Bing Xin Posthumous Works to Be Published

A conference about famous Chinese female writer Bing Xin's posthumous works was held on September 10 in Beijing, also marking an early celebration of the 106th anniversary of Bing Xin's October 5 birthday.

Bing Xin, whose original name was Xie Wanying, wrote a lot of melancholy poems, stories, and essays that enjoyed great popularity.

Thirty-seven works found by Bing Xin's family and overseas scholars will be published posthumously by the People's Literature Publishing House, under the title Bing Xin Posthumous Works.

"Melancholy," an unpublished work discovered by Fang Xide, a professor at Peking University, is the longest and the only love story written by Bing Xin. Fang says the structure, language style and form of narration are different from the author's other works.

Bing Xin's diary and an unfinished book called The First Sino-Japanese War, dedicated to her husband who joined the war, were also found by Bing Xin's daughter, Wu Qing.

Wu Qing described how her mother would always tell her, "People are not the same as the government; Japanese people were suffering the same as Chinese people at that time."

Regarding the publishing of the newly-found works, Wu Qing said, "The useless-looking papers my mother left behind might now shine somehow."
