Lu Xun's Urban Roaming: Lu Xun's Discourses from the East Asian Perspective
by W
About This Novel
This is a critical biography that retraces Lu Xun's life from the experience and perspective of traveling through East Asian cities. This book is dedicated to describing Lu Xun as a modern urban lifer who loved Hollywood movies, and explores how his works became common modern classics in East Asia and were accepted by East Asian readers. On the one hand, it focuses on Lu Xun's urban "roaming". Lu Xun spent his life in Nanjing, Tokyo, Sendai, Beijing, and Shanghai. Using a cross-cultural perspective, the author pays attention to the internal consistency between East Asia's focus on European and American new trends and the establishment of modern countries in the early 20th century and Lu Xun's personal practice. He grasps the consistency between Lu Xun's literary creation and the themes of the times, and looks at modern China from Lu Xun's perspective. On the other hand, on the basis of the above, we will further expand and deepen it, and use the method of comparative literature to explore Lu Xun's reception in Japan and even East Asia. This study of East Asia's "modern classics" is an excellent example of looking at China from outside the region.
