Features: "The Philosophy of Lao Zhang" marks the beginning of Lao She's unique artistic personality. It depicts the lives and thoughts of people from various social strata in Beijing in the 1920s. Lao She's humor has its own distinct characteristics; it always carries an unmistakable, subtly present or vivid, tragic undertone. His humor is the kind that makes people laugh and cry, hiding a bitter taste in the smile, evoking sympathy, and showcasing rich linguistic techniques.
