Lao She (1899～1966)
China writer. Formerly known as Shu Qingchun, the word Sheyu. Lao She is his most commonly used pen name. Manchu. Beijingers. Born into a poor family in the city.
Life and Creation: I graduated from Beijing Normal School in 1918, and worked as a primary school principal and a student counselor in the northern suburb. The ideological trend of democracy, science and personality liberation aroused by the May 4th New Culture Movement awakened him from the life creed of "running a primary school conscientiously, serving his mother respectfully and obediently, and getting married and having children in a proper way". The prosperity of the literary revolution made him "obsessed with new literature and art", thus starting a new starting point for his life and career.
In p>1924, Lao She went to Oriental College of University of London to teach Chinese and China literature. Since 1925, he has written three novels one after another: "Lao Zhang's Philosophy" has vividly exposed the smoky education circle; The whipping edge of Zhao Ziyue points to the young students who boast that the new school is actually intoxicated; The protagonist of "Two Horses" is a Beijinger living in Britain. Ironically, it is still the abnormal mentality of "leaving the nest" cultivated in the feudal small-scale production social soil. They all use crisp Beijing spoken language and witty humor to render the folk customs of Beijing, and through the analysis of the national psychology of being conservative and stealing peace, they express their worries about the fate of the motherland, showing their unique artistic personality and ideological perspective. After three works were serialized in Novel Monthly, they attracted the attention of literary circles. In 1926, Lao She joined the Literature Research Association. In the summer of 1929, he returned to China via Europe and Asia. During my stay in Singapore, I was inspired by the rising demand for national liberation, and created a novella "Xiaopo's Birthday" reflecting the awakening of the oppressed nation. Since July 1931, he has been teaching in cheeloo university. In the autumn of 1934, he was appointed as a professor at Qingdao Shandong University. In these two universities, courses such as introduction to literature, history of foreign literature, European literary trend of thought, novel practice and so on have been offered one after another. Continue to engage in creation after school. Following the original artistic orientation, there are novels such as Divorce and Biography of Niu Tianci, all of which are full of life interest and comedy effect. Compared with his earlier works, the description tends to be implicit from superficial, and his unique artistic style as a humorous writer, a custom painter of Beijing's human feelings and world, a performer and critic of civil society is quite mature. Facing the increasingly harsh social reality, there are two new trends in creation: first, the growing concern for state affairs triggered the inspiration for writing. For example, stimulated by the May 3rd tragedy created by the Japanese invaders, he wrote Daming Lake, and the September 18th incident caused him to be "disappointed with state affairs", so the fable novel Cat City came out; First, pay more attention to the sufferings of the urban poor, and take this as the main description object. "Crescent Moon" describes that the mother and daughter have become prostitutes for two generations, and "My Life" tells the rough experience of the lower-level police. In Camel Xiangzi, the personal destruction of Xiangzi, who came from the countryside to the city to pull a rickshaw, wrote a painful social tragedy. Introducing the dark life at the bottom of the city into the artistic world of modern literature is a great achievement of Lao She. Camel Xiangzi is an important work of his own and China's modern literary history. From the early 1931s, he began to write short stories, and his works included Fair, Sakura Sea Collection, Clam Algae Collection and so on. Among them, such as Liu Family Courtyard, Taking Office, Time-honored Brand and Broken Soul Gun, which are graceful, exquisite and complete, are rare masterpieces.
after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, on the eve of the fall of Jinan in October, 1937, he went to Wuhan alone. In March 1938, he joined the All-China Anti-Enemy Association of Literary and Art Circles and became the director of the General Affairs Department. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, he made many contributions to the unity of the literary and art circles and the anti-Japanese war. Most of his works written during the Anti-Japanese War are aimed at directly serving national liberation. At the beginning of the war, he enthusiastically advocated popular literature and art, and wrote and publicized small works such as anti-Japanese drums, cross talks and pendants for artists to sing. Later, he turned to drama creation which was directly publicized to the masses, and wrote more than 11 scripts such as Remnant Fog, Zhang Zizhong and Country First in succession, praising national integrity, commending patriots, and criticizing social abuses that were not conducive to unity and anti-Japanese, which played a positive propaganda role at that time. Since the beginning of 1944, I have entered the creation of the novel "Four Generations under One Family" and returned to the familiar Beijing civil society and the humorous and satirical art I am good at. The novel depicts the ordinary people who are deeply bound by traditional ideas, their inner conflicts at the critical moment of national life and death, their awakening and struggle arising from suffering, and naturally they also have passive escape and shameless depravity. Four generations under one roof is his masterpiece during the Anti-Japanese War, and it is also an important achievement of literature and art in the Anti-Japanese War. In March, 1946, Lao She went to the United States to give lectures at the invitation of the State Council. After the expiration of one year, he continued to live in the United States, engaged in creation and translated his works into English.
New Achievements in the New Era Upon learning that the People's Republic of China was founded, Lao She immediately set off for home. He was very excited by the new atmosphere of the new society, and soon published the drama "Square Pearl" with the theme of artist life. At the beginning of 1951, the drama Longxugou was staged and achieved great success. Through the joys and sorrows of several families in the complex, the script shows the tremendous changes that are taking place in Beijing and the urban poor who have experienced hardships. It is an ode to New China. Longxugou is a new milestone in Lao She's creation, so he won the honorary title of people's artist. From 1951s to 1961s, he held various positions in literature and art, politics, society, and foreign cultural exchanges, but he still worked hard to create. His works are mainly dramas, such as Chun Hua Qiu Shi, Looking at Chang 'an in the West, Red Courtyard, Salesgirl, etc., which are successful in depicting the spiritual journey of Beijing residents to bid farewell to their old lives and welcome the new era. He also wrote the essay I Love New Beijing. Since the second half of 1951s, Lao She has turned to depict the historical situation of modern Beijing in his plays Teahouse, Boxer Rebellion (also known as Shenquan) and novel Under the Red Flag (unfinished). Teahouse takes a teahouse as a stage, and unfolds the life scenes and historical trends of three times, namely, the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the late Qing Dynasty, the period when the Northern Warlords were entrenched in the early Republic of China, and the eve of the collapse of the Kuomintang regime. It writes about the decline of old China and reveals the truth that we must find another way out. Lao She's drama art has made a major breakthrough in this play. Teahouse is the most famous repertoire in contemporary China drama stage. After Camel Xiangzi, it once again won Lao She an international reputation.
in his creative career of more than 41 years, Lao She has continuously made important progress and breakthroughs in ideology and art. He is diligent in writing and tirelessly dabbles in various fields of literary creation. He is a prolific writer and has written more than 1,111 works in his life. Persecuted in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, he drowned himself in Taiping Lake in Beijing on August 24th, 1966.
