Chinese around the world have acclaimed Lao She as the greatest of modern Chinese writers. He was born the last year of the 19th century and as a Manchu lived through the fall of the Qing dynasty and the war lord years and the war with Japan. The coming of the Communist was both a blessing and a tragedy. He was not a political writer and in his early years professed Christianity.

This book, at the time of publication, 1999, honoring Lao She's 100th birth anniversary, it was the only book on his life and much of his work. He has been translated into over seven languages and is read in public schools both in Taiwan, Singapore and mainland China. Words of preface for the book are by Lao She's son, Shu Yi, writer and Curator of the Chinese Literary Museum, Beijing and his daughter Shu Ji, writer and Curator of the Lao She Museum in downtown Beijing.

The Towery-Lao She Collection was also dedicated in 1999 at Southern Methodist University, Dallas Texas, and houses the largest selection of his work and Chinese artifacts other than in Beijing and Tokyo, where he was always honored by the Japanese.

The book is ideal for university courses in foreign language literature and is in many libraries around the world. It can be purchased from the author with special discounts for students in classes studying Chinese literature.
