eileen chengyin chowThe art of our time is noisy with appeals for silence. A coquettish, even cheerful nihilism. One recognizes the imperative of silence, but goes on speaking anyway.

eileen chengyin chowHard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. —— We live in capitalism.

eileen chengyin chowIn 1918 Lu Xun was already 37, hardly 'new youth.' But the revolutionary urgency of his prose defined the May4th generation.
