How to evaluate Bai Xianyong s literary achievements?

In class, a professor whom I respect said that he believed that three hundred years later, Mr. Bai Xianyong was the person with the highest achievement in Chinese writing among overseas Chinese after 1949, and there was no one of them. I think I have always liked Mr. Ji, whom I respect very much, for the first time to praise a person like this, which means that this person is really good and his literary achievements are really high.

When Bai Xianyong was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and could not go to school. After graduating from Jianguo High School in 1956 and receiving a master's degree from the University of Iowa in 1965, Bai Xianyong went to the University of California, Santa Barbara to teach Chinese and Chinese literature and settled there. He retired in 1994.

His representative works include the short story collection "Lonely Seventeen Years Old", "Taipei People", "The New Yorker", the essay collection "Suddenly Looking Back", and the long story "The Son". Among them, "Taipei People" was selected as one of the top 100 Chinese in the 20th century. ‍‍

I really admire his literary achievements, he is a writer with great potential, and I often read his works.

Bai Xianyong's works often reveal the idea that the world is impermanent, and life is like a dream, revealing a strong sentimentalism. There are many reasons for Bai Xianyong's sentimentalism, the most important of which is the influence of the sense of historical rise and fall and the vicissitudes of life in China's traditional philosophy and Buddhism and Chinese literary tradition, and secondly, personal experience, environment and character are also important factors.

However, the sentimentality expressed in Bai Hsien-yong's works does not hide the rich social content and epistemic value of his works, and his works paint a true picture of Taiwan's upper and lower classes.

Reading Bai Xianyong's **, you can feel his compassion for society, life, and people, and this stems from his deep, persistent, and unreserved love for society, life, and people. This kind of feeling of his deeply attracted me, and attracted me to experience the love and helplessness of life in his works.

I don't think about ugliness, how dare I put forward my humble opinion. Professor Xia Zhiqing's evaluation of Mr. Bai is as follows: The genius of the contemporary Chinese short story ** family, since the May Fourth Movement, there are only five or six people who can match him in terms of artistic achievements, from Lu Xun to Zhang Ailing.

Congratulations to Mr. Bai on his longevity, and then learn to be the first.

Bai Xianyong absorbed the writing techniques of modern Western literature and integrated them into traditional Chinese expressions, describing the stories and lives of characters in the alternating era of the old and the new, rich in the sense of historical rise and fall and the vicissitudes of life.

Mr. Bai Xianyong is the most potential person among the writers in the United States, many of his works have left brilliant achievements in the literary world, and he is a genius in the family, and I especially admire him.

He writes about family affection, about his youthful years, about those friends he has, whoever they are, he puts a lot of emotion into it. No matter how flowery the words are, they can't replace the emotions that burst out of the heart, and a good article is one that resonates with people's hearts.

I think Bai Xianyong's work is particularly good. His ** is special to society, human nature, life, all kinds of summaries, and all kinds of control.

I think Bai Xianyong is a writer with a lot of literary skills, and I like his articles.

Ordinary life is the most bitter and precious life, ordinary communication is the most precious memory of life, I like Mr. Bai very much, thank him for giving us more color in our spiritual life.

Since May Fourth, there are only five or six people who can compete with Bai Xianyong, Lu Xun and Zhang Ailing.

Mr. Bai is young and handsome, but he is not accompanied by a red face, and he is not filial piety!

Vain character, empty writer!

Bai Lao first commented on himself, and then saw what the readers had to say?

Representative works "Taipei People", "Garden Dream", "Youth Version of the Peony Pavilion", "Bai Xianyong Anthology" and so on.

Bai Xianyong's Collected Works is the most complete collection of Bai Xianyong's works so far, and all kinds of literary genres have been collected. **, prose, **, drama, film script, interview, dialogue, all of them, it can be said that it is quite comprehensive to present Bai Xianyong's literary activities in these years.

Character experience. On July 11, 1937, Bai Xianyong was born in Guilin, Guangxi, China, his father Bai Chongxi was a general of the Gui family of the Chinese Kuomintang, and his mother was named Ma Peizhang; Bai Hsien-yong is eighth, along with nine siblings (only five are still alive), and radio personality Bai Yunqin is his cousin, and most of the family still lives in Taiwan. When Bai Xianyong was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and could not go to school, so he spent most of his childhood alone.

During the Sino-Japanese War, he and his family travelled to Chongqing, Shanghai and Nanjing, and later moved to Hong Kong in 1948 to study at La Salle College. Soon after, he moved to Taiwan in 1952.

Bai Xianyong. I highly respect the Chinese classic ** "Dream of Red Mansions".

Characterization, dialogue and Buddhist thought, Faulkner and Dostoevsky in the West.

The spirit of compassion in his works also had a profound impact on his creation. Bai Hsien-yong is the most realistic writer among Taiwan's modernist writers, and his ** creation has made outstanding creative achievements.

Bai Xianyong's ** expression is rich and complex in ideological connotation, conveying a sense of historical vicissitudes and impermanence of life. The New Yorker.

Most of his works depict the identity crisis of overseas Chinese under the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. Wu Hansoul, an international student in "Death in Chicago", lived in isolation, studied hard for six years, and finally obtained a doctorate. However, his girlfriend has become another wife, and his mother, the only spring omen, has also passed away.

Taiwan is reluctant to return, and the cultural environment in the United States makes it impossible for him to adapt. The protagonist is spiritually empty, his soul is lost, and he commits suicide by throwing himself into the lake because he has no way out in the conflict between man and the environment. Li Tong, who is buried in Yuansen in "The Legend of the Immortals", is a willful and arrogant aristocratic lady, who has been completely Americanized on the surface, but has always been a Chinese deep down; On the surface, he lived a lively and happy life, but in the depths of his heart, he was lonely, miserable and desperate, and finally committed suicide in order to find relief.

Li Tong's tragedy is not only a tragedy of character, but also a tragedy of society.
