Key to Exercise IV
    As the 20th-century nears its end, only a handful
among China's writers can be clearly seen as to                1              
have had a creative center  strong that they could            2       so     
overcome challenges and forging a united and enduring        3     forge   
body of true rich and original work. Among                    4     truly     
them is Shen Congwen. Shen was born in the western        5              
part of Hunan in 1902  a family with military traditions    6       to     
going back to several generations. The                    7       to     
region in which he grew up was in an area of wild            8       in     
rivers, hills and forests, a place  little influence                9     where   
from the east coast urban centers had penetrated.            10              
after a brief stint in an armed academy, Shen was            11     military   
assigned at 15 to a regiment stationing in a Hunan            12   stationed   
country town: there he mainly acted clerical work.            13   performed 
    The regiment supposed task was to keep the peace        14   regiment's 
and cleanse the surrounding areas off bandits, but            15       of     
military action was more sporadic, and Shen had            16     more   
ample time to observe at the minutiae of military            17       at     
life, as well as the soldiers' responses to the                    18              
civilians nearby. He also noticed carefully the                19     noted     
rhythms of the life of the Tujia and Miao tribal                20       the     
peoples who armed, fished and hunted in the surrounding        21     farmed   
countryside. In 1922 he settled to Beijing,                    22       in     
decided to be a writer. By 1935 he had completed            23   determined 
35 volumes of works: short stories, essays,                    24     worked   
novels and translations of folk songs and rural                25 transcriptions 
tales.
    Shen is unusual for Chinese writers in his refusal        26     among   
to be political. If politics impinges  all on                    27       at     
his work, it is only to set the scenery, and the                28     scene   
details are always left in hazy. What absorbs him            29       in     
is humane dignity and genuine emotion - the ways            30     human   
that men and women  capable of responding to each        31       are     
other, and the ways that those response relate to            32     responses 
their culture's past and present. Shen is  expert                33       an     
on loss. This can be seen in many  his finest stories,        34       of     
such as "The Husband", "Guishen" and "Sansan".
