Lao She (February 3, 1899 - August 24, 1966), male, whose original name was Shu Qingchun, also given the pseudonym Sheyu. He also had the pen names Jieqing, Honglai, Feiwo, etc. Because Lao She was born at the beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, his parents named him "Qingchun", which probably means celebrating the coming of spring and a bright future. After going to school, he changed his name to Shu Sheyu, which means "giving up oneself", that is, "forgetting oneself".
Beijing Manchu Zhenghong Banner people. Chinese modern novelist, writer, language master, people's artist, the first writer in New China to win the title of "people's artist". His representative works include "Camel Xiangzi", "Four Generations Under One Roof" and the play "Teahouse".
Lao She always worked selflessly throughout his life. He is a well-deserved "model worker" in the literary and art circles. In 1966, due to the vicious attacks and persecution during the Cultural Revolution, Lao She was forced to commit suicide in Beijing's Taiping Lake. In September 2017, the classic modern Chinese literature novel "Four Generations Under One Roof" was published by Oriental Publishing Center. This is the first time the work has been published in full form since its publication.
Extended information:
Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His father was a Manchu guard who was killed in the Eight-Power Allied Forces' attack on Beijing. The family relied on the mother to do laundry for others to make ends meet.
In 1908, when Lao She was nine years old, he entered a private school with financial support.
In 1913, he was admitted to Beijing No. 3 Middle School (now Beijing No. 3 Middle School). He dropped out of school a few months later due to financial difficulties. In the same year, he was admitted to the publicly funded Beijing Normal School.
After graduating in 1918, he was assigned to be the principal of Fangjia Hutong Primary School. Two years later, he was promoted to a student counselor in the northern suburbs of the Capital Education Bureau. However, because it was difficult to interact with the old forces in the education sector and the local area, he quickly resigned from this well-paid position and returned to school teaching. .
In 1921, the vernacular novel "Her Failure" was published in "Overseas New Voices", signed by She Yu. This is the earliest work of Lao She discovered so far, with only 700 words. .
