Collection of Southern and Northern Accents
by Lu Xun
About This Novel
"Collection of Nanqiangbei Diao" is a collection of essays by Lu Xun, which contains fifty-one essays written by Lu Xun between 1927 and 1929. At that time, a scholar in Shanghai who signed his name "Meizi" attacked Lu Xun in an article "Sketches of Writers": "Lu Xun likes to speak very much, but he has a stutter, and he has a 'Southern accent and a Northern accent.'" In response, Lu Xun counterattacked: "I can't speak soft Su Bai, and I can't play a loud Beijing tune. If I don't follow the tune, I won't be popular. It's really a Southern accent." It showed that he was unwilling to follow the crowd and despised boring literati. Therefore, my husband named this collection published in March 1934 "Collection of Nanqiangbei Diao", which was a kind of self-deprecation and a mockery of Meiko.
