324 20 2 Discovering Children and Losing Children: Lu Xun s Construction of Children s Identity Kean-Fung Guan Abstract Discursively speaking, the identity of children was transformed during China s evolution from a feudal to a republican society. While taking into consideration the children s relationship with China as a nation, this article tries to explicate Lu Xun s construction of children s identity. By placing the discourse on children that changed from being elderly orientated to youth oriented during the May Fourth Era within the context of the progression of Lu Xun s spiritual development from Call to Arms (Nahan ) to Wandering (Panghuang ), the paper will analyze the consequent shift of the image of children. Nahan depicts children as being victims poisoned by traditional culture, revealing Lu Xun s unyielding resistance against old traditions. On the other hand, Lu Xun s Panghuang represents a cry of bewilderment, as the children unexpectedly became accomplices of the philistines. One can argue that Lu Xun, despite his call to save the children, put that era s responsibilities on their shoulders, imprisoning them within an ideological prison. In this process of perpetual transformation and reconstruction, the discovery and loss of children in the newly youth oriented China were in reality two sides of the same coin. * Kean-Fung Guan is an M.A. candidate in the Department of Chinese Literature at National Taiwan University.
