Representative works "For a Young Reader", poetry collections "Stars", "Spring Water" and so on. Bing Xin's creation has a unique artistic style, that is, gentle and cordial feelings, slightly melancholy colors, implicit techniques and fresh and beautiful language. A family of naval officers with patriotism and reformism gave birth to him. Her father Xie participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-894-895 to fight against the Japanese invaders. Later, he founded the naval school in Yantai and became the principal. Bing Xin moved to Shanghai with her family seven months after her birth, and moved to Yantai, Shandong Province at the age of four, and then lived in Yantai seaside for a long time. The sea has cultivated her temperament and broadened her mind; Her father's patriotism and ambition to strengthen the country also deeply influenced her young mind. One summer evening, Bing Xin and her father were walking on the beach together. On the beach, facing the red light of the sunset glow, Bing Xin asked his father to talk about the sea in Yantai. At this time, her father told his little daughter that there are many beautiful harbors along the northern coast of China, such as Ahava, Dalian and Qingdao, which are all beautiful, but they are all occupied by foreigners. "It doesn't belong to us in China" "Only Yantai belongs to us!" Father's words were deeply imprinted on young Bing Xin's mind. Xie Wanying took Bing Xin as his pen name because in 19 19, Bing Xin used Bing Xin as his pen name for the first time when he published his first novel Two Families. According to Bing Xin, "At that time, I didn't want my classmates to know that I wrote the article. Bing Xin's strokes were simple and easy to write, which was consistent with my real name. After I was born, my grandfather asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune. The fortune teller said I should be a man, and I was hit by satellites. He also said that I was short of fire. So my second uncle named me' Wan Ying', and there are two words' fire' on the prefix' English'. " In Yantai, Bing Xin began to study. During her initial study at home, she came into contact with China's classical literature. At the age of seven, she read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. At the same time, I also read Say No Series published by the Commercial Press, including a piece of meat for the rest of my life by Dickens, a famous British writer, and other critical realism works in Kloc-0/9th century. When reading "A Piece of Meat for the Rest of My Life", poor David ran out from the abusive shopkeeper and went to find his aunt. Bing Xin cried and pretended to be a snack given to her by her mother. After the Revolution of 1911, Bing Xin returned to Fuzhou with her father and lived in a big courtyard behind Wanxing Tongshi Store in Nanhou Street Yangqiao. Grandpa's big family lives here, and there are many couplets on the pillars at home, all written by Bing Xin's uncles. This house was originally the residence of Lin Juemin, one of the 72 martyrs in Huanghuagang. After the accident, the Lins were afraid of being punished, so they sold their house and took refuge in the countryside. The person who bought this house is Bing Xin's grandfather, Mr. Xie Shuan 'en. Here, Bing Xin was admitted to the preparatory course of Fuzhou Women's Normal School with 19 12, becoming the first girl in Xie's family to formally enroll. 19 13 years, his father Xie went to Beijing National Government as the director of the Military Science Division of the Navy Department.

Encouraged by the patriotic student movement, she published her first essay "Thoughts on the 21st Hearing" and her first novel "Two Families" in19/morning post in August. The latter first used the pen name "Bing Xin". Because the work directly involves major social issues, it will soon have an impact. Bing Xin said that it was the thunder of the May 4th Movement that "shocked" her writing. Later, he wrote "problem novels" such as When You Are Lonely, Helpless and Poor, Going to the Country, and Autumn Rain is Coming, which highlighted the destruction of human nature by feudal families, the fierce conflict between the two generations in the New World and the pain brought to the people by warlords. At that time, Concord Women's University was merged into yenching university, and Bing Xin joined the famous literature research society as a young student. Under the banner of "for life", her creations flowed out continuously, and she published the novel Superman and the poem Stars and Springs that attracted the attention of critics, which aroused the response of social literary circles and thus promoted the writing trend of "short poems" in the early stage of new poetry. 1923, Bing Xin won the Wellesley Women's University Scholarship with excellent results. Before and after studying abroad, she began to publish a series of communication essays with "To a Little Reader" as the general title, which became the cornerstone of children's literature in China.
