Born in an official family in Chengdu, Sichuan, Ba Jin created countless works in his life. During the Cultural Revolution, Ba Jin was brutally persecuted. From 1978, he serialized his essay Random Thoughts in Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, which was the last big project in his life. From 1978 to 65438+February to 1986, it took seven years, and finally he dedicated five volumes of magnificent masterpieces with more than 400,000 words. Infiltrated the true thoughts and feelings of the elderly in their later years, and wrote the great "confessions" of China intellectuals' mental journey in the past 40 years. After the old man Ba Jin was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the early 1980s, he still insisted on writing under the torture of the disease. When he writes, Lian Bi can't keep steady. Sometimes after just writing a few words, the fingers can't move, and the old man can only push his right hand with his left hand. The Complete Works of Ba Jin in 26 volumes, Ba Jin's Translation in 10 volumes, In Memory of Cao Yu and Farewell to Readers were all written and proofread by him after he was 90 years old. Every word he created is hard, and every word is blood.
Ba Jin and China have been together for one hundred years, but he is the most miserable old man in contemporary China, not only because of illness, but also because he is immersed in nightmare-like terror. He dissected himself and blamed himself, reminding people not to forget his national disaster through his works. Ba Jin's research expert said: "When the society is open and everyone is pursuing success, wealth and fame, only Ba Jin is still writing his confessional" Random Thoughts "word for word." This docile old man who dares to tell the truth, with his sincerity and 80 years of literary creation career, confirmed his sentence "Give your heart to the reader".
