满族作家老舍先生曾在国外生活多年。早年,他到英国讲学期间游历了法国、荷兰、比利时、瑞士、德国和意大利等国。第二次世界大战后,他又应邀赴美国、新加坡讲学。新中国成立后,他还率领中国作家代表团出访过苏联和日本。西方的人文主义思想,为老舍及其作品打上了较深的烙印。这也是老舍创作乃至老舍研究的一个重要特点。 Manchu writer Lao She has lived abroad for many years. In his early years, he traveled to France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Italy during his lectures in the United Kingdom. After the Second World War, he was invited to go to the United States and Singapore to give lectures. After the founding of new China, he also led a delegation of Chinese writers to visit the Soviet Union and Japan. The humanism in the West lays a deep mark on Laoshe and his works. This is also an important feature of Lao She’s creation and even Lao She’s research.
