Chung Li-ho
About
Zhong Lihe (Chinese: 鍾理和, otherwise spelled as Chung Li-ho, also known as Chûng Lî-fò or Tsûng Li-fô when transliterated from Hakka); November 6, 1915 – August 4, 1960, was a Taiwanese novelist. He was a Liudui Hakka (Chinese: 六堆客家人), born in Gaoshu Township, Pingtung in 1915, who migrated to Meinong (nearby and also part of the same sub-division of the Liudui 六堆, the Youdui (Chinese: 右堆 右堆; now Meinong District, Kaohsiung City) in around 1932. Eloping with a woman because their same-surname relationship was taboo in their community, he resided in Shenyang and Beijing on the Chinese mainland - but, like Taiwan, under Japanese rule at the time - between 1938 and 1946. He died of pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 44 in Meinong whilst revising his last and possibly finest work, a novella entitled "Rain" Chinese: 雨.
