Offering a unique study of the life and works of Lin Yutang, it highlights his intellectual legacy in modern China and considers how his cross-cultural life and ideas embodied the modern Chinese cultural experience. It notably focuses on Lin?s reputation as an outspoken critic of the infringement of human rights during the rise of the Communist regime in China, but also on his rediscovery of Chinese cultural resources. At a time when China?s cultural c ontributions are increasingly relevant worldwide, this book contributes to ongoing critical reflections of Chinese modernity, particularly in terms of its intellectual legacies, but also to a renewed understanding of the cross-cultural interactions between China and America and a re-opening the dialogue and search for a new cultural understanding. 410 0$aCanon and World Literature,$x2662-7841 606 $aPhilology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aChinese language 606 $aLanguage and Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000 606 $aComparative Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000 606 $aChinese$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N18000 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aChinese language. 615 14$aLanguage and Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aChinese. 676 $a400 700 $aQian$b Suoqiao$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0961704 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252717503321 996 $aLin Yutang and China?s Search for Modern Rebirth$92535478 997 $aUNINA
