As a representative of Beijing's literary scene, Lao She was a significant figure in the Chinese literature during the 20th century, primarily due to Beijing Melodrama – the genre he's credited with creating – which focuses on showing Beijing culture to the rest of China through vivid and concrete characters. He is best known for his novels "Rickshaw Boy" and "Four Generations under One Roof," as well as the play "Teahouse."
