Life Events, Literary Works and the Person: Research on Lao She in the 21st Century and Its Prospects

(Abstract)

Shi Xingze

Since the beginning of the 21st century, remarkable achievements have been made in the research on Lao She. According to their different objects of study, we can divide them according to life events, literary works, and the person. These achievements can help us acquire a better understanding of Lao She and his works, as well as to re-assess the accomplishments and great value of his literary creation. At the same time, we can notice certain deficiencies, including the shortage of young scholars, as well as the lack of interdisciplinary approaches.
