I am a person always full of contradictions... It was hard to choose whether to devote myself to revolution as a soldier or as a writer.
Ba JinBefore my eyes are many miserable scenes, the suffering of others and myself forces my hands to move. I become a machine for writing.
Ba JinI write just because the fire of my emotion is burning. Had I not, I would not have been able to find peace.
Ba JinLoving truth and living honestly is my attitude to life. Be true to yourself and be true to others, thus you can be the judge of your behavior.
