Biography
Shen was born Shen Derong (Chinese: 谌德容)[3] in Hankou, Hubei. Because of the political unrest of the time, her family moved frequently, finally settling in Chongqing. She worked as an assistant at a publishing house and studied Russian in Beijing.[1] She then worked as a translator at a radio station but was released in 1963 due to illness. In 1973, she went to live with a peasant family in Shanxi.[4]
Shen began writing in the 1970s, producing the novel The Eternal Spring (Yongyuan shi chuntian). Her story At Middle Age (Ren dao zhongnian) (1980)[4] won a literary award and was made into a movie, catapulting her into the spotlight. In 1991, she published At Old Age (Rendao Iaonian).[1]
In 1983, she wrote the essay Novels strangled in the cradle: My Senseless Literary Battles, which described her difficulties as a writer living through radical shifts in her society's ideology.[2]
Shen died on 4 February 2024, at the age of 88.[5]
