Spring Festival in Beijing: a Compilation of Lao She's Prose (classic Translation)
by Lao She
About This Novel
Lao She's prose is the antidote to anxious times. He allows us to taste life in detail and get the true flavor from it. There are no grand slogans here, just hot dumplings and the fragrance of flowers in the small courtyard. He writes about sacrifices to the stove in the twelfth lunar month, editors urging manuscripts, cats on tiled roofs, and children playing. Reading his prose is like simmering orange tea by the fire and listening to neighbors chatting about home affairs. "In troubled times, even chickens will die." He also talked about the ups and downs of people in the great era, but he always focused on ordinary daily life, precisely because it contains human dignity that is indispensable in any era.
