Features: His sketches are lively like cartoons, transparent like glass, and joyful like fingers. Most importantly, his sketches have built the style of the name Lao She: humorous and profound. He also has classic novels and plays that remain in the hearts of readers, such as Four Generations Under One Roof, Rickshaw Boy, The Moon-Crescent, My Whole Life; and plays like Teahouse and Dragon Tail Canal. He is like an old Beijing hutong, deep and narrow. As you step closer to its traces of time, you will be infected by the Beijing flavor drifting from the siheyuan. Deeper inside, they all come—your second sister, the kitten, the raindrops on the eaves, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard, Xiao Ji, Xiao Yi, Auntie, and the paintings of Baishi. They are lively and joyous, all ringing like bells. They form the precious life experiences of the writer Lao She, and all of this is too important to him. This book is a collection of classic sketches by Mr. Lao She, specially edited for the "Supporting the Construction of Community Libraries in Ten Thousand Families" project by China Social Publishing House. This year marks the 105th anniversary of Mr. Lao She's birth.
