Creative background
This article was written in 1927 when the author was on his way to study in France.
In 1923, 19-year-old Ba Jin and his third brother resolutely broke through the confines of their feudal families and went to Shanghai and Nanjing, where they were admitted to the cram school at the Middle School Affiliated to Southeast University. During his studies, he participated in some social activities. The famous "May 30" movement had a greater impact on him, and his democratic ideas were further developed.
On January 15, 1927, he left Shanghai for France on the French ship "Angers", accompanied by Wei Huilin and nine Chinese students on the same ship. He went to France to study economics, "look to the West for truth," further study anarchist theory, and inspect European social activities. France was not only the birthplace of anarchism, but also a refuge for Europe's political losers at that time.
On February 18, the cruise ship "Angers" arrived in Marseille. Ba Jin arrived in Paris on the 19th. During the cruise, Ba Jin wrote thirty-eight pieces of "Miscellaneous Notes on the Sea". "Stars" is one of the travel notes, written in January 1927.
