Shen Fu (; 26 December 1763 – after 1825), courtesy name Sanbai (Chinese: 三白), was a Chinese writer of the Qing Dynasty, best known for his autobiography Six Records of a Floating Life.
Shen Fu was born in Changzhou (长洲, in Suzhou, Jiangsu province) in 1763. He was known as a great writer and wrote one of the best known descriptions of everyday life during the Qing Dynasty, Six Records of a Floating Life. In this text, which was completed in 1807, Shen Fu describes the gentle personality of his wife, Chen Yun (Chinese: 陈芸), and his love for her. He also chronicles the rejection of Chen Yun by his parents and her untimely death. Shen Fu was a government clerk, a yamen private secretary.
The work is considered a great classic of Chinese literature.[1]
