Anemia Collection is a short story collection by the esteemed writer Lao She. It comprises five captivating tales: No Problem at All, Love, Lord Eight, The Little Wooden Man, and A Cartridge of Cannon Tobacco. With a down-to-earth and vivid writing style, the stories are filled with exaggerated humor, offering both entertainment and profound reflection.Written during the Anti-Japanese War, Lao She devoted himself to the literary world, aiming to awaken the slumbering Chinese spirit through his pen. The collection portrays the hardships of the common people while offering a profound satire and criticism of the indifferent bureaucrats and aristocrats. Its relevance remains significant even today.This work marks a pivotal point in Lao She’s literary journey, transitioning from his earlier anti-war novels to his later creations. It retains the propagandistic fervor of the early war period while also exhibiting a more measured shift towards his later style. It encapsulates both the "experiential writing" spirit of before the war and the "non-experiential writing" mindset that emerged afterwards, making it a highly valuable text for in-depth reading and research.When Anemia Collection was published, Lao She modestly stated in the preface, "As the author is anemic, his works are also difficult to be robust." This humorous remark from the master of humor is difficult to laugh at, instead leaving the reader with a touch of sadness.Against the backdrop of the Anti-Japanese War, the collection’s intimate writing and rich emotional depth depict both the common folk and the bureaucratic elite. Reading it today still resonates strongly, evoking a profound sense of empathy from the reader.
