What kind of spirit did Lao She’s life experience at the bottom endow him with?

Lao She’s lower-class life experience endowed him with a spirit of humanitarian sentiment. ?

1. Creative themes

Most of Lao She’s works are based on citizens’ lives. He is good at depicting the life and destiny of the urban poor, especially the conservative and backward middle- and lower-class citizens who are soaked in feudal patriarchal concepts, in the midst of national conflicts and class struggles, and under the impact of new historical trends. The ambivalence of confusion, hesitation, loneliness, and the ridiculous behavior of being in a dilemma and at a loss.

He likes to reflect common social conflicts through ordinary scenes, and his brushstrokes often extend to the exploration of the national spirit or the reflection on the destiny of the nation, allowing people to taste the severity and heaviness of life through lightness and humor. The brightly colored rendering of natural scenery and the meticulous description of customs and human feelings add to the life and interest of the work.

2. Language style

Lao She’s language is vulgar and refined, and is both elegant and vulgar. Lao She said: "No master of language art is isolated from the masses, and no such master records the people's language without processing it." Therefore, the language of the characters in the work is refined Beijing vernacular. The "vulgar" language of his works is based on meticulous thinking and research.

Character evaluation and literary awards:

1. Character evaluation

Sheyu is a person who has experienced the ups and downs of life and has a deep understanding of human nature. But instead of being obscured by these, his "reality" becomes more prominent, more impossible and more adorable. Therefore, he is not naive or oblivious, but a fruit set off by complex branches and leaves.

He is polite and polite, and when he talks and laughs, he often has a sense of humor that makes it hard to tell whether it is the truth or a joke. Now everyone probably knows that his true meaning of life shines in it, but sometimes he has to shed tears for national affairs, public affairs, and friendship. I am afraid that few people know this.

2. Literary Awards

In order to commemorate Mr. Lao She and encourage the creation of outstanding literary and artistic works, the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Lao She Literary and Art Foundation established the Lao She Literary Award in 1999. This award mainly It rewards the creations of Beijing-based authors and outstanding works published in Beijing, and is selected every two to three years.
