Later's evaluation of Lao She:
Hu Feng: "Sheyu was a man who had gone through the ups and downs of life and had a deep understanding of human nature, but his 'true' Not only is he not obscured by these, but he appears to be more outstanding, more capable and cute. Therefore, he is not naive or obsessive, but is the fruit of his politeness and cheerful laughter. He often has to use humor that is not clear whether it is the truth or a joke. Now everyone probably knows that his true meaning of life shines in it, but sometimes he has to do it for the sake of national affairs, public service, and friendship. I am afraid that few people know about being sad and crying."
"Sheyu is very happy to make friends and is the most gregarious person, but at the same time he is also an artist and can be lonely."
“Sheyu has fulfilled his responsibilities. When he was asked to work hard, he worked hard, when he was asked to step forward, he stepped forward, and when he was asked to compromise, he compromised...especially for From the facts I have seen, I can only secretly admire his self-sacrifice contained in his modest words and deeds."
Shu Yi, son of Lao She: "My father in life is completely contradictory. He spends most of the day silent, contemplating writing. He is very serious and closed. But as soon as someone comes, he hears the voice of a friend. He He immediately became very lively, approachable, warm and thoughtful, and very talkative. Thinking about it carefully, my father was also very serious and diligent about life and writing; on the other hand, he was very interesting and loved life. ”
Zhu Guangqian: "According to the world literary information I have come across, the only Chinese new writers recognized in the world are Shen Congwen and Lao She."
Fan Jun commented on the importance of humor to Lao She: "In a certain In this sense, without humor, there would be no Lao She, let alone his achievement and status in literary history."
