Features: Lao She, a masterful and wise writer of the 20th century Chinese and even world literary scene, arrives with his rich "Beijing flavor." In his artistic world, discovery is always fresh: the persistent yet hopeless dreams of Xiangzi, the tragic and sorrowful life of Yueyaren, the weathered yet dignified scenery of the ancient capital—all will leave you with a mix of regret and life reflections, stirring your heart, alerting your senses, and prompting deep contemplation.
The highlight of the elective courses is one of the most profound reforms brought by the General High School Chinese Curriculum Standards (Experimental Edition) to high school Chinese courses. To meet the urgent need for offering high school Chinese elective courses, the Center for Chinese Language and Overseas Chinese Language Education at Beijing Normal University, in collaboration with Renmin Literature Press, has jointly launched the "High School Chinese Elective Course Resource Series." Based on rigorous research and expert deliberation, the selected titles, the "course design" jointly developed by scholars and experienced curriculum developers, and Renmin Literature Press's accumulated publishing resources and brand advantages, have effectively ensured the authority, reliability, and practicality of this series. The "High School Chinese Elective Course Resource Series" can be used in conjunction with compulsory and elective textbooks of various versions, can serve as standalone elective course textbooks, and is also highly suitable for students' extracurricular reading and as reference materials for teachers.
This book selects short stories and dramatic works by Lao She, including "My Whole Life," "The Moonlight Shadow," "Under the Red Banner," "Liu Family Compound," "Taking Office," "Rickshaw Boy (Excerpt)," and "Teahouse." Each work is preceded by a course design, divided into four parts: background knowledge, learning activity design, teaching and evaluation suggestions, and references.
