- Ties a literary link between Chinese tradition and the West, not only through his translation work but also in how he has introduced important western literary ideas to China, such as it's humour.
- His political connections and controversy, leaving and later criticising the Nationalist Government for example, could provide some exciting starting points for work.
- 'The Importance of Living', a witty and fascinating and pleasant break down of life and how it should be lived stood out particularly. Really enjoyed reading excerpts, portrays a very light hearted, quite Buddhist view on living.
However his work didn't really stand out to me or grab me. I was not overly excited by him enough to want to pursue him for this particular project.
