From Ah Q to Lei Feng : Freud and revolutionary spirit in 20th century China

From Ah Q to Lei Feng : Freud and revolutionary spirit in 20th century China / Wendy Larson.

When Freudian sexual theory hit China in the early 20th century it ran up against competing models of the mind from Chinese tradition and the new revolutionary culture. The present volume investigates this clash and explores how writers and filmmakers negotiated with the implications of each model.
