Cao Yu

Cao in the late 30s/early 40s Cao Yu (, September 24, 1910 – December 13, 1996) was a Chinese playwright, often regarded as one of China's most important playwrights of the 20th century. His best-known works are ''Thunderstorm'' (1933), ''Sunrise'' (1936) and ''Peking Man'' (1940). It is largely through the efforts of Cao Yu that the modern Chinese "spoken theatre" took root in 20th century Chinese literature.

Cao Yu was the president of China's Premier Modern Drama Theatre, the chairman of the China Theatre Association (1968-1998) and established the Beijing People's Art Theatre in 1952. Cao Yu is regarded as the paramount playwright of modern Chinese drama, "enthroned as China's Shakespeare" according to ''The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama''. Provided by Wikipedia
