Li Zhun

Life
He was born the son of a Mongolian shopkeeper and postman. As a child he was introduced to classical European and Chinese literature. After only a short school visit, he worked as a shop assistant from 1943. From 1949 he worked as a postman, bank clerk and teacher. At times he was employed in the management of an agricultural production cooperative.
He was already writing pieces for a village ensemble in the 1940s. From the mid-1950s he wrote short stories, short stories and film scenarios. In particular, he devoted himself to the conflicts of rural life. The best-known text is Li Shuangshuang xiao zhuan from 1960, in which he describes the conflicts of an emancipated peasant woman. In his text Mangguo , written in 1980 , he attacks the personality cult around Mao Zedong in the form of a sharp satire .
