I write just because the fire of my emotion is burning. Had I not, I would not have been able to find peace.
Ba JinI have spent myself on all kinds of things ... I have advanced much politically but I have written little and moreover have written it badly.
Ba JinYou have your thoughts and I have mine. This is the fact and you can't change it even if you kill me.
Ba JinMy pen is alight and my body aflame. Until both burn down to ash, my love and my hate will remain here in the world.
Ba Jin
