The niece Zhang Aijia confirmed the mourning: "Xia Yin" author Zhang Beihai died

According to Century Wenjing, Zhang Aijia confirmed that Zhang Beihai, a writer who lived in New York at 2:40 am on the 17th of New York, at 2:40 pm Beijing time, Mr. Zhang Beihai died. As a niece, Zhang Aijia said, "He didn't have much pain and died quietly." Zhang Aijia was sorrowful that she was fortunate to tell him before his death, "Take a good rest, we all love you very much."

Zhang Beihai, like his real name Zhang Wenyi, turns around and associates with literature and art throughout his life. Aside from Ye Jiaying as his Chinese teacher, Zhang Aijia is his niece, he himself also has a considerable position in the American Chinese circle.

In 1936, he was born in Beijing and moved to Taipei. After graduating from the English Department of the Taiwan Normal University in 1962, he went to the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He was admitted to the United Nations in 1972 and settled in New York.

Before retiring, he was good at writing miscellaneous texts and observed the world's surrounding world with sharp humor. After retiring from the United Nations, Zhang Beihai's writing field transferred from New York to Beijing, and the writing genre shifted from prose to martial arts. He spent more than 6 years and wrote his first martial arts novel "Xia Yin".

The novel was greatly repercussive after publishing in China in 2007. A Chinese writer living in New York had such "magic" to restore the old Beijing in the 1930s. To this end, the writer A Cheng praised him with "the texture of bones to meat" and "really good -looking". Many readers also lamented, "Reading Xia Yin and evoking nostalgia." In 2018, the novel was adapted from Jiang Wen into the movie "Evil Is Not Pressing".

After "Xia Yin", Zhang Beihai's series of prose "People in New York", "Under the Sky" and "American: Eight Stories" were published. Since then, there is a collection of essays "One Screw New York", which is customized by Zhang Beihai.

Zhang Beihai's text was refined and restrained. The appearance is elegant dress, but there is a kind of "ranger" in the Chinese literature tradition in the bones. This time, Beihai Ranger finally returned to the sea.
