About the Author
Mr. Wu Ren (18 January 1916 - 12 July 1997) was born in Pucheng, Shanxi China. His former name is Wu Daocheng. His scholarly name is Zun Yi, pen name is Shang Wu.
The author came from a scholarly and farming family. He was an intellectual in the Chinese traditional culture and a man of new democratic ideas. When Japan invaded China, he actively participated in the national Anti-Japanese movement. In 1938, he went to Yan'an and studied at the Yan'an Anti-Japanese University. Thereafter, he successively served as secretary for Ansai County and editor for the Masses Daily in the Border Regions. In 1947, he was sent to the Northwest battlefield as a front-line journalist. In September 1949, he was sent to Xining to set up the Qinghai Daily and served as president and Editor-in-chief. Before and after the Cultural Revolution he worked in various capacities in Qinghai and Shanxi provincial governments.
During his lifetime he wrote a large amount of correspondence articles, memoirs, poems and essays. Writing was his life.
Between June 1947 and end May 1948, when Wu Ren served as a front-line journalist on the Northwest battlefield, in addition to his field reports to the media, he wrote a diary which recorded his daily experiences. This has been edited in the book "An Army Reporter's Journal from the Battlefield".
After retirement, together with Tian Fang and Fang Meng as editor-in-chief, he co-edited the book "The Yan'an Reporters", a collection of articles by more than seventy journalists who worked in the Yan'an period before 1949.
His other writings are about his family, the events he experienced and the people he met and worked with before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China; the different political movements that ensued, including the Anti-Rightist, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution and the modernization of China. These writings which compiled into books and published are: " An Army Reporter's Journal from the Battlefield", "Cherished Memories", "Sketches of Streets and Lanes", "Faith and Dedication" and "Slow Awakening".
Wu Ren's Works, Part Six "Practicing in Calligraphy" and Part Seven "A Collection of Wu Ren's Letters" are in the process of being edited.
Most of Wu Ren's works are edited from his manuscripts. His writing, which includes his traditional and modern poems, makes use of refined language and vivid descriptions. The stories of ordinary and extraordinary people, their deeds, thoughts, courage and their good fortune and misfortune, as well as his own life experiences are, in his words, "like scattered living ore containing value worth extracting and smelting."
Wu Ren's works are of precious documentary and historical value. In addition to making excellent reading material, they are also of use as reference works for a certain period in Chinese historical, sociological and political studies, as well as being examples of journalistic and literary writing.
