| Writer, born in Chengdu, Sichuan, SWC China. He studied in Shanghai and Nanjing, and also in France (1927–9), and became an enthusiastic anarchist. His major trilogy (Family, 1931, Spring, 1938, and Autumn, 1940) attacked the traditional family system, and was immensely popular with the younger generation. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) he was purged and punished, and compelled to do manual work. He re-emerged in 1977, and published a collection of essays about his experience entitled Random Thoughts (1979). |
