“It is hard to think of any other modern writer who has been so lavishly and laboriously honored by an entire nation. Even Soviet Russia's idealization of Gorki, with whom Lu Xun has often been compared, pales in scope and significance. For unlike Gorki, Lu Xun has been hailed by his country's leader not only as a great writer and intellectual but also as a great revolutionary.”
Lee provides a thorough examination of Lu Xun (1881-1936), the preeminent Chinese author, thinker, intellectual leader, and literary personage who remained scarcely known outside of Asia for most of the twentieth century.
