'Lao Zhang's Philosophy' is the 1926 debut novel of Chinese author Lao She, written while Lao She was teaching at London University's School of Oriental Studies (SOS). The novel was a resounding success back in China, and encouraged Lao She to immediately write a second novel set in the same Beijing milieu, 'Zhao Ziyue', the following year.Bonnie S. McDougall, Kam Louie 'The Literature of China in the Twentieth Century' 1997 Page 116 -"The central character, Lao Zhang, is a schoolteacher who also practises usury and owns a small shop, concerned mainly with money and status. Believing that a concubine would elevate his social standing, he tries to make the sister of one of his students his concubine in settlement of a debt."
