Features: The achievements of modern Chinese prose, with Lu Xun as the richest and greatest—Yu Dafu (1935)
He could manipulate simple language (Chinese) to create a fluctuating and diverse rhythm, always fresh, always clear, always soft yet hard, always sharp yet refined. His great strength lies in packing emotions, thoughts, and words into a mere one or two thousand characters, like a delicate, slender stone with the explosive power of a grenade.—Lao She (1938)
Like many thoughtful individuals, he felt the darkness of the times and channeled his hope into the younger generation, spending the remaining days with a sense of melancholy. There was a sense of helplessness, pity, and a soft, girlish heart—emotions that resonated with the sorrow of women. The despair of youth, the disillusionment of the present, the instability of the era, and other complexities—all were vividly observed and felt by him—Shen Congwen (1934)
