When Lao She was teaching in cheeloo university, a professor often went to his home to chat. Fortunately, Lao She told a few jokes after dinner and made his friends laugh their heads off.
One day, a professor came to his house to chat again, and Lao She told a handy little joke. The professor just smiled, but mistakenly put salt into the coffee cup as sugar. After he found out, he didn't want to take out the garbage, so he put sugar in the salty coffee again, so a good cup of coffee was turned into salty, sweet and tasteless coffee by Lao She's humor.
2. The inexplicable laughter by the lake
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, yenching university President Lu Zhiwei invited Lao She to give a speech at the school. The teachers and students in the auditorium were full of potholes.
After President Lu gave a brief introduction to the participants, Lao She said slowly, "I thought I applied for the university, but I was not admitted. Maybe the professors haven't discovered my genius at that time! "
These opening remarks made the audience burst into laughter.
This lasso is really a bit around the neck.
In the early 1950s, a literary and art unit held a literary lecture in the Youth Palace on East Chang 'an Avenue, and invited Lao She to give a lecture. When talking about some translated works, Lao She cited Julius Fucik's Report under the gallows as an example.
He said: "At present, some translators love to use foreign grammar in translation, which makes it difficult for readers to understand." He went on to list that some people translated the title of Fu Qike's novels into "Report on Lasso Around the Neck". As he spoke, he made an image gesture and said, "It's a bit of a neck twist", which made the audience laugh for a long time.
Extended data
Lao She, formerly known as Shu Qingchun, was born in beginning of spring in the lunar calendar. His parents named him "Chun Qing", which means to celebrate the arrival of spring and have a bright future. After school, I changed my name to Shu Sheyu, which means "give up on yourself", that is, "forget me".
China is a modern novelist, writer, language master and people's artist. He is the first writer in New China to win the title of "People's Artist". Representative works include Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations of a Family, Teahouse and so on.
Lao She worked selflessly all her life. He is a well-deserved "model worker" in the literary and art circles. 1966, Lao She was forced to sink into Taiping Lake in Beijing due to vicious attacks and persecution during the Cultural Revolution.
Most of Lao She's works focus on citizen life. He is good at describing the life and fate of the urban poor, especially the conservative and backward middle and lower class citizens who are soaked by feudal patriarchal ideology under the impact of ethnic contradictions and class struggles and new historical trends. The ambivalence of confusion, hesitation and loneliness, and the ridiculous behavior of being in a dilemma and being at a loss.
He likes to reflect common social conflicts through ordinary daily scenes, and his brushwork often extends to the excavation of national spirit or the thinking of national destiny, which makes people taste the seriousness and heaviness of life from relaxed humor.
In the history of modern literature, Lao She's name is always closely related to the citizens and the theme of Beijing.
As a great man, the social reality he reflected may not be broad enough, but within the scope he described, he combined history with reality, from the natural scenery throughout the year, the social atmosphere and customs of different times to the joys and sorrows and subtle mentality of all kinds of people, colorful and vivid, forming a complete world full of "Beijing flavor". This is a special contribution of Lao She in the history of modern literature. ?
Another feature of Lao She's works is that it shows a distinct anti-imperialist and patriotic theme.
In Lao She's works, imperialist aggression crimes are often directly exposed, and their economic, cultural and religious infiltration and racial discrimination are described to the people of China from different aspects. He showed national awakening, praised national integrity, and attacked foreign slaves who showed humility and unwise in the face of these invasions and infiltration. 1960 is the 60th anniversary of the Boxer Rebellion, so he wrote the drama "Shenquan", which reproduces the heroic scene of Beijingers fighting against Eight-Nation Alliance.
Lao She's Teahouse and Longxugou laid a unique style of Beijing People's Art and founded Beijing People's Art Theatre Academy. Longxugou is the foundation work of the Theatre Academy of Beijing People's Art Theatre. The script establishes a realistic and vivid foundation for the performance, emphasizing the creation of vivid images from life.
This has played a fundamental and key role in China's drama career and the growth of Beijing people's arts. On this basis, the gradually formed Beijing People's Art Theater style has been inherited by the directors and actors of Beijing People's Art and has been used to this day.
