I am not a writer, but I have been writing for more than fifty years. Everyone is exposed to literature in different ways. I like reading novels since I was a child, and sometimes I even forget to eat and sleep, but not for study, but for recreation. I never dreamed that I would become a novelist. I started writing novels just to find a way out.

-Fifty years of literary career

Ba Jin wrote more than 9 million words in his life and used more than 20 signatures. The most common name is "Ba Jin". How did this name come from? It was still in Sardo-Giri, a small town in France. He wrote his first novel, Death, and wanted to send it back to China for publication. He didn't want to use his real name Li Yaotang, so he thought of a classmate from the north, Barnbo. After less than a month together, he went to Paris and committed suicide in hot water the next year. In memory of him, he used the rare word "ba" in hundreds of surnames; At this time, an Anhui friend studying philosophy saw Ba Jin's translation of Ethics (1842- 192 1) on the table and suggested using the word "Jin". A casual and common signature later became the "evidence" of Ba Jin's belief in anarchy: Ba is bakunin's initials, and Jin is Krupotkin's suffix, which shows that he worships the two representatives of anarchy, and no other explanation is allowed.

Ba Jin's respect for Lu Xun is far from today. 1933 ding ling was arrested in Shanghai in may 14, and it is widely rumored that she was killed in Nanjing in June. Mr. Lu Xun once wrote a poem "Mourning Ding Jun" to deeply commemorate the "martyrdom" of this outstanding young writer. Half a year later, in the first issue of Literature Quarterly, Ji Xianlin published a book review, Night Meeting, criticizing Ding Ling. Ba Jin learned from Mao Dun that Lu Xun was not satisfied with sending this article at this time, so he took it out when the quarterly was reprinted. This also triggered some contradictions within the quarterly, and Ba Jin also turned a blind eye.

I said, this is the last tear,

Crying is a shameful thing.

We shed too many tears!

I'm tired of being the target of samurai!

We still have human blood in our veins,

Our hearts still beat with people's hearts:

We must stand up as individuals.

We must firmly say that it is not a sheep to be slaughtered.

We should decide our own destiny.

I said, this is the last tear,

Crying is a shameful thing.

For Ba Jin, "friendship is the ever-burning lamp in life". Now that all his friends around him have died, he feels lonely, so he says,' Longevity is a punishment'.
