Bingxin, a distinguished
contemporary writer, poet,
translator, and social activist,
was born Xie Wanying on Oct.5,
1900, in Fuzhou, Fujian Province,
to the family of a patriotic naval
officer. During the May Fourth
Movement, a patriotic student
movement against foreign
aggression and for new culture,
she was a student at Yanjing
University, was elected
secretary of the Students’
Union, and took an active part
in the publicity work for the
Beijing Federation of Women
Students. Greatly inspired by the
movement, she began
contributing to the newspaper
Chenbao (Morning Paper).
After she graduated from
Yanjing University in 1923 with a
Bachelor’s Degree, Phi-BetaKappa, she went to the United
States to further her study in
literature at Wellesley College
and finished her postgraduate
study with a Master’s Degree.
Her M.A. Thesis was An English
Translation and Edition of the
Poems of Lady Li I-an (1926), a
distinguished woman poet of
the Sung Dynasty. In 1926,
Bingxin returned to China to
teach Chinese Literature at
Yanjing University, a post she
held until 1936. In 1929, she
married Wu Wenzao, one of the
founders of anthropology in
China and widely respected in
that field.
Bingxin had never stopped
writing, contributing all her life to
various papers and journals. She
wrote a lot about her life and
experience in the United States,
from her journey there to the
end of her stay. Those essays
were later collected and
published under the title of
Letters to Young Readers, which
has won her great popularity. As
well as being educated in
America, in 1947,Bingxin went
with her husband to Japan
where she taught a course on
the New Chinese Literature at
Tokyo University. She returned to
China in 1951.1n 1960,as a
member of the Chinese Writers
Association, she paid visits to
various countries in Europe, Asia,
and Africa to promote
international cultural
exchanges.
Bingxin’s literary involvement
covers a wide spectrum. Her
achievements in writing for
children are the most significant
and her influence has been
widespread. Letter to Young
Readers in the 192Os,More
Letters to Young Readers in the
1950s and Still More Letters in the
1970s have stimulated and
educated generation after
generation of young 20th
century readers.
Her most salient literary
achievements are in prose,
which constitutes the bulk of her
writing, A Smile in the 1920s, A
Little Orange Lantern in the
1950s, Ode to Cherry Blossoms in
the 1960s are modern prose
classics. In the spirit of" Life
Begins at 80", she had
continued her writing into her
later years. In the 1980s,she
completed a series of prose
writings, for example, About
Men. Since 1985 she had been
writing reminiscences, short
stories, prose, essays, which
have stimulated great interest
and response on the part of her
many readers.
Bingxin was one of Chinese
poets in the early time of the
20th century. Two collections of
her poems A Maze of Stars and
Spring Water, published in the
1920s,were so unique that the
style was named 'Bingxin Style'
after her. She blazed a trail in
modern poetry and ushered in
a period of 'popular short
poems'.
In fiction, her 1920s short stories
describing social problems, Two
Families and A Frustrated Man,
found an echo in the hearts of
many readers. In 1981,her short
story An Empty Nest won the
National Best Short Story Award.
As a translator, Bingxin had
translated Tagore's collected
poems Gitanjali (Song Offerings)
and The Gardener. She was the
first to translate the Lebanese
Poet Kahil Gibran' s collected
poems The Prophet and Sand
and Foam into Chinese in the
early 30s and 60s respectively. In
recognition of her contribution to
cultural exchange and friendship
between China and Lebanon,
the President of Lebanon
conferred a National Decoration
on her in 1995.
they are about to officially be
siblings. What about Ah Meng's
brother who suddenly decides to
turn up and mess up Qi Yue's life?
And definitely, there are more
love rivals out there to test their
relationship.
惡魔在身邊
“Devil besides you”
by Maryam Abdulla
On the 20th century literary
scene, Bingxin had emerged as a
unique Chinese woman writer in
terms both of her achievements
and of the fact that her creative
writing had spanned the century
from the 1920s to the 1990s. Her
works teem with wisdom, purity,
sincerity, noble ideals, love for
the young and for the nation. Her
writings have faithfully recorded
the experiences and lessons of
the 20th century. She was a
woman of integrity and principle,
keeping her dignity and
upholding her lofty ideals. She
had taken things philosophically
and viewed life optimistically,
looking always on the bright side
of things. As the saving has it:
‘the writing reflects the writer’
Bingxin' s writing, like a maze of
stars in the sky or a pond of spring
water when winter comes to an
end, relieves thirst, brings
comfort, and will exert a lasting
influence on readers, generation
after generation.

hands of Ah Meng (starred by
Mike He), who is the school's
President's son.
Ah Meng is known
as the Devil in the

Spicing up the story is a
