A brief introduction to Lao She's Four Generations Under One roof
Four Generations Under One roof was published in modern China in 1939. The novel was set in the background of Beijing's ordinary citizens, and through the story of a family's life and changes over the past 40 years, it reflected the life and predicament of a traditional Chinese family, as well as the distortion and conflict of human nature. The protagonist of the novel was Zhang. Zhang was a doctor. He and his wife had four children named Zhang Ren, Zhang Bao, Zhang Bing, and Zhang Ding. The four children all lived ordinary lives. Their status in the family declined in turn. From father to wife and then to children, they were all bound by traditional family values. In Old Zhang's family, the elders always emphasized "filial piety" to make the children obey them unconditionally. However, the children could not understand the thoughts and actions of the elders because of their lack of experience. This kind of mutual incomprehension and conflict led to contradictions and alienation between family members. Through the story of the old Zhang family, the novel reveals the various problems and difficulties in the traditional Chinese family, as well as the distortions and conflicts in human nature. At the same time, it also shows the author's thoughts and reflections on Chinese traditional culture and modern society.
