Lu Hsun's Vision of Reality
Lu Hsün’s Vision of Reality delves into the revolutionary shifts in modern Chinese fiction during the early 20th century, spotlighting Lu Hsün (pen name of Chou Shu-jen) as a pioneering figure in the short story genre. His seminal collections, Call to Arms (1923) and Wandering (1926), are celebrated as enduring classics, encapsulating the socio-political upheavals of the time. The book contextualizes Lu Hsün’s works within the rich cultural and historical backdrop of his hometown, Shaohsing, a city renowned for its clever inhabitants and steeped in memories of rebellion and resilience. Through vivid depictions of Shaohsing’s traditions, landscapes, and the remnants of the Taiping Rebellion, the study connects Lu Hsün’s literary vision to his roots, offering readers insights into the shaping of his critical perspective on Chinese society. This comprehensive introduction serves both seasoned scholars and new readers, balancing an accessible narrative with in-depth analysis of Lu Hsün’s stories and their broader implications. It combines personal history, cultural critique, and literary examination, illustrating how Lu Hsün’s upbringing in a storied yet turbulent environment influenced his masterful storytelling and unflinching critique of Chinese tradition. Through translations, detailed descriptions, and scholarly commentary, the book invites readers to appreciate the depth of Lu Hsün’s contributions to modern Chinese literature and the universal themes embedded in his tales of human struggle and societal change.

Three Stories
An advanced reader in modern Chinese, giving a text in a modern written Chinese, reproduced photographically from an original Chinese edition, together with an introduction, bibliography and notes on difficult points of language and allusions to the cultural and historical context. Lu Hsün (1881–1936) was important both politically and from the literary standpoint. He crystallized in his writings the vague aspirations of the generation of progressive young Chinese in the first cultural revolution of the 1920s; and he was a pioneers in the formulation of a new literary style which broke away from the sacrosanct formulae of classical Chinese. This reader gives three of his short stories. Mr Kratochvil's English introduction comments generally on the difficulties facing Chinese writers who wished to find a style related more closely to spoken Chinese, and then considers the three stories here reproduced.

Lu Hsün and his Predecessors
