Luxun Bookstore

[Lu Xun and New Cultural Geography] Academic Lecture Series | Zhang Jieyu: From Beijing to Guangzhou - Lu Xun's "Abandoning Teaching and Pursuing Literature"

In 1926, Lu Xun left Beijing and taught at Xiamen University, then at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. In 1927, he left Guangzhou for Shanghai. This experience was crucial in Lu Xun's life, and it was the embodiment of his choice to "abandon teaching and pursue literature". This choice included Lu Xun's new understanding of "literature" and the way of "pursuing literature". He stayed away from the academy and the system, and insisted on being an independent and critical "revolutionary" in the new environment of Shanghai's semi-concession and commercial publishing. Lu Xun's choice has important ideological significance for both himself and the modern Chinese intellectual community.
