1937年11月,上海失陷后,国民政府西迁。当时文艺界的一些爱国人士纷纷离开上海溯江而上。巴金本来可以和他们一起到武汉的,巴金没有走,他觉得上海租界“孤岛”上的战斗不亚于在抗战前线作战。《呐喊》查封后,巴金将它改名《烽火》继续出刊,宣传抗战,并以坚强的意志完成了《春》第二部的写作。 In November 1937, after the fall of Shanghai, the Kuomintang government moved westward. At that time, some patriotic people in the literary and art circles left Shanghai on the river. Ba Jin could have come to Wuhan with them, and Ba Jin did not go away. He felt that fighting in Shanghai’s concession “island” was as good as fights in front of the war. After “crying” was sealed off, Ba Jin renamed it “beacon” and continued to publish it to publicize the war of resistance and completed the second part of his writing with the strong will.
