Identity
Luo is confirmed to have lived during the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty by the record of his contemporary, play writer Jia Zhongming (賈仲明), who met him in 1364. It states that he was from Taiyuan, while literary historians suggest other possibilities about his home, including Hangzhou and Jiangnan. According to Meng Fanren (孟繁仁), Luo can be identified in the pedigree of the Luo family, and Taiyuan is most likely his home town.
Recent research has suggested that his date of birth was between 1315-1318.

Famous quotes containing the word identity:
“Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The female culture has shifted more rapidly than the male culture; the image of the go-get em woman has yet to be fully matched by the image of the lets take-care-of-the-kids- together man. More important, over the last thirty years, mens underlying feelings about taking responsibility at home have changed much less than womens feelings have changed about forging some kind of identity at work.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Growing has no connection with audience. / Audience has no
connection with identity. / Identity has no
connection with a universe. / A universe has no
connection with human nature.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
