The "Master Dialogue" was held in three places "on the clouds"
Shaoxing uses the "Lu Xun symbol" to link the world
Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw "met" again yesterday
Yesterday, on the 85th anniversary of Lu Xun's death, the "cross-time dialogue" between Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw, two great literary heroes, was held in the ShoujiaTai Gate next to Lu Xun's hometown Sanwei Bookstore. Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, the "dialogue" between Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw was held simultaneously in Shaoxing, Shanghai and Dublin in the form of online and offline, with Shaoxing as the main venue. Zhou Lingfei, president of Lu Xun's eldest grandson and president of the Lu Xun Cultural Foundation, Smerdi, consul general of the Consulate General of Ireland in Shanghai, and experts and scholars exchanged views on the "cloud".
"Master Dialogue" - The scene of the dialogue between Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw
In February 1933, George Bernard Shaw came to China, met Lu Xun, and had a "dialogue" and group photo. 88 years later, the two masters "met" and "talked" again, which was emotional.
Zhou Lingfei delivered a speech
Zhou Lingfei said: "When George Bernard Shaw came to Shanghai, the time was very short, it was only 8 hours before and after, and Lu Xun did not have the opportunity to have a long chat with him. But I knew that before George Bernard Shaw came to China, Lu Xun had long been concerned about George Bernard Shaw. After George Bernard Shaw came to Shanghai, I think Lu Xun has been talking to George Bernard Shaw in his heart, and the books and articles he has compiled for this purpose have revealed a deep understanding and deep feeling for George Bernard Shaw. In particular, he described Shaw as "a flat mirror", which can be said to be a wonderful interpretation of Shaw. I believe that in Lu Xun's mind, shaw's words can be heard, understood, and will smile heartily, and he believes that George Bernard Shaw is still in China. I believe that Lu Xun is also looking forward to going to Ireland in his heart. Zhou Lingfei said that Lu Xun has been carrying out international cultural dialogue before his death, which is worth learning, researching, inheriting and promoting. It is necessary to continue the "master dialogue" activities and expand the scope of dialogue. Like Lu Xun, Schmedy said, George Bernard Shaw was born into a family that had fallen. George Bernard Shaw was a meager young writer, but eventually became a critic of the dark realities of the time, a satirist denouncing the corruption of the privileged classes, and a revolutionary in literature and even in the political, economic, and social spheres. George Bernard Shaw was an admirer of the Norwegian playwright Ibsen and, as a theatre critic, gave extensive analysis and interpretation of Ibsen's work. Similarly, Lu Xun was one of the first to introduce Ibsen in China. But compared with George Bernard Shaw and Ibsen, Lu Xun had a higher evaluation of George Bernard Shaw: "Ibsen is a great question mark, and Shaw is a great exclamation point..."
Smeddy's speech
Smeddy said that Lu Xun felt like a similar temperament to George Bernard Shaw, and they had a meal together and talked about the day witty and funny. Lu Xun later wrote a series of articles about Shaw's visit, including the fascinating "I Met Shaw and The People Who Met Him." In 2003, Geoffrey Keating, Ireland's first Consul General in Shanghai, commemorated Shaw's visit. Subsequently, during President Michael Higgins' visit to China in 2014, he visited the former residences of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling, who had hosted George Bernard Shaw's visit to China. Smeddy said that the literary cooperation between Ireland and China has flourished, and writers and poets from the two countries have frequently exchanged visits. Some of Ireland's great literary works have been Chinese, but there is still a lot of work to be done, and today's event is a great opportunity to promote exchanges between the two sides.
Director Ho Chun Kit delivered a speech
With Shaoxing as the origin of dialogue activities, Lu Xun, a giant of Chinese culture, has "cross-time and space dialogue" with the world literary heroes Hugo, Tolstoy, Tagore, Natsume Shushi, Dante, Heine, Mark Twain and others, becoming a grand event to promote cultural exchanges between China and the world. He Junjie, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal PARTY Committee and director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture, Culture, Culture, Tourism, said on behalf of Shaoxing during the "dialogue" that Shaoxing will further use the "Lu Xun symbol" to link the world, let the world tell cultural stories with us, find common cultural codes, build a common spiritual home, and make the "Master Dialogue" a model for world people-to-people exchanges.

Gong Ling, director of the Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shaoxing, said that the works of Xiao Bernard Shaw and Lu Xun, two literary masters, are full of compassion for the weak, yearning for light, and pursuit of truth, and have truly and profoundly touched the depths of the times in which they live. He hopes that more world masters will "dialogue" with Lu Xun here, and trace The growth mark and pen style of Mr. Lu Xun. Yesterday, Lecturer Holly Heng of the National University of Ireland Galway, Professor Ofezo Fujii of the University of Tokyo in Japan, and experts from Shanghai and Shaoxing held in-depth dialogues on the resonance of Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw's thought. "Master Dialogue: Lu Xun and George Bernard Shaw Dialogue Across Time and Space" is sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Lu Xun Cultural Foundation, which is another major event in Shaoxing to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth.
