(I) LU XUN: A CHINESE WRITER FOR ALL TIMES BY RUTH F.WEISS Publisher's Note: This book about a Chinese writer who was, at the same time, a poet and forceful social critic, does not attempt to be an academic study. Rather, it gives intimate glimpses of what one individual from a quite different background gained by Lu Xun's writings through the years, especially during the "cultural revolution", and finding Lu Xun's remarks about his time (1881-1936) really timelessand applicable long after his death. Ruth F. Weiss, an Austrian-Chinese educator, journalist and lecturer, lived in China for 45 years altogether. She knew Lu Xun in Shanghaiin the 1930s and met many of the Chinese and foreign personalities now remembered.
(II) THE TRUE STORY OF AH Q BY LU XUN (includes English translation) Synopsis: The story traces the "adventures" of Ah Q, a man from the peasant, rural class with little education and no definite work. Ah Q is famous for "spiritual victories", Lu Xun's euphemism for self-talk and self-deception even when faced with extreme defeat or humiliation. Ah Q is a bully of the less fortunate but fearful of those who are above him in rank, strength, or power. He persuades himself mentally that he is spiritually "superior" to his oppressors even as he succumbs to their tyranny and suppression. Lu Xun exposes Ah Q's extreme faults as symptomatic of the Chinese national character of his time. The ending of the piece – when Ah Q is carted off to execution for a lowly crime – is equally poignant and satirical.
