Seven Lost Letters

In 1936, a seventeen year old woman from China’s Shanxi Province began correspondence with the famous writer Ba Jin. Seventy years later, in 2006, the author Zhao Yu, unexpectedly stumbles upon seven of Ba Jin’s replies in an antique shop. What follows is a journey the tumultuous history of twentieth century China as the author endeavors to discover the identity of Ba Jin’s young pen pal. The adventure which ensues — full of coincidences, dead-ends, surprising revelations and even a murder, is also a journey through Chinese literary and intellectual history. 《寻找巴金的黛莉》以寻找巴金七封信为源，牵出一位现代女性传奇而坎坷的命运，体现了作者赵瑜忠诚于土地的精神。中译出版社（原中国对外翻译出版有限公司）凭借强大的翻译团队为这本书做出了英文的诠释，赋予了此书新的生命。
