Hu Bo

Hu Bo (1988–2017), who wrote under the pen name Hu Qian, was born in Jinan, Shandong. A graduate of the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy, he was a writer, director and screenwriter. His works include the novels Da Lie and Niu Wa, and his final film, An Elephant Sitting Still, won Best Narrative Feature at the 55th Golden Horse Awards. It should be noted, however, that the seven works held in the library—including the oral histories of Sun Yat-sen research (Guangzhou–Shenzhen volume and Shanghai–Nanjing volume), Fifteen Lectures on Psychology and History, An Expert's Guide to Accurate Acupoint Selection, Theory and Practice of Occupational Disease Exercise Rehabilitation, The Medical Collection of Zheng Bangben, and A Treasury of Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Preservation for Middle-Aged and Elderly People—span history, psychology, medicine and health preservation, and clearly differ from his personal creative direction; the attribution of authorship still needs verification. Based on the available material, public information is limited, and these works mainly reflect the directions of oral history compilation, health education and the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation knowledge. They are suitable for general readers and relevant practitioners, while the writing style and influence of these works cannot yet be systematically summarized from the available information.
