contents This paper studies a linear-quadratic mean-field game of stochastic large-population system, where the large-population system satisfies a class of $N$ weakly coupled linear backward stochastic differential equation. Different from the fixed-point approach commonly used to address large population problems, we first directly apply the maximum principle and decoupling techniques to solve a multi-agent problem, obtaining a centralized optimal strategy. Then, by letting $N$ tend to infinity, we establish a decentralized optimal strategy. Subsequently, we prove that the decentralized optimal strategy constitutes an $ε$-Nash equilibrium for this game. Finally, we provide a numerical example to simulate our results.
