Lao She wrote the first page in Beibei

"Mr. Qi is not afraid of anything except that he will not be able to celebrate his eightieth birthday. "This is the first sentence of the novel "Four Generations Under One Roof" by the famous writer Lao She.

Today, the first page of the manuscript of "Four Generations Under One Roof" written with a brush lies on the display table of Lao She's former residence (Four Generations Under One Roof Memorial Hall) in Beibei District. Although the manuscript paper is yellowed, the neat handwriting and careful corrections demonstrate Lao She's cherishment of this work.

The staff of the Beibei District Museum told us that in 1938, Lao She came to Chongqing; in 1943, his wife Hu Jieqing came to Beibei with their three children, and the family settled at No. 24 Cai'e Road, Beibei , which is today’s Four Generations Memorial Hall, until it left in 1946. Hu Jieqing's various experiences while staying in Peking after the fall of Japan became the best material for Lao She to create "Four Generations Under One Roof" with more than 880,000 words.

At that time, Lao She was often dizzy due to anemia and had just had his appendix removed, but he still insisted on writing. In this small house, which he nicknamed "Mouse House" because of the large number of rats, he finished writing the first and second parts of "Four Generations Under One Roof".
