It is probably Ba Jin’s most famous work, often read for its insights into the system prevalent in the early 20th century in CHina. The Family(jia) focuses on three brothers from the Gao family, Juexin, Juemin and Juehui, and their struggles with the oppressive autocracy of their feudalistic family.
