"Trees Are Like This" is a self-selected collection of Bai Xianyong's essays, which mainly includes articles in which he recalls his personal experiences and interactions with relatives and friends. Among them, "The Tree Is Like This", which commemorates a deceased friend, has been suffering from deep pain for six years. It is called "a song of life completed with blood, tears and the purest emotions in the world." Also included are two new works about friends: "Looking for the Bodhi Tree" by the painter Xi Song on his journey to practice Buddhism, and "Practice the Bodhisattva" by Du Cong, who rescued tens of thousands of AIDS orphans. This shows what Bai Xianyong has been thinking about in recent years.
Most of the works in the book were written after Bai Xianyong "knew his destiny at fifty". Dong Qiao was once "surprised that he was already like an old monk who was at ease and let go, letting a fallen flower silently spread its brilliance in his palm." Written to my friends Wang Guoxiang and my third sister Xianming, the simplicity contains magnificence and compassion for the world. Guilin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Taipei, cultural nostalgia is superimposed, making it difficult to find a place to return. In the fan magazine "Modern Literature" where he devoted his efforts and youth, Bai Xianyong used literature to make friends, and his love lasted a lifetime. He also cares about the growing difficulties of young people and the struggles and courage of AIDS patients. The joy of prosperous life, the reluctance to part with grief and death, Bai Xianyong's innocence, persistence and helplessness are transformed into a real world of sentient beings in his prose.
Reader comments
The book is divided into four parts: Zhi Nian writes about his deep love, siblings, and growth; Youth writes about the process of founding modern literature in college; Mentors and Friends commemorates the teachers and friends who have had close friendships in his life; Care represents his deep concern for homosexuality and AIDS.
When talking about beloved literature, one can seem to see the author talking endlessly in front of his eyes. He is high-spirited and ambitious. When mourning the lost life, the author is like a twilight old man. While lamenting the ruthlessness of time, he describes the bond between them in detail, and can appreciate the true love in the world.
This book is sincere in emotion, especially in the chapter "The Trees Are Like This". The author uses delicate writing to describe the past with his friends, making people feel how much he cherishes friendship. The book also mentions other friends. Their stories have their own characteristics, some are touching, and some are admirable. However, I kind of hate the person in the book who doesn't know how to cherish. His behavior is really irritating. Overall, this is a book well worth reading.
Trees are like this, how can people be embarrassed!
"I have always believed that man can defeat nature, and I always go against the odds. However, after all, human power is no match for destiny. No one can break the limits of life."
"In an instant, heaven and man were separated, and the bond between life and death was broad. In the human world, I bid farewell to Wang Guoxiang."
This version is okay, but there are some contents that were not included in the other version.
I am amazed at Mr. Bai Xianyong's writing, which reveals his true feelings in ordinary life, each word is delicate and the writing is so natural.
It's very interesting. The two have been together for 38 years and have been together through thick and thin. Even when Wang Guoxiang fell ill, Bai Xianyong did not abandon him but stayed with him. Bai Xianyong stayed with Wang Guoxiang until the last moment of his life. Highly recommended

Undoubtedly, the emotions are delicate, and although the rhetoric is not gorgeous, there are still glimpses of the world.
I like Mr. Bai Xianyong's works very much
The writing is delicate and full of emotion, like water, flowing in the heart. It introduces poems to discuss history, and philosophical thoughts are reflected in the text. Unconsciously, it is deeply touched and sheds tears. This is an excellent work that can be read calmly and carefully.
