Features: For great writers, an infinite life is far greater than a limited natural life. "Some people are dead, but they still live." Lao She is such a person. His literary life and personal spirit are still alive, living in people's hearts, in the 20th century, and in the continuation of literary traditions of the era. In people's literary readings, cultural lives, film and television literature, and the Beijing-flavored literature of the new era, one can feel Lao She's presence and the influence he had on literature and culture at the end of the 20th century. This book places Lao She within the context of 20th-century literature, comprehensively examining the formation, development, turning points, explorations, stylistic characteristics, and underlying mechanisms of his literary world. While deepening our understanding of Lao She, it also explores the impact of various literary phenomena, trends, and forms of the 20th century on him. This is a work with innovative perspectives and significant academic value.
