Lao She, the novelist, is well known for his humorous writings, but as to the connotations, his articles bear a great deal of tragic sense. The textual structural is based on tragedies, and take on a tragic look.Lao She, in his novels, has created characters of various kinds and concerned about their tragic life. Lao She's novels are human-centered, and their life tragedies are revealed in the odds and ends of daily life as well as in the interrelationship of the human beings. Lao She describes the difficult lives of his characters—how they are compelled by the society, how they get lost in finding ways to survive, hence they get distorted and disillusioned, and tortured both physically and spiritually. In his tragic scenes, Lao She showed his concern for human nature, which were undermined by the social conventions and thus one becomes dead to reason and walks to disaster. Lao She's novels objectively describe the living status of the contemporary people and meditate with his tragic sense their fate, human nature and personality.Lao She's tragic novels hardly have any violent clashes, he presents more the life tragedies, and explains the antagonism brought by separated customs and psychics. In his plain narration of the lives of different people, Lao She presents a feminine beauty though withpent - up emotions. Lao She, by exploring the tragic life of a common people, shows his own meditation of the fate of a nation and its traditional culture.
