Per Wikipedia, Shu Qingchun (1899 -1966), Aka Lao She And In English Lau Shaw, Lao Shuh And S. Y. Shu, Was A Chinese Novelist And Dramatist, Was One Of The Most Significant Figures Of 20Th-Century Chinese Literature. Lao She Was Born Shu Qingchun (???) In 1899 In Beijing, To A Poor Manchu Family Of The ?umuru Clan Belonging To The Plain Red Banner. His Father Died In A Street Battle With The (European) Eight-Nation Alliance Forces In The Course Of The Boxer Rebellion Events In 1901. "During My Childhood," Lao She Later Recalled, "I Didn't Need To Hear Stories About Evil Ogres Eating Children And So Forth; The Foreign Devils My Mother Told Me About Were More Barbaric And Cruel Than Any Fairy Tale Ogre With A Huge Mouth And Great Fangs. And Fairy Tales Are Only Fairy Tales, Whereas My Mother's Stories Were 100 Percent Factual, And They Directly Affected Our Whole Family." In 1913, He Was Accepted To Beijing Normal University, From Which He Graduated In 1918. Between 1918 And 1924, Lao She Was Involved As Administrator And Faculty Member At A Number Of Primary And Secondary Schools. He Was Highly Influenced By The May Fourth Movement (1919), Which " Gave Me A New Spirit And A New Literary Language. I Am Grateful To [The] May Fourth [Movement], As It Allowed Me To Become A Writer." He Went On To Serve As Lecturer In The Chinese Section Of The School Of Oriental Studies At The University Of London From 1924 To 1929. During His Time In London, He Absorbed A Great Deal Of English Literature (Especially Dickens, Whom He Adored) And Began His Own Writing. In The Summer Of 1929, He Left Britain For Singapore, Teaching At The Chinese High School. Between His Return To China In The Spring Of 1930 Until 1937, He Taught At Several Universities, Including Cheeloo University And Shandong University (Qingdao). Lao She Was A Major Popularizer Of Humor Writing In China, Especially Through His Novels, His Short Stories And Essays For Journals Like Lin Yutang's The Analects Fortnightly (Lunyu Banyuekan, Est. 1932), And His Stage Plays And Other Performing Arts, Notably Xiangsheng.On 27 March 1938, The All-China Resistance Association Of Writers And Artists (???????????) Was Established With Lao She As Its Leader. The Purpose Of This Organization Was To Unite Cultural Workers Against The Japanese, And Lao She Was A Respected Novelist Who Had Remained Neutral During The Ideological Discussions Between Various Literary Groups In The Preceding Years. In March 1946, Lao She Travelled To The United States On A Two-Year Cultural Grant, Lecturing And Overseeing The Translation Of Several Of His Novels. He Stayed In The Us From 1946 Until December 1949. During Lao She's Traveling, His Friend, Pearl S. Buck, And Her Husband, Had Served As Sponsors And They Helped Lao She Live In The U.S. After The People's Republic Of China Was Established, Lao She Rejected Buck's Advice To Stay In America And Came Back To China. Rickshaw Boy Was Translated By Buck In The Early 1940'S. Lao She Was Married To Painter Hu Jieqing; Together They Had A Son And Three Daughters. During The Cultural Revolution, He Was Condemned As A Counterrevolutionary, Paraded By The Red Guards Through The Streets And Beaten Publicly At The Door Steps Of The Temple Of Confucius In Beijing. According To The Official Record, This Abuse Left Lao She Greatly Humiliated Both Mentally And Physically, And He Committed Suicide By Drowning Himself In Beijing's Taiping Lake On 24 August 1966. His Relatives Were Accused Of Implication In His "Crimes", But Rescued His Manuscripts After His Death, Hiding Them In Coal Piles And A Chimney And Moving Them From House To House. Lao She Advocated The Use Of Baihua, The Use Of Plain Language In Written Chinese.

Novel set in a village in China in a street called "The Little Sheep Fold", following the lives and fortunes of the people of six households. Includes the government and the war with Japan. "This is the story of the people of that street, from old man Chi, whose compound housed four generations representing various facets of Chinese reaction to the "yellow storm" - to Kuan who, with his second wife, chose the road of collaboration with the enemy, even to betrayal of his neighbor Chien [.] Some of the youths chose escape into the Chinese army; others preferred the red banner; others cowered in relatively safe and innocuous jobs. There is a sense of life pushed but still going on, despite death and betrayal and black markets and austrerity programs." (Kerkus Reviews, 1951.) Shu Qingchun (1899 ? 1966), known by his pen name Lao She, was a Chinese novelist and dramatist. He is best known for his novels "Rickshaw Boy", "Mr Ma and Son" (set in London), and the satirical "Cat Country". The present book, "The Yellow Storm". is a scarce novel by a major figure in Chinese literature, and this copy is in near fine condition.
