Reader comments
It requires a certain degree of literary accomplishment to understand.
Every story in this book is very real and makes me feel the taste of old Beijing. The characters in Mr. Lao She's works are all very vivid, and their personalities and experiences make me feel both distressed and admired. Just like the little girl in "Crescent Moon", her strength and helplessness particularly touched me. This book is well worth reading and highly recommended!
He is worthy of being called a "people's artist", and his depictions of people from all walks of life are subtle and true. Full of criticism of society and deep sympathy for the people at the bottom. Mr. Lao She is great
