Michael Ostheimer , research associate at the Institute of Modern German and Comparative Literature at the Technical University of Chemnitz, in the Neue Zürcher Newspaper a detailed and well worth reading articles about the founder of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun - written (1881 1936). The article sums up to a life and work of Lu , especially his most famous text, "The Diary of a Madman. Ostheimer also draws a line to modern Chinese writers, Lu develop anthropology and social criticism, especially here Mo Yan (b. 1955). I myself have read Lu Xun with a very large profit and I can therefore only connect Ostheimer, when he says:
[...] Today is the face of increasing economic and political importance of China in the West a backlog to deal with the Chinese culture. Anyone who thinks they can ignore the cultural system of the most populous country, overlooks the fact that our ideas about politics, morality and economics resting of itself on a historical-cultural base that is far from immutable. Just Lu Xun's literary work is to understand China's need for cultural opening and the accompanying desire for an independent modern and at the same time get a feel for what to cultural and mental traditions well in the future under the surface of a scientific and technical modernization should live on.To read more go here's !
