Xia Yan

Xia Yan (夏衍)(October 30 1900 - February 6 1995) was a Chinese playwright and screenwriter.

Xia entered Zhejiang First-rank Industrial College (浙江甲种工业学校, part of Zhejiang University) in 1915 [http://www.zju.edu.cn/~piclib/fazhan/tuku/rw02.htm] .

Amongst the dozens of plays and screenplays penned by Xia Yen, the most renowned works include "Under the Eaves of Shanhai" (1937) and "The Fascist Bacillus" (1944). He rose to the position of vice-minister for culture by the 1960s but later spent eight years in prison following the Cultural Revolution. Today the Xia Yan Film Literature Awards are named in his honour.
