Lao She, formerly known as Sheyu, also has pseudonyms such as Qing, Hongse and Moth. Because Lao She was born in beginning of spring in the lunar calendar, his parents named him "Chun Qing", which may mean celebrating the arrival of spring and having a bright future. After school, I changed my name to Shu Sheyu, which means "give up on yourself", that is, "forget me". Manchu in Beijing is a red flag man. ?
Lao She worked selflessly all her life. He is a well-deserved "model worker" in the literary and art circles. 1966, Lao She was forced to sink into Taiping Lake in Beijing due to vicious attacks and persecution during the Cultural Revolution.

Extended data:
1899 On February 3rd, Lao She was born in a poor family in Beijing. His father was killed in the artillery fire in Eight-Nation Alliance the following year, while his mother sewed and washed clothes as a handyman.
Lao She grew up in the rascal complex in Beijing, and was influenced by the joys and sorrows of poor people struggling on the edge of the city, such as handicraft workers, small traders, inferior artists and prostitutes. He walked out of the complicated street life and finally wrote four generations under one roof, Camel Xiangzi, Teahouse and other immortal works of China literature in the 20th century.
Compared with many literary masters who grew up in the same period, Lao She's unique background always makes his works have a unique wit, humor, complexity and excitement. 1On August 24th, 966, Lao She, who was devastated physically and mentally during the Cultural Revolution, chose to commit suicide in Beijing Taiping Lake, thus leaving the most tragic background for China literature in the 20th century.
Sun Yu, director of Lu Xun Museum, once wrote: "Among contemporary writers, no one's death makes future generations feel so sad as he (Lao She), and his tragic ambition makes all people living in poverty lose their luster." When people today try to reevaluate China writers and China literature that were "elevated" or "degraded" in the 20th century, Lao She's works are always an enduring coordinate.
The day before yesterday was the anniversary of Lao She's birth 1 10, and various commemorative activities were held in Beijing. It is understood that eight Lao She dramas will be presented on domestic stage and TV this year. At the same time, the statement that Lao She 1968 almost won the title of Nobel Prize in Literature once again attracted all kinds of speculations and statements. Yesterday, Yi Shu, the son of Lao She and former director of China Modern Literature Museum, accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter.
People's Daily Online-Yi Shu talks about Lao She's death: The Nobel Prize was originally awarded to him because his bones were particularly hard.
