Biography

Born as Ouyang Benyi (欧阳本义, Ōuyáng Běnyì), he joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1925 and was very active in revolutionary propaganda, writing numerous political dramas and screenplays, especially during the Sino-Japanese War from 1933 as a member of the Shanghai Yihua Film Company. He also held various political posts in the party and trade associations related to the revolutionary Left environment.

With the birth of the People's Republic of China, he was secretary general and vice-president of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, working closely with the head of government Zhou Enlai in the field of cultural policies.

Among his most significant works are the screenplays for the films Wanjia denghuo, directed by Shen Fu (1948), and The Adventures of Sanmao the Waif, directed by Zhao Ming and Yan Gong (1949).

In 1966 he was arrested because of the Cultural Revolution, returning to writing only in 1977, after the death of Mao Zedong. After his release from prison, he was reinstated as Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Artistic Circles and chaired its daily work. He died in Beijing in 1993 at the age of 90.

gollark: `pacman` can also search repos just fine.
gollark: I did actually run LDAP (well, openLDAP slapd) for a bit for single sign-on purposes, but dropped it because the only web-based software for managing it was written in PHP, and it was old and weirdly designed.
gollark: Yes, LDAP is pretty much the standard for user database things.
gollark: That's probably fine maybe. You should try to have a reset option if it makes sense.
gollark: I only write for my own systems and whoever is unfortunate enough to try and clone my poorly documented repos so I can use whatever.
