The Creative Background of Four Generations under One roof

The creation of four generations under one roof began at 1944. Lao She started writing novels from 194 1, which was the fifth year of the fall of Beiping. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has entered the stage of strategic stalemate. Under the situation that the whole people are fighting against the enemy and sharing weal and woe, literature presents a unified pace and a general upsurge of patriotism. In this environment, Lao She came up with the idea of writing an anti-Japanese war novel, but it was shelved for lack of suitable theme.

It was not until 1944 that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of counterattack that Lao She thought of a complete novel framework from his wife's experience, so he began to write this novel in the capital Chongqing. The writing of the novel lasted for four years, during which the author won the Anti-Japanese War and was invited to give lectures abroad. It was not until 1948 that Lao She finished this million-word novel in America.
