笔耕

Bi Geng is an author for whom public information is currently limited; neither nationality, dates of birth and death, nor an English name have been clearly recorded. Judging from the two works held in the collection, Bi Geng's writing spans the fields of inspirational personal growth and popular health writing, with subjects close to the everyday needs of ordinary readers. The book on life principles for readers in their twenties addresses young people at the beginning of their adult lives, discussing choices and attitudes in an accessible way. The quick-reference guide to diet for stomach and intestinal ailments focuses on dietary care, using a look-up format that lets readers turn to the sections they need. Though different in theme, both works reflect a practical, plain, reader-oriented approach: the language is not ornate, and the priority is to explain ideas or knowledge clearly. Because the available information is limited, Bi Geng's life experience and full body of work cannot yet be fully outlined, and only a brief introduction based on existing works is possible.
