1939 In the spring, Ba Jin edited a collection of novels "Escape from the Wilderness" for Ai Wu who moved to Guilin, and wrote a postscript for the book, saying: "At this time, we need to read what our own people wrote, not only because it was written in our own language, but also because it shines our souls and runs through our beloved monks. Whether it is a scale, whether it is new or old ... "
Guo Moruo commented on Ai Wu's works like this: "I have read The Journey to the West in Ai Wu, which is a book full of future. I like a famous saying in "On the Pine Ridge" best:' Be sympathetic and helpful to the younger generation.' This sentence touched me deeply and I will never forget it. "
