Could someone enlighten me as to what the New Culture Movement is, as mentioned in the article? - Mandel

So the New Culture Movement is the same as the May Fourth Movement. Thanks for the info. - Mandel

[edit] Studied in Tohoku University

"Having returned to China from medical studies in Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan."

I made the point cleared that Lu Xun studied in Tohoku University, which is the Tohoku University I am studying in now. I am on an exchange program from UC Berkeley to Tohoku University.

A proof of this can be found at the Tohoku Website [1].

[edit] New Culture Movement vs. May Fourth Movement

The New Culture Movement preceded the May Fourth Movement. The former was, as its name indicated, cultural, whereas the latter was more political. The former lasted more than a couple of years, when many a writer introduced new ideas to their Chinese audience; in comparison, the latter was much shorter, and it was primarily a nationalistic uprising against foreign encroachment in China. After the May Fourth Movement, the communist thought somehow took the lead in literary circles, and the rest more or less subsided. Or it could have been that the Chinese communist party had made history seem the way I just described, so as to buttress the status of the May Fourth Movement as the critical turning point from when the communists started their successful rise to power.

-The CPC didn't exist at that point. The reason why there was more popular support for communism was because of the success of the recent Bolshevik revolution.

Removed link to * "Sunday in the Park with Lu Xun", Bruce Kennedy (CNN Interactive)

It was no longer valid and I couldn't find it in the Internet archives

[edit] Removed Link

Removed link to "Storm in a Teacup" because it had nothing to do with Lu Xun.

The words "lantern slide" probably don't need a page of their own. A lantern slide is an old name for what is now referred to as just a slide as were shown in slide projectors.
