As one of the creator of new culture and new literature
Lu Xu’s influence on Xiao Hong mixes with vernacular literature’s influence during the New Culture Movement
including translation literature. Xiao Hong is the earliest beneficiary of The May 4th Movement. When his father
a new fashioned squire
established a female school
he immediately sent Xiao Hong to go to school. But engagement decided by her grandmother impeded her way to study and fight. When she went into Harbin Modern Girls' school
with the guide of new fashioned teachers
she began to know works of new literature. Besides
because of family political enlightenment
she accepted the views of the left wing. Lu Xun’s direct influence on her is the enlightenment of writing in vernacular. After she broke with her family
Lu Xun is her spiritual leader as model of revolutionary literature. And Lu Xun is also important to push her into the literary world. However
because of gender
education background
experience
life conditions
Xiao Hong and Lu Xun kept distance in heart
and she wanted to surpass him. Their relation is a spirit of understanding overcoming age and gender. Their ideological foundation based on great crisis of nation and country
the common destiny of cursed birth
the suffer of arranged marriage
the pain of body
the devotion to literature creation and the unique understanding to the magic of Chinese itself. While Xiao Hong inherited the spiritual heritage of Lu Xun
she also created her own art world with special life experience as female
especially birth experience which the performance areas all male writers including Lu Xun can not reach. She continued Lu Xun’s literature spirit in the aspect s of legendary literature
funeral orations and rhetoric
