Love-Letters and Privacy in Modern China: The Intimate Lives of Lu Xun and Xu Guangping

by Bonnie S. McDougall and Lu Xun

This book opens up three new topics in modern Chinese literary history: the intimate lives of modern China's most famous literary couple, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping; real and imagined love-letters in modern Chinese literature; and the contents, functions, and values of privacy held by one couple in twentieth-century China as shown by a comparison between the edited and unedited versions of their letters.
