In 1924, recommended by colleagues, he traveled to London to serve as a lecturer in Chinese at the School of Oriental Studies (now SOAS), University of London. During this period, he wrote The Philosophy of Lao Zhang and Mr. Ma and Son, marking the true beginning of his literary career.In December 1951, due to the immense social impact of his play Dragon Beard Ditch, he was awarded the title of "People's Artist" by the Beijing Municipal People's Government.In the infamous "August 23 Incident," he was forced to kneel and was brutally beaten.
