"Individual" and the Misread "Individual"——Rethinking Zhou Zuoren's The Literature of Man

The notion of discussed in Zhou Zuoren's The Literature of Man is not the same as that in the system of traditional western literature, but the in the communist society on the premises of the disappearance of class and country. Besides individual such an is also cooperative, friendly and enthusiastically ready to dedicate his life to the interests of the collective. Previous studies have fully explored Zhou's individualism, but neglected the impact of the human (world) consciousness, namely, the humanism in the context of the 19th century Utopian socialism, on the establishment and development of Chinese new literature.
