Shào Bīnrú 邵彬儒 was a Cantonese writer active in Guǎngzhōu (Guangzhou) approximately in the 1850s–1870s. No independent biographical record has been identified; no CBDB entry exists for him, and no other source provides details of his dates, native place, examinations, or official career. What can be inferred from his two published collections comes from the authorial preface (自序) to the first collection of Súhuà Qīngtán 俗話傾談 (KR4k0232), where he identifies himself as a man of letters who composes moral tales in the Cantonese vernacular for the instruction and entertainment of his fellow citizens.
He is the author of two collections of Cantonese-vernacular short fiction: Súhuà Qīngtán Yījí 俗話傾談一集 (KR4k0232) and Súhuà Qīngtán Èrjí 俗話傾談二集 (KR4k0231). These are among the earliest known works of sustained prose fiction systematically written in the Cantonese dialect (廣州話 Guǎngzhōuhuà), rather than in the standard Mandarin-based vernacular of most Ming-Qīng popular fiction. Both collections were printed in Guǎngzhōu, probably in the 1860s. The preface of the first collection states that his aim was to compose morally instructive stories in an idiom that all listeners — including women and the uneducated — could readily understand and be moved by.
