He used to be a primary school principal (Fang Jia Hutong Primary School in Dongcheng District), a middle school teacher and a university professor (Peking University, Shandong University). Lao She is his most commonly used pen name, and there are other pen names such as Qing, Yu and Kouqing. Because Lao She was born at the end of the lunar calendar, his parents named him "Chun Qing", which may mean celebrating the arrival of spring and having a bright future. After Shu Qingchun went to school, she changed her name to Shu Sheyu. "Sheyu" is the split of the word "Shu": Sheyu and Sheyu; For me. It means "give up on yourself", that is, "forget me". The pseudonym "Lao She" was first used by him when he published the novel "Lao Zhang's Philosophy" on 1926. Add the word "old" in front of "Lao She" and remove the word "Yu" behind it, and it becomes the well-known "Lao She". This "old" does not mean old, but refers to consistent and eternal, which together means consistent and eternal "forgetting me". He published a large number of literary works under the pseudonym "Lao She", so that many people only know "Lao She" and don't know who Shu Qingchun is.
Lao She worked selflessly all her life. He is a well-deserved "model worker" in the literary and art circles. He himself said, "I have been working hard at writing all year round. Whether I publish it or not, I touch my pen every day." Because of this, he worked hard and created a large number of literary works such as Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations under One roof, Teahouse, Ermayina and Longxugou, which won high praise from "people's artists" and was deeply loved by people. "Giving up" and "Lao She" are the true portrayal of his selfless spirit all his life. He was a professor at famous universities such as cheeloo university. His major works in his life include: A Tale of Cat City, Lao Zhang's Philosophy, Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations of a Family, Unfinished under the Red Flag, Dramatic Longxugou, Teahouse and so on. There are many famous articles, such as Winter in Jinan, which have been selected into the texts of primary and secondary schools. Among them, Teahouse is very famous. The ideological trend of democracy, science and personality liberation aroused by the May 4th New Culture Movement awakened him from the life creed of "running a primary school seriously, respectfully listening to Lao She serving his mother at London University, and getting married and having children properly". The prosperity of the literary revolution made him "obsessed with new literature and art", thus starting a new starting point in his life and career. 1922 worked as a Chinese teacher in Nankai Middle School. In the same year, the first short story Jason Chung was published. From 65438 to 0924, he went to England and worked as a Chinese lecturer at Oriental College of London University. After teaching, I read a lot of foreign literary works and officially started my creative career. Three satirical novels describing the life of citizens, Lao Zhang's Philosophy, Zhao Ziyue and Ermayina, were published one after another. Since 1925, three novels have been written one after another: Lao Zhang's Philosophy vividly exposes the smoky educational circle; Zhao Ziyue's flogging edge points to the young students who praise the new school, but they are actually intoxicated; The protagonist of Two Horses is a Beijinger living in Britain. Ironically, it is still the abnormal mentality of "leaving the nest" cultivated in the soil of feudal small-scale production society. They all use crisp Beijing spoken language and humorous language to render the folk customs of Beijing, and through the analysis of the national psychology of conservatism and stealing peace, they express their worries about the fate of the motherland, showing their unique artistic personality and ideological perspective. After the three works were serialized in Novel Monthly, they attracted the attention of literary circles. 1926 Lao She joined the Literature Research Association. /kloc-in the summer of 0/929, he returned to China via Europe and Asia. During my stay in Singapore, I was inspired by the rising demand for national liberation and created a novella "Xiaopo's Birthday" reflecting the awakening of the oppressed nation. From 65438 to 0930, he returned to China, served as an associate professor at cheeloo university College of Literature, and edited Qilu Monthly. 1966 Lao She was persecuted to death by Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. On June 3rd, 1978, the relevant units held a grand ceremony to lay Lao She's ashes in Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in Beijing.
