By Lao She

Book Overview

A classic representative novel by Lao She, authorized by the author himself. Carefully edited with detailed annotations for barrier-free reading. 老舍经典小说代表作，老舍亲定版，精编细注无障碍阅读。 Four Generations Under One Roof is divided into three volumes-Perplexity, Furtive Life, and Famine-and runs to nearly one million characters. Set in the occupied area of Beiping (now Beijing) during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the novel portrays the psychology and experiences of more than one hundred people across a dozen families, centering on four generations of the Qi family in the "Little Sheep Circle" (Xiaoyangjuan) hutong, over the eight-year period from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident (July 7, 1937) to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese aggressors in 1945. Through vivid and evocative depictions, the work offers a penetrating reflection on the "national character" of old China and the spiritual constraints imposed by feudal culture, carrying profound and multilayered significance. 《四世同堂》分《惶惑》《偷生》《饥荒》三部，近百万字，以抗战时期的北平沦陷区为背景，描写了从1937年"七七事变"到1945年日本侵略军无条件投降这八年间，北京城内"小羊圈"胡同里以祁家祖孙四代为中心的十几户人家、一百多人的心理和遭遇，作品通过传神的描绘，对老中国的"国民性"及封建文化对于人的精神束缚进行了透剔的反思，意蕴极其丰厚。
