Since the foundation of the People's Public of China in 1949, the status of the contemporary Chinese writers had changed greatly. Some writers were deprived of the right of writing and banished from the literary arena. Some were shifted from the center of the literary arena to the brink, and some from brink to the center, part of whom could not contribute any more great works to the new literature, however.Contrary to all of the above writers, Lao She had always been among the first-class writers, who were successfully adjusted to the new born contemporary literary pattern. Unfortunately, while he wrote many masterpieces with abundant vitality such as Longxu gou, Cha guan, and zhenghongqi xia, he became the first group of people persecuted to death during the Cultural Revolution.So it is of great importance to explore the reasons of Lao She's death for a good understanding of the destiny of the writers in the new China.The essay includes three chapters. Chapter one analyses the life and experience of writing of Lao She before the foundation of the PPC, and gives the reasons why Lao She had always been in the center of the contemporary literature.Chapter two mainly shows Lao She's unique place in the modern and contemporary literature history, the basic reason for Lao She maintaining at the contemporary literary arena center status for a long time is his folk standpoint and the literature style development under the background of "Left wing" and the superiority and the significance of writing Beijing;Chapter three discusses Lao She's understanding flaw and the writing termination under the political pressure and the culture implication of " Lao She's death ".In the end of the essay, the author points out that we should find a compromising point between the governmental values and the individual pursuit of writhers, otherwise there will be tragedy to the intellectuals or even to the whole nation.
