Who was Vasili Eroshenko?

Vasili Yakovlevich Eroshenko was an anarchist writer, esperantist, linguist, and teacher. At the age of four, he contracted measles and as a result, became blind.

From 1921 to 1923, Eroshenko stayed in Beijing, China, where he taught Esperanto. He was in contact with the Chinese writer Lu Xun, who translated a play and a collection of fairytales by Eroshenko in Chinese. Eroshenko features in Lu's short story 'The Comedy of the Ducks'.
