Selected Works of Lao She: Four Generations Under One Roof/老舍作品精选集：四世同

Composed by the master Lao She, this monumental novel-running to over a million words-is widely regarded as one of the great achievements of modern Chinese fiction.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Set in Beijing during the Japanese occupation, this novel follows the Qi family-four generations living under one roof-as they navigate the trials of war. Through the lives of the residents of Little Sheep Lane, the story paints a vivid and moving portrait of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times-their struggles, their compromises, their moments of cowardice and of courage. It is a tribute to the resilience and moral strength of the Chinese people, and a sweeping epic that honors their vital contribution to the Allied victory in World War II. This is a story of heroism and heartbreak, of dignity in the face of despair, and of a nation that refused to surrender.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Lao She (1899-1966), born Shu Qingchun in Beijing, was one of modern China's greatest novelists and a true master of the Chinese language.
