海飞

Hai Fei is an author about whom limited public information is available; three works are currently known: Fireworks of My Youth: Selected Works of Hai Fei, Searching for the Military Pigeon, and Warhorse in the Snow. Judging from these titles, Hai Fei's writing touches on two categories, classic works and war and military themes. Searching for the Military Pigeon and Warhorse in the Snow clearly suggest military and wartime narratives, while Fireworks of My Youth: Selected Works of Hai Fei carries the sense of a personal retrospective compiled by the author himself. Because basic details such as dates of birth and death and nationality are not clearly recorded, a more detailed account of his life and creative career is difficult to provide. Overall, Hai Fei's output is small and his subjects relatively concentrated, appearing in both the war and military vein and in the personal selected-works vein; readers may gain a sense of his writing through the three works mentioned above.
