Qu Bo (Chinese: 曲波; pinyin: Qū Bō; 1923–2002) was a Chinese novelist. His name was also translated as Chu Po.[1] Qǔ (曲), the family name, has meanings of curve, melody and tune. Bō (波) stands for ripples and waves. His first book Tracks in the Snowy Forest[1] (林海雪原)[2] made him one of the most popular authors at the time.[3]
