Guohua Zhu unveils the last two decades of Chinese literary theory and research, offering a glimpse into the evolving dialogue between Eastern and Western theoretical frameworks within China's cultural landscape. Initially focusing on unique Chinese literary phenomena, Zhu’s research culminates in the critical examination of the effectiveness of Western theories within the Chinese cultural context.
