On November 3, 1987, Mr. Liang Shiqiu, a famous Chinese litterateur, passed away in Taiwan due to illness. Mr. Liang Shiqiu was born in Beijing and studied in the United States in his early years. After returning to China, he taught at Tsinghua University, Peking University and other universities, and engaged in translation work. He was one of the main players of New Moon magazine in the early 1930s. In 1949, he went to Taiwan to serve as dean of the School of Arts at Taiwan Normal University and founded the Taiwan English Teaching Center and the English Research Institute. He has a lot of research on English literature and has written "A History of English Literature" and "Selected Works of English Literature". His prose is also very famous. He has written "Essays of Yashe". The "Far Eastern English-Chinese Dictionary" edited by him is popular among English lovers. Liang Shiqiu was born in an old official family and was accustomed to an aristocratic life since he was a child. He was banned from hunger and cold at the lower levels. His conservative ideas go against the trend of history. During his fierce debate with "League of the Left" in the early 1930s, he became notorious as a "lost dog" and a "running dog of capitalists." By the 1940s, he had rewritten prose sketches and reached a high artistic level. His "Essay of Yashe" had been reprinted more than 50 times in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This book established his status as a master of prose. In his later years, Liang Shiqiu moved to the United States and obtained a long-term residence permit, but he never became a citizen of the United States. His patriotism and homesickness made him give up his "green card" in the United States and return to Taipei to live his old age. Since then, he has written many essays missing his hometown to express his attachment to the mainland. As a modern essayist, Liang Shiqiu's calm, understanding and humorous character has given rise to a unique style, which is especially suitable for the mood of middle-aged people. In terms of artistic treatment, he handled complex and simple, shades, literary and white, and refined customs very appropriately, giving him a dignified demeanor. Liang Shiqiu and his father Liang Xianxi and Cheng Jishu met Han Jingqing at the 85th birthday banquet while reading newspapers in the study room of their residence in Andong Street, Taipei
