xin taught in yenching university, Beiping Women's College of Arts and Sciences, and Chinese Department of Tsinghua University.

After getting married and getting married, he continued to create many excellent works.

1On June 5th, 929, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao got married in Linhuxuan, yenching university, and Si Tuleideng presided over their wedding. After marriage, Bing Xin continued to write. Her works sincerely praise maternal love, childlike innocence and nature, but also reflect her careful observation of social inequality and life of different classes. Her pure and meaningful writing also reveals a little irony. The representative novels are Fen by 193 1 and Girl by 1933, and the excellent prose is 1933' s Return to the South-Mother's Soul in Heaven.

1932, Beixin Bookstore published the Complete Works of Bing Xin in three volumes (novel, prose and poem), which is the first complete works of modern literature in China. From 65438 to 0936, Bing Xin and her husband Wu Wenzao went to Europe and America for a year. They visited Japan, the United States, France, Britain, Italy, Germany, the Soviet Union and other places extensively. In Britain, Bing Xin had a dialogue with Woolf, a pioneer writer of stream-of-consciousness novels. They talked about literature and China while having afternoon tea.

From 65438 to 0938, Wu Wenzao and Bing Xin left Beiping with their children in the bonfire of the Anti-Japanese War, and went to Kunming, Yunnan, the rear area, via Shanghai and Hong Kong. Bing Xin once volunteered to teach in Chenggong Simple Normal School, and experienced the hardships and hardships brought by the war with the whole nation.

1940 moved to Chongqing and became a member of the National Political Council. Soon after, he joined the Anti-Enemy Association of China literary and art circles, enthusiastically engaged in cultural salvation activities, and wrote influential prose chapters such as About Women and Sending Young Readers Again.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, she went to Japan with her husband.

195 1 autumn, return to China. After writing about War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory in 1966, Bing Xin went to Japan with her husband and sociologist Wu Wenzao in1946+0/kloc-0. She lectured at the Japanese Oriental Society and the Department of Literature of Tokyo University, and was later hired by Tokyo University as the first foreign female professor to teach the course "China New Literature". During their stay in Japan, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao United and influenced overseas intellectuals under complicated conditions and actively engaged in patriotic, peaceful and progressive activities. As a loyal patriotic intellectual, Bing Xin inherited the fine tradition of China intellectuals. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and the pursuit of light will never stop. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, she had contact with Zhou Enlai and published an article in the progressive journal at his request. Zhou Enlai invited her to visit Yan 'an. Although she didn't succeed, their hearts were connected.

During the War of Liberation, Bing Xin refused to participate in the election of the "National Congress" and supported his relatives to go to the liberated areas.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, she lived in Japan, caring for the motherland, and resolutely supported Wu Wenzao's just move to get rid of the Kuomintang clique.

After the founding of New China, he returned to China to invest in various cultural undertakings.

Encouraged by the new situation of the founding of New China, Wu Wenzao and Bing Xin risked their lives to break through many obstacles and returned to the motherland on 195 1. Settled in Beijing from then on. Premier Zhou Enlai cordially received Wu Wenzao and Bing Xin, and affirmed and encouraged their patriotic behavior. Bing Xin felt the cheerful heart of the new China and devoted her energy to various cultural undertakings and international exchange activities in the motherland. During this period, she visited India, Myanmar, Switzerland, Japan, Egypt, Romania, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries to spread the friendship among people all over the world. At the same time, she published a large number of works, praising the new life of the motherland and the people. She said, "We don't have winter here" and "We wake up in spring". She is diligent in translation and has published many translations. A large number of essays and novels written by her have been included as Little Orange Lantern, Ode to Cherry Blossoms, Small Prizes for Picking Ears and so on. As we all know, it is widely circulated.

1949 New Year's Day After the Cultural Revolution began in Tokyo, Bing Xin was hit, his family was copied, and he entered the "bullpen" and was criticized by the rebels under the scorching sun. 1At the beginning of 970, Bing Xin, who was 70 years old, was sent to the May 7th Cadre School in Xianning, Hubei Province for labor reform. It was not until 197 1 that US President Nixon was about to visit China that Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao returned to Beijing to accept the translation task assigned by the Party and the government. At this time, she cooperated with Wu Wenzao, Fei Xiaotong and others to complete the translation of Outline of World History and World History. Under the extremely abnormal economic construction and political life in this country, Bing Xin, like her people, is in trouble and thinking. During the ten-year "Cultural Revolution" turmoil, despite being treated unfairly, she faced everything calmly and firmly believed that truth would prevail. She has always been concerned about the progress of the socialist motherland and the improvement of people's lives. She once wrote in the article Impression of the Century: "In the past 90 years, my love for the motherland and the people has always been rock-solid." Practice has proved that Bing Xin is a close friend of the Party through thick and thin for a long time.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, it entered the second creative climax.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the motherland entered a new historical period, and Bing Xin ushered in a miraculous second creative climax. She doesn't know that old age is coming, and she has always maintained the noble quality of constant thinking, enterprising forever and selfless dedication.

1June, 980, Bing Xin, a representative of the 54th National People's Congress in Fujian, suffered from cerebral thrombosis first and then fracture. Illness can't make her put down her pen. She said, "Life begins at the age of eighty". Her short story "Empty Nest" published that year won the National Excellent Short Story Award. Later, he created masterpieces such as "Everything is Top Grade ……" and "Monks in the Distance". In prose, in addition to Three Letters to Young Readers, he has successively created four series of articles: As I Think, My Autobiography, About Men and Fu Jian's Miscellanies. Its large number, rich content and unique writing style have made her literary achievements reach a new height and become a magnificent landscape in her later years. My Request, My Thank You and Letter to a Reader published at the end of 1990s all spoke the truth in an honest, frank and earnest tone, showing her deep love for the motherland and people. She has donated more than RMB100000 to the primary schools in her hometown, the National Hope Project, the China Rural Women's Education Development Fund, Anhui and other people in disaster areas. She enthusiastically responded to Ba Jin's initiative to establish China Modern Literature Museum, donated a large number of books, manuscripts, calligraphy and painting, and took the lead in establishing Bingxin Library. As the people's diplomatic envoy, Bing Xin frequently visited all over the world, bringing the literature and culture of China and the friendly feelings of the people of China to every corner of the world. She has made outstanding contributions to national reunification and promoting friendly exchanges with people all over the world. She is a shining example of patriotic intellectuals in our country.

Bing Xin (9 pieces)199265438+On February 24th, the National Social Academic Group Bing Xin Research Association was established in Fuzhou, with the famous writer Ba Jin as its president, and since then a series of research and activities have been carried out.

In order to publicize Bingxin's literary achievements and spirit, the Standing Committee of Bingxin Research Association proposed that Bingxin Literature Museum be established in Changle, Bingxin's hometown, under the direct leadership of Fujian Federation of Literary and Art Circles, with the approval of China Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. There is a large-scale exhibition of Bing Xin's life and creation, Bing Xin Research Center, conference hall and living room, covering an area of 13 mu, with a construction area of 4,500 square meters. It was officially completed and opened for business on August 25th. 1997.

Social assessment

After Bing Xin's death, the Party and people spoke highly of her, calling her "an outstanding literary master in China in the 20th century, a loyal patriot, a famous social activist and a close friend of China." In other words, Bing Xin's achievements and contributions are manifold. She dedicated her life to her children, to the motherland and the people, to the whole society and all mankind.

Bing Xin, a contemporary of the century, has been writing for 75 years, following the changes of the century all his life. She is a veteran of the New Literature Movement. Her creative process shows the great track of the development of modern and contemporary literature in China from the May 4th literary revolution to the new period literature. She created a variety of Bing Xin's literary styles and carried out solid literary modernization practice. She is the first generation children's literature writer in China, a famous novelist, essayist, poet and translator in modern China. Her translated works, such as The Prophet by Ji Bolun in Lebanon, The Sand and the Bubble, Tagore's Chittaglia, The Gardener's Collection and many other plays, are recognized as excellent literary translations, and were awarded the National Cedar Medal by the Lebanese President on 1995. Her literary influence transcends national boundaries, and her works have been translated into foreign languages, which has been appreciated by readers at home and abroad.

Grandma Bing Xin and Kitty Bing Xin are also famous social activists. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, she has served as a member of the second and third Council of the Chinese Writers Association, secretary and consultant of the Secretariat, member and vice-chairman of the second and fourth National Committees of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy, member of the first and fifth the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), member of the fifth and seventh Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the eighth and ninth National Committees, vice-chairman of the National Children's Welfare Foundation and member of the Standing Committee of the China Women's Federation. She has always paid attention to and devoted herself to various activities with her love for the motherland, people and children. She has made outstanding contributions to the development of literature, women and children in China, and to upholding and improving the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by China.

Bing Xin is deeply influenced by the communist trend of thought and is regarded as a writer who writes with the philosophy of love, especially the idea of love for the lower classes. Ba Jin listed "love" as the theme of Bing Xin's works, saying that "I hope all young people will read some books by Bing Xin and have a sincere love". In the style of her works, Bing Xin is famous for her soft words. Liang Shiqiu commented on the brevity of Bing Xin's prose and novels, and thought that the genres of stars and spring water were not worth imitating and became fashionable.

During the Republic of China, Bing Xin received relatively low evaluation from contemporary female writers (such as Zhang Ailing and Su Qing). Zhang Ailing wrote in "I See Su Qing": "If I have to comment on female writers in a special column, I can't be proud to compare myself with Bing Xin and Bai Wei ..."

Compared with the well-known reputation, Bing Xin's famous works are not many. Nowadays, people are most familiar with short works such as Little Orange Lantern and Three Letters to Young Readers, which have been included in textbooks at different times.

Bing Xin's famous saying is "With love, there is everything". Her words and deeds all her life, all her millions of words, all show her incomparable love for the motherland and people and confidence in the future of mankind. She loves all the outstanding cultural achievements accumulated by the Chinese nation and all mankind through history. She loves life, beautiful things, and the appearance and character of roses. Her innocence, kindness, fortitude, courage and integrity make her enjoy a high reputation among readers at home and abroad. The people of China are proud to have such a literary master as Bing Xin.

Writer evaluation

When reading Bing Xin's poems, the most disappointing thing is the lack of female writers, but there are no female parents. Ms. Bing Xin, whom I know from the stars and springs, is a poet whose temperature is below zero.

The genre of "stars" and "spring water" cannot be elegant in the poetry garden after all. This is probably the easiest thing to do. Grab a specious poem, choose a few beautiful words to schedule it, and it will become a song, and it will become an episode after more than ten days. This is a poetic style that is the easiest to be lazy and should not be fashionable at all.

Another disadvantage of Stars and Spring Water is that the syntax is too close to prose.

To sum up: Ms. Bing Xin is a prose writer. Novel writers are not suitable for poetry; "Star" and "spring water" are not worth imitating and become fashionable.

Yiliang Shiqiu

Here, we feel what Ms. Bing Xin called "there is only sympathy and pity in the world, and there is only mutual assistance and help in the world"-such an "ideal world" refers to the "smile" as one of the literary elements; The so-called "nothingness of life" is the "reality of suffering", which is the so-called "tears". And she made it clear: I want to eulogize "ideal", and I don't want to describe "reality" to earn people's "tears".

-Mao Dun

With you around, the light comes on.

After reading Bing Xin's book, generations of young people understand love: love the stars, love the sea, love the motherland, and love all beautiful things. I hope young people can read some books about Bing Xin and have a sincere love.

-Ba Jin

A kind and beautiful star has fallen, and her light will remain in the hearts of generations forever. ...

-Wei Wei

"Bingxin body"

The ice core is also called "star lattice" and "spring water body" by Mao Dun. The language of Bing Xin's prose is "beauty" and "elegance". She is good at refining spoken English into a literary language. She can absorb and melt the words and phrases in classical literature and inject them into modern languages. As early as the early May 4th Movement, Bing Xin was engaged in writing vernacular Chinese. In the flowing style of writing, some words in classical Chinese sometimes appear in quoting poems or making sentences. However, it is not a combination of writing and writing, but is carefully refined and processed to blend with each other, forming a unique language art: concise, lively, fresh and beautiful. Or bright colors, or simple but elegant, have strong lyricism, giving people a poetic aesthetic feeling. Its patchwork long and short sentence patterns and punctuality of parallelism and antithesis enhance the musicality of the language. Readers praised this language so much that later, this language not only showed the fluency and clarity of vernacular Chinese, but also showed the refinement and beauty of classical Chinese, which was collectively called "Bing Xin Ti" language.
