概要 Zhou Shuren (1881-1936), best known by his pen name Lu Xun, was a literary giant who left his mark on 20th-century Chinese literature, culture, and politics. Canonized as “the father of modern Chinese... literature” in mainland China, he remains highly influential today and his works are routinely included in the Western world literary canon. His image as a quintessential Chinese writer of “national allegories,” however, presents a limited view of an intellectual who actively engaged with the global circulation of ideas and texts. An accomplished scholar, cultural critic, and poet, he was also a prolific reader and lifelong translator of foreign works and wrote critical essays introducing a wide variety of foreign thinkers and writers . Why this interest in translation and world literature?
Lu Xun maintained a faith in the transformative value of translations and cultural exchange. Voices of protest from beyond one’s borders, he wrote, had the potential to awaken one’s voice and revitalize elements of native traditions that had been muted or submerged. His essay “Professor Fujino” (1926), commemorating his Japanese anatomy teacher Fujino Gekurō (1874-1945), is a case in point. Lu Xun deploys affect and narrative to depict an ideal student-teacher relationship that crosses space and time. Their relationship—rooted in benevolence, empathy, and reciprocity—harks back to a tradition of literati exemplars and imagines a form of relationality based on Confucian ethics and other traditional ideas that goes beyond national and colonial discourses. A testimony to the power of storytelling and “new voices,” their story has become an enduring symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship which continues to generate cross-cultural exchanges, collaborations, and friendships to this day.
