I love my motherland and my people. Without it and them, I would not be able to survive, let alone write. ——Ba Jin

Ba Jin wrote in the postscript of "Exploration Collection" published in 1981: "I have said that it is the pain of most people and my own pain that makes me pick up the pen and keep writing. Go down. I love my motherland and my people. Without it and them, I cannot survive, let alone write. I write to fight, to expose, to accuse, and to contribute to the country and the people. , but not to beautify yourself."
