Lu Xun
(1881-1936) was
the first and
most prominent
figure in modern
Chinese
literature. His
groundbreaking
fiction and
essays exerted a
vast influence
that touched on
every aspect of
China in the
modern world.
Professor Chou
will speak about
this towering
literary figure,
what he wrote,
why his writings
were so
influential, and
what his
relevance is in
today’s world.
We will see him
as the Chinese
view him and
also ask what
features caused
them to place
him at the
pinnacle of the
literary world. |
