Xiong Foxi

Xiong Foxi (Chinese: 熊佛西; 1900 − 26 October 1965) was an American-educated Chinese playwright famous for his experimental drama in the Ding County, Hebei Province (1932–37). His ambition was creating the peasants' drama of educative value. One of the plays, Sleeping on Brushwood and Tasting Gall (Woxin changdan) popularized the topic of "national humiliation" through the image of Goujian, the Yue king of the Spring and Autumn period. He was the first President of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Xiong.
