Features: Comrade Hong Shen was an pioneer and trailblazer in China's theater and film industries. He lived through three political dynasties in his lifetime: the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China. Due to this background, his life was not merely about "writing plays." He never stopped writing and publishing articles, which recorded the heart's journey of a scholar from the past, bound to the nation and the times. Gathering these articles that were not included in the Collected Works of Hong Shen and that have been scattered in archives for over fifty years, nearly untouched, is what gives rise to this Selected Writings of Hong Shen. This book is a collection of essays, including works such as "New Year's Dreams," "Burning Coal," "Random Musings in Leisure," "The Same in Art and Political Purpose," and "Humorous Contradictions—Shaw."
