In 1946, he completed the novel "Cold Night". The short story "Gods, Ghosts and Humans" is the most famous one. In memory of Barnbo's classmate who died in a foreign country, I wrote the character "Ba" as the first character of my pen name. In March 1958, Ba Jin said in the article "On "Destruction": "The word 'Ba' in my pen name is associated with him. From him, I learned that there is one surname among hundreds of families. The pen name should consist of two characters, and I have to add another character. Which character should I use? While he was hesitating, Zhan Jianfeng walked in. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, he asked why. Li Yaotang told the truth and said he wanted to find a word that was easy to remember. Zhan Jianfeng was an enthusiastic person. When he saw the book "Ethics" by Kropotkin that Li Yaotang was translating spread out on the table, he pointed and said: "Let's use Kropotkin's 'gold'." So Li Yaotang said happily Nodding: "Okay, let's call it 'Ba Jin'. It's easy to pronounce and easy to remember." Then he wrote the word "金" after the word "Ba".
