Qu Bo (; 1923–2002) was a Chinese novelist. His name was also translated as Chu Po.〔("Chu Po" ) seen in an entry in the NLA catalogue〕 Qu (), the family name, has meanings of curve, melody and tune. Bo () stands for ripples and waves. His first book ''Tracks in the Snowy Forest''〔 (林海雪原)〔(China Book )〕 made him one of the most popular authors at the time.〔http://www.chinatoday.com.cn/English/e2007/e200702/p14.htm# Zeng Zhennan: Seeking Life and Advancing with It, China Today〕 ==Life== Born in Zaolinzhuang Village (),〔http://baike.baidu.com/view/10076.htm#2 Baidu article 作家曲波, 山东黄县人〕 Huang County (now Longkou), at the north-east coast of Shandong province, Qu Bo’s early education was through a private school where he started to gain his sound knowledge of Chinese classical literature and succinct language skills. His father, Qu Chunyang () and mother, Qu Liushi () owned a small business of cotton dyeing, which failed when western textiles poured into China. In 1938, at the age of 15, he left home and fought in the war against the Japanese invasion (Second Sino-Japanese War). His name was changed from his childhood name Qu Qingtao () into Qu Bo by the officials of the Eighth Route Army. Qu Bo had further education at the Counter-Japanese Military and Political University in Shandong and became a journalist of an army newspaper, The Progress. The army turned into the People's Liberation Army after the Japanese surrendered, and Qu Bo continued to battle in the Chinese civil war in the northeast of China, protecting the regional civilians from robbery and killings by the regional bandits and brigands. In the army, he served as a young literacy teacher, a political commissar and finally a colonel. In 1946 he married Liu Bo () who was a head nurse of a hospital at the same army regional headquarters. During the communist regime after 1949, Qu Bo worked in the railway industry and the Ministry of Machinery until his retirement, and lived in Beijing for the rest of his life. Qu Bo was an active member of the China Writers’Association,〔http://www.chinawriter.com.cn/zgzx/ the Chinese Writers’ Association〕 and was recognised as a Chinese contemporary writer〔http://www.chinawriter.com.cn/zjcd/ Dictionaries by the Chinese Writers’ Association〕 in the history of Chinese Literature. He had, however, never stopped his full-time industrial management jobs and only wrote books and articles during his spare time.〔http://www.china.com.cn/chinese/feature/182105.htm 王雅丽: 不以作家自居的曲波, 文艺报 (The Arts http://www.chinawriter.com.cn/zywxqk/wyb/), 2002年7月20日星期六〕 He visited Russia, Pakistan and England as an author as well as industrial director.
