He was born in Yokohama, Japan, in the tenth year of Guangxu (1884 AD). His father was a tea merchant in Guangdong and his mother was Japanese. Studied at Waseda University, Japan's top private university. Su Manshu was good at poetry and painting throughout his life. He was proficient in Chinese, Japanese, English, Sanskrit and other languages. He was versatile and made achievements in various fields such as poetry and novels. Later generations compiled his works into "The Complete Works of Manshu" (* **Volume 5).
In 1903, he became a monk in Huizhou, Guangdong, and became a Buddhist monk. He moved to Shanghai, made friends with revolutionary patriots, and wrote sketches in the "Republic of China Daily". In the 30th year of Guangxu's reign, he traveled south to Siam and Ceylon to study Sanskrit.
In the summer of 1906, Liu Guanghan, a revolutionary party member and famous sinologist, invited him to teach at Wuhu Wanjiang Middle School and Anhui Public School, where he met Chen Duxiu, an old friend in Japan. After returning to China, he still taught in Wuhu, and got acquainted with the educator Deng Shenghou, the great-grandson of the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Deng Shiru, and formed a friendship with pen and ink. After leaving Wu, there were often poems and paintings.
"The Complete Works of Su Manshu" was compiled by Mr. Liu Yazi in 1927. It collects most of Master Manshu's works, including poems, novels, miscellaneous works, translated poems, letters, translated novels, etc., as well as Zhang Taiyan, Liu Jiping Celebrities at that time, such as Chen Duxiu, Liu Yazi, etc., recall and cherish the words, poems, prefaces and postscripts.
This complete collection is the most complete one to date. The full text was transcribed and arranged by Mr. Liu Yazi. Its authoritativeness and preciousness can be imagined. It was published by Shanghai Beixin Book Company in 1947 and photocopied and published by China Bookstore in 1985. This time, it was converted into simplified Chinese characters based on the Beixin Book Company edition, and was carefully proofread. At the same time, the poems were punctuated. The original two and three volumes were combined into one volume, so that the complete work was reduced from the original five volumes to four volumes. Each volume is equipped with exquisite inserts and elegant binding. It is a rare "complete collection" so far.
