About the author

Song Zhidi was a modern Chinese writer whose life and educational background are not well documented in publicly available sources, and the main basis for understanding him is his surviving works. Two of his works are included here, one involving drama and the other documentary literature, indicating that his writing spans both theater and reportage. Song Zhidi's Plays (Unannotated Edition) shows him engaged in playwriting, with works presented in dramatic form for readers to read directly. Following in the Footsteps of Red Army Soldiers (One Hundred Red Classics) belongs to documentary literature, taking the traces of Red Army soldiers as its subject and bearing clear characteristics of Red-themed writing. The two works are classified respectively as classic works and documentary literature, reflecting his practice in different genres. Because verifiable materials are limited, his complete life, full body of work, and place in literary history require further investigation, and readers may gain a sense of his writing through his works.
