About the author
Mu Xin
33 books25 followersMu Xin (1927-2011) was the pen name of a renowned Chinese diasporan writer and artist who once lived in the New York area. Mu Xin was born in Wuzhen, South China, into a wealthy aristocratic family with business interests in Shanghai. He was among the last generation to receive a classical education in the literati tradition, but he was also exposed through voluminous reading to the highest achievements of Western art and culture.
From 1947 to 1949, Mu Xin attended Shanghai Institute of the Arts. From 1949 until 1982, when he came to the United States, MuXin lived in China. Although he wrote profusely in that period, all of his earlier manuscripts were confiscated and destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Since 1982, MuXin published twelve books of fiction, prose, and poetry (in Chinese) and contributed to literary columns in Chinese journals and newspapers outside the PRC. Among the Chinese diaspora, MuXin’s works have attracted an intense following.
Few Chinese writers in modern history have as firm a mastery of the Chinese cultural and linguistic heritage as MuXin did. Innovatively combining fiction, sanwen (a Chinese genre which blends characteristics of the essay, fiction, and poetry), and philosophical reflections, MuXin’s writing is both profoundly Chinese and reminiscent of the internalization and unconventionality of Western modern masters. In addition to his literary accomplishments, MuXin was also a well recognized artist whose paintings are preserved, among other places, at Yale University and Harvard University Art Galleries.

掃了兩眼，雖説是散文，但是沒有特別絮叨的感覺，有預感是我會喜歡的類型欸。
所謂即興判斷，便是看到生活中的一點便用以小見大，管中窺豹的手法放大開來寫出自己的體會。其結論當然也就看個滋味，而不應細細推敲和他杠上，畢竟人家題目已經點出了自己的武斷。總體來講文字朴实可爱，带点高傲自得與众人皆醉我独醒的狡黠，喜欢。
