1.《家》也許不是巴金最好的作品，但絕對(duì)是最有人緣的一本，可是它的問世并非一帆風(fēng)順。最初，小說在《時(shí)報(bào)》上連載，每天一千字左右，后來因?yàn)閼?zhàn)爭(zhēng)中斷過一段時(shí)間，《時(shí)報(bào)》又換了編輯。巴金突然接到一封信抱怨小說太長(zhǎng)，報(bào)社不想繼續(xù)登下去。收到信后巴金將剩下的稿子全寄了過去，并聲明如果報(bào)紙?jiān)敢獾峭?，他可以不要稿費(fèi)。用他的話說，“為讀者寫作”的他“總算盡了作家的責(zé)任”。這樣，《家》才得以完整面世。

2.調(diào)查顯示，對(duì)于“婚前財(cái)產(chǎn)公證”的態(tài)度，隨著時(shí)代的變遷，人們?cè)絹碓綄捜莺徒邮芰?，尤其是中高學(xué)歷者，46％的本科學(xué)歷者“做過或打算做婚前財(cái)產(chǎn)公證”。在調(diào)查中還發(fā)現(xiàn)，傳統(tǒng)方式上，婚后一般雙方的財(cái)產(chǎn)是放在一起管理的，可是目前，未婚者對(duì)于財(cái)產(chǎn)的管理比已婚者更傾向于“保留自己的部分財(cái)產(chǎn)，然后把余下的部分共同管理”這種理財(cái)方式，經(jīng)濟(jì)有一定的獨(dú)立性，又不失一個(gè)家庭的作用。這種不失個(gè)人獨(dú)立的家庭理財(cái)方式，在調(diào)查的本科及以上學(xué)歷者中有30％的人接受。

1.Family may not be the best fiction by Ba Jin, but it is certainly the most popular among readers.However, it was not without trouble for the fiction to get published.It first came out in series in the Times at a rate of 1000 word daily.But the publication was interrupted because of the war,and the change of the editor for the Times made things even worse, for Ba Jin got a letter from him complaining the fiction too long to go on publishing.On receiving the letter, Ba Jin posted him the manuscripts for the rest of the fiction, declaring he was willing to have it published without any royalty.To use his own term, “as a writer for his readers,” he “has done what he should do.” And thus came out the whole story of Family.2.Investigation shows that with the passage of time people have a more tolerant attitude towards the practice of Pre-marriage property notarization, especially among those with a medium or advanced education background, of which 46% bachelors “have notarized or are planning to notarize the property before their marriage.” The investigation also shows that in the past the property of the two parties were managed together, while today those to get married tend to “keep part of their own property although there are some parts being managed by the two parties together”.They believe that this way of managing their property can ensure they remain independent economically while respecting the role of family.Investigation shows this idea is accepted by 30% of those with a bachelor or higher degree.
