Editing Lao She (section)

==Legacy==
After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Lao She was posthumously "rehabilitated" in 1978 and his works were republished. Several of his stories have been made into films, including ''[[This Life of Mine (1950 film)|This Life of Mine]]'' (1950, dir. by [[Shi Hui (actor)|Shi Hui]]), ''Dragon Beard Ditch'' (1952, dir. by [[Xian Qun]]), ''Rickshaw Boy'' (1982, dir. by [[Ling Zifeng]]), ''The Teahouse'' (1982, dir. by [[Xie Tian]]), ''The Crescent Moon'' (1986, dir. by [[Huo Zhuang]]), ''The Drum Singers'' (1987, dir. by [[Tian Zhuangzhuang]]), and ''The Divorce'' (1992, dir. by Wang Hao-wei). Tian Zhuangzhuang's adaptation of ''The Drum Singers'', also known as ''[[Street Players]]'', was mostly shot on location in Sichuan. Some of Lao She's plays have also been staged in the recent past, including ''Beneath the Red Banner'' in 2000 in Shanghai, and ''Dragon's Beard Ditch'' in 2009 in Beijing as part of the celebration of the writer's 110th birthday.

Lao She's former home in Beijing is preserved as the [[Lao She Memorial Hall]], opened to the public as a museum of the writer's work and life in 1999. Originally purchased in 1950, when it was 10 Fengsheng Lane, Naicifu, the address of the traditional courtyard house is now 19 Fengfu Lane. It is close to [[Wangfujing]], in [[Dongcheng District, Beijing|Dongcheng District]]. Lao She lived there until his death 16 years later. The courtyard contains persimmon trees planted by the writer. His wife called the house 'Red Persimmon Courtyard'.<ref>[http://www.beijing-kids.com/blog/Sisi-Chen/2015/10/28/The-Beijing-Bucket-List-Lao-She-Museum Lao She Museum]</ref>
