Difficult Mental Journey
About This Novel
In July 1949, Ba Jin, who was 45 years old and already in his middle age, wrote an article titled "I Came to Study." This article gives people the impression that he, who has been writing novels for more than 20 years, walked into the venue of the first national literary conference and seemed to be unable to find the feeling of creation. This summer gave Ba Jin a premonition of "change". Writers from the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the liberated areas sat in the audience of Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall. Many of them were old friends with familiar faces, but the high-spirited and confident expressions of the writers in the liberated areas made him somewhat unfamiliar: "I saw how people combined art with life, mixed words with blood and sweat, and created some beautiful, healthy and powerful works. The soul of New China radiated from them."
