"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. In this historical background, the author uses his own birth and growth as a line to show readers the changes in social customs and history, especially the mental state and living habits of the bannermen in the late Qing Dynasty at that time. Each character comes to life in Lao She's writings: the dutiful but embarrassed father, the kind but conservative shopkeeper Wang, the capable but confused second brother Fuhai, the poor but arrogant aunt, the fastidious but living in a trap of fastidiousness... In the turbulent torrent of history, they have moved towards a fate that seems accidental but is inevitable.

The story in this book is absurd but unremarkable, and the plot seems to be non-existent. It mainly tells a series of major events that happened in a small coastal town in Norway. With the arrival of the maverick misanthrope and agriculturist Najir, cracks appear in the finely woven social relations of this coastal town. With a slightly cold and sensitive insight into human nature, Najir touches the "mimosa-like" sensitive zone deep in the human heart. He uses his absurd words and deeds to reflect the dark nature and repressed desires of these small town residents. Every small town character seems to be a metaphor for a type of people in reality. These people are not terribly wrong but insensitive. They have problems of one kind or another and are difficult to redeem. Therefore, this visitor from the sea had to live in a state of not being understood and trapped. After being frustrated in love and being looked down upon by society, he became insane and jumped into the sea without missing a trace.

Missionary Carlson came to the town to preach, preaching that hard times were God's punishment for people, and asking people to believe in religion and repent. Soon after, the cement company in the city wanted to build a factory on the seaside, so small farmers sold their land and joined the ranks of day laborers. Small farm owners and day laborers who had lost their land flocked to the construction sites to work, and more workers of different types of work came to the town from all directions. They not only brought new ways of life, but also new concepts and socialist ideas. The towering new factory building is about to be built.

The two works "Train Collection" and "Anemia Collection" are both based on the background of the Anti-Japanese War. The writing style is cordial and emotional. They both describe the people at the bottom and criticize the bureaucratic class. It also has strong practical significance at the moment and resonates with readers. In 1938, Lao She was elected as the executive director and director of the general affairs department of the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association. He presided over daily meetings internally, represented the "Arts Association" externally, and was fully responsible for the leadership of the association. In July of the same year, he moved west to Chongqing with the Literary and Art Association until the Anti-Japanese War achieved complete victory. Lao She worked with enthusiasm, patience and meticulousness, uniting writers and artists from all walks of life and working together to promote the literary and artistic activities of the Anti-Japanese War. He used the pen as a weapon to create various literary and artistic forms. The works of this period are included in these two collections of short stories.

Included in this collection are six short stories and one medium, namely "Time-honored Brand", "Soul-Breaking Gun", "Stories Heard", "Old Tragedies in the New Era", "Let's Talk About the House", "New Han Muled" and "Ai Qi". These stories were all written in Qingdao. It was named Clam Algae because Lao She fell in love with it after seeing it at the seaside.

Lao She mostly describes a series of images of lower-class citizens. He sympathizes with and cares for the sufferings of the lower-class people with a deep, worried and thoughtful look, showing his concern for the fate of the nation. At the same time, there is a sense of humor and irony mixed in. His works had a significant impact on modern literature.

The story is simple and ingenious, and revolves around several staff members of the Beijing Finance Office and their families. It describes the daily life of petty bureaucrats and citizens during the Republic of China, and gently satirizes their perfunctory attitude towards life. The vulgarity of the common people, the stubbornness of traditional concepts, the superficiality of modern youth, and the resistance of noble people to the evil of mediocrity are all vividly depicted by Lao She in a few strokes. But Lao She is not mean. His humor is honest, gentle and calm. He sympathizes and understands everyone. But what is even more rare is that this kind of sympathy and understanding is transparent and clear. It does not confuse good and evil, is not cynical and nihilistic, and does not play with the world. This is the real Chinese literature, the real spiritual aristocracy.

It shows the ideological outlook, hobbies, life scenes, etc. Of the citizenry at that time, and builds its own unique artistic world.

"Lao Zhang's Philosophy" is Lao She's early work, first published in "Novel Monthly" in 1926, and first published by the Commercial Press in 1928. It is the starting point for the formation of Lao She's unique artistic personality. The protagonist Lao Zhang is a villain in old Beijing. He holds three professions: "soldier, scholar, and business", and believes in three religions: "Hui, Ye, and Buddhism"; he believes in the "money-based and trinity" philosophy of life. The connotation and essence of the so-called "Lao Zhang's philosophy" is naked philistine philosophy. The novel uses the main plot of Lao Zhang to seize money for himself and resorts to harsh means to break up two pairs of lovers, criticizing this philistine philosophy.

"The Collection of Yinghai" (1935, Renjian Shuwushe) This book is a collection of Lao She's short stories, including "Taking Office", "Sacrifice", "Liutun's", "The Last Dollar", "The Romance of Old Age", and "Caterpillar" The 10 works of "The Good Man", "Neighbors", "Crescent Moon" and "Sunshine" are must-sips for Lao She lovers.

The two works "Train Collection" and "Anemia Collection" are both based on the background of the Anti-Japanese War. The writing style is cordial and emotional. They both describe the people at the bottom and criticize the bureaucratic class. It also has strong practical significance at the moment and resonates with readers. In 1938, Lao She was elected as the executive director and director of the general affairs department of the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association.

"Crescent Moon" is a novella written by Lao She in 1935 and made into a movie of the same name in 1986. The novel uses Yue Yaer as a clue and reflects the living conditions of China's urban poor in the first half of the 20th century through the experiences of two generations of mother and daughter becoming prostitutes. But Lao She did not want to simply criticize the ugliness of society and human nature at that time, but to show readers the process of how the ugly reality destroyed the innocent heart step by step.

The main character in the play "The Problem of Face", Secretary Tong Jingming, is worried about "not losing his identity because of the war of resistance" and "not being annoyed to death because of an official matter." He is not doing his job properly and is careless about his work. When he finally lost face and was dismissed from his post after having had "face problems" all his life, what he considered was to ask the doctor for a "respectable" suicide method to save his "face." The "face problems" of other characters in the play are different. Lao She's satire on these characters was not only another criticism of the bad nature of the people, but also a lash against the corrupt style of the Kuomintang bureaucracy during the War of Resistance.

"Under the Red Flag" is the posthumous work of Lao She's unfinished autobiographical novel, with a total of eleven chapters and one hundred and sixty-four pages in manuscript. On August 24, 1966, Lao She drowned himself in Taiping Lake in Beijing. This work and his life came to an abrupt end. Lao She is a bannerman and belongs to the "Zhenghong Banner" of the "Eight Banners of Manchuria", which is also the origin of the title of the book. Lao She started writing from his birth, which was the end of the Qing Dynasty, when society was in turmoil and people's livelihood was in decline. Seeing the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the pampered Eight Banners disciples were also struggling... With the rise of the Boxer Rebellion and the arrival of foreigners, the peaceful life of the Beijing people was broken. Each character came to life in Lao She's writings: the honest father, the kind and upright shopkeeper Wang, the mean aunt, the smart and capable second brother Fuhai, the arrogant Pastor Niu... These people of the Qing Dynasty who were in the turbulent historical torrent all moved towards different fates...

"Xiaopo's Birthday" takes Xiaopo, a boy living in Nanyang (that is, Singapore), and his sister Xianpo as the protagonists, and tells all kinds of interesting things in Xiaopo's life. The second half of the story is completely Xiaopo's dream, and at the same time it implies the author's ridicule of the various practical shortcomings of Nanyang society. The first half of the story is a real scene, and the second half is a dream. "It's a mixture of fantasy and reality." The writer borrowed a child's tone and eyes to "make a small satire on the affairs of Nanyang", hinting at a "so-called thought that does not belong to the children's world", which is to "unite the weak and small nations of the world to work together." The story is filled with wild imagination and childlike innocence, making it very interesting to read.
