About this person
Eloping with a woman because their same-surname relationship was taboo in their community, he resided in Japanese-occupied China - Shenyang and Beijing - between 1938 and 1946. He died of pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 44 in Meinong whilst revising his last and possibly finest work, a novella entitled "Rain".
