About the author
Zheng Guanglu is a Chinese author whose work focuses on the local history and folk culture of Sichuan and the wider Bashu region. Public information about him is limited, and details such as his birthplace, dates, and professional career remain unclear. Judging from his three published books, he has long been interested in Sichuan's historical anecdotes and popular traditions. "Old Stories of Chengdu" and "Old Stories of Sichuan" use an essayistic style to revisit local lore, covering urban change, everyday life, and notable figures, with a strong emphasis on archival recovery and nostalgia. "The Marvels of Bashu Martial Arts" turns to the origins and legends of martial arts in the region, combining a sports perspective with local cultural history. Drawing on local documents and oral accounts, his plain, readable writing suits general readers interested in Sichuan's history and customs.
