Zhou Zuoren (1885-1967) is one of the most controversial modern
Chinese intellectuals and the brother of the writer Lu Xun. Zhou
was radically at odds with many of his contemporaries and opposed
the normative national subject of most May Fourth reformers. His
work was banned in both mainland China and Taiwan for many years
because of his collaboration with the Japanese puppet government
during the Sino-Japanese War. Zhou's essays present an alternative
vision of the nation, question the dichotomy between modernity and
traditions, and espouse a literary style that values openness and
individualism. The book has tilted the balance more in favour of
the fractious kind than the typically affable and unworldly ones,
and is thus a unique selection of Zhou's essays.
