On Lu Ling's position in literary history and the classical works supporting his position
Lu Ling's position in literary history is that of an artistic master of long novels,and because his works contain romanticism and modernist realism,he promotes Lu Xun's literary tradition.From the perspective of world literature,he is neither Chinese Zola nor Chinese Romain Rolland,but Chinese"unfinished Dostoevsky".His representative works are not the novella Hungry Guo Su'e,but the novels The Children of the Rich and The Burning Wasteland.These two novels can support Lu Ling's literary position as a"master of the novel"through epic paintings,deep insights into the characters'hearts,and the artistic skills of symbolism and meta-phor.It is worth noting that the symbolism and metaphor skills in The Children of the Rich have not been fully developed,and The Burning Wasteland is a neglected masterpiece of the novel,and Guo Zilong,as the most complex character in the gallery of characters in modern Chinese novels,has not received enough attention.
