"Divorce" is a mature work that Lao She is personally satisfied with. It has been adapted into a movie and TV series of the same name. Readers who like Lao She's works should read this book again and again. The novel shows the living conditions of ordinary intellectuals in that period through the comic conflicts between Brother Zhang, a member of the Peking Finance Institute, and Lao Li, a citizen intellectual, on marriage and family issues. The story is simple and exquisite, and Lao She vividly depicts the vulgarity of the common people, the stubbornness of traditional concepts, and the superficiality of modern youth. But Lao She is not mean. His humor is honest, gentle and calm. He sympathizes and understands everyone.
