SACU Reading Group on May Fourth Writers – Wednesday 16 March
March 16, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
SACU Reading Group on May Fourth Writers and their writing – Led by Michael Sheringham (SACU)
We have been meeting online to discuss Chinese literature of the May Fourth period – roughly from the beginning of the 1920s to the end of the ‘30s – for the past 8 months. We are a small group meeting once a month to discuss stories and poems by well-known writers of the period, including Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Bing Xin, Guo Moruo, Lin Shuhua, Ding Ling, Xiao Hong, Xiao Jun and Yu Dafu – well-known in China, but not so much overseas even among those interested in China and its cultural tradition.
SACU members are welcome to join any meeting – we usually meet online at 6.00-7.30 pm on Wednesday mid-month.
