Chapter 82 Preface to the Anthology of Modern Chinese Writers "Bing Xin"

The Sanlian Publishing Store in Hong Kong wanted to publish my anthology, and Comrade Zhuo Ru showed me the catalog she had selected. The events of the past 60 years in my writing career suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.These essays or poems of mine, in my opinion, are all naive, superficial, and my life circle is too narrow.But it’s all because of what I have felt in my heart over the years, and it has truly reflected and expressed my thoughts and feelings at that time and place.Through these words, readers can not only see the "traces of the flow of the heart spring" in the author's sixty years, but also see the changes in Chinese society in the past sixty years.The series of books of Joint Bookstore are sold in Hong Kong, Macau and overseas.If my anthology can make overseas readers feel kind and comforted by reading my experience and mood in the past sixty years, then my wish will be fulfilled.November 13, 1981.
