'热风 (Hot Wind)' Summary
《热风》 is Lu Xun's first collection of essays, comprising 41 pieces written between 1918 and 1924. The book showcases Xun's distinct writing style, known for its sharp wit, poignant observations, and boldness in confronting social issues. These essays serve as a potent reflection of the turbulent times in early 20th century China, marked by the New Culture Movement and the upheaval of traditional values. They address a range of topics, from the burgeoning literary landscape to the societal anxieties of the era. Xun's sharp critique of societal norms, particularly the rigid structures of the time, resonates even today. The collection is a testament to Xun's impact on Chinese literature and his commitment to social reform. The essays offer a unique glimpse into the cultural and intellectual ferment of the time, as Xun navigates the complexities of change and modernity in his own words.Book Details
