hu lancheng -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- feb 28 , 1906 -- july 25 , 1981 -rrb- was a chinese writer and editor .
he was married to the novelist eileen chang from 1943 to 1947 .
during the second sino-japanese war he collaborated with the japanese , serving briefly in the propaganda ministry of the puppet government in china headed by wang jingwei in the early 1940s and publishing a literary journal , `` bitter bamboo '' in which chang published some of her work .
disagreements with colleagues in nanjing led to his departure for wuhan , where he continued supporting the regime as the editor of `` dachubao '' until 1945 .
these actions made many chinese regard him as a hanjian or traitor , and led to intense controversy regarding the value of his works -lrb- including those which were non-political -rrb- .
after the war , he went into hiding , eventually fleeing to tokyo , japan .
in the early 1970s he taught in the chinese culture university in taiwan for several years , until popular pressure forced him to return to tokyo , where he died in 1981 .
