Under the Banner of Zhenghong
by Lao She
About This Novel
This book contains two novels by Mr. Lao She, namely "Under the Red Flag" (unfinished) and "Divorce". "Under the Red Flag" is Lao She's autobiographical novel. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, social unrest and folk customs were corrupted, and the lives of the banner people became increasingly difficult. During the Gengzi period, with the arrival of the Boxer Rebellion, the seemingly peaceful lives of the obedient people in old Beijing suddenly went into trouble. Faced with the broken rivers and mountains and remaining homes, the old Beijingers who had endured the plunder could only remember this period of history in their hearts forever. "Divorce" reveals the gray lives and humble souls of ordinary people through their comic conflicts on marriage and family issues. The novel shows the uniqueness and profundity of Lao She's realist creation with its specific and vivid portrayal of the ordinary citizens of old Beijing.
