Extended information:

Ba Jin and Bird Paradise are a match made in heaven. When he visited the three townships of Tianlu, Tianma and Chakeng in Xinhui, because principal Chen Hongyou was busy with school affairs, he asked three classmates and colleagues, Ye Qujun from Tianlu, Chen Yujiu from Tianma, and Liang Chaoling from Chakeng, to accompany Ba Jin Visit Sanxiang. At this time, it was early summer in the southern water town.

One evening, after dinner at Wuben Primary School in Tianma Township (now the Wuben Hall, the ancestral hall near the Tianma Village Committee), Chen Yu invited Ba Jin to row a boat around the Quedun. As Ba Jin said in his article, he was a little disappointed that he could not see any birds that night.

The next morning, I went to a place with "mountains and towers" (referring to Chakeng Township, the mountain is "Fengshan" and the tower is "Xiongzi Pagoda") and asked Liang Chaoling to visit Liang Qichao's former residence. When he passed by "Quie Dun" again, he was pleasantly surprised to see birds flying all over the sky, and he felt very excited. He stopped the boat to watch the birds flying and landing, and went in and out of the big banyan tree, which made him reluctant to leave for a long time.

After Ba Jin returned to Shanghai, he wrote the beautiful prose "Bird's Paradise" with this mood in mind, describing this pleasant journey. This essay was originally published in Literary Quarterly (Volume 1, No. 2, August 1, 1933). Since China was in a turbulent era at that time, this paradise described by famous writers aroused widespread interest and yearning among people.
