The Chinese author, Qin Zhaoyang (b. 1916) belongs to the "lost generation" of writers who were silenced as early as 1957, after the Hundred Flowers Movement. Although he is best known for his literary criticism in the famous article "Xianshizhuyi - guangkuo de daolu" ("Realism - the broad path"), published in Renmin wenxue (People's Literature) in September 1956,1 the most important part of his creative work consists of short stories and novels. During the 1940s and 1950s Qin produced some of his finest stories with a humour and personal tone that are unusual for mainland literature of the period.
