非常解读 Read & do

My hero

I like reading and my favourite writer is Lao She. He was one of the greatest writers in China. Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His father died in a war when he was young. He lived with his mother. His family was poor so he didn't go to school until nine years old. After he graduated (毕业) from a university in 1918, he became a teacher. Six years later, he went to

England. During his stay in England, he read lots of English works and began to write. In 1926, his first novel came out. He left England in 1929 and stayed in Singapore for half a year. He returned to Beijing in 1930 and taught in universities. He wrote lots of works, like Teahouse. Longxugou and so on. I like them all. 根据短文内容，补全下列表格。
