WORKS ELABORATION:
It is a great challenge for me to interpret and express the image of Mr. Lu Xun from the unique perspective of his diary, due to few relevant attempts in the past. It is, therefore, in my creation that I paid more attention to understanding the contents and background of the diary, trying to interpret different images of Lu Xun. Finally, 365 pictures were created based on Lu Xun’s diary in 1923 with the purpose of presenting a new image of Lu Xun that is acceptable, interesting, and relaxed for young people, after which a series of derivative works were made with these pictures as the content. In the whole process of exploration, research, and creation, I gained a lot, including not only learning, but also exercising and obtaining broader experience.
TUTOR COMMENT:
At present, there are a large number of artworks on the theme of Lu Xun’s image, most of which, however, are shaped either from the perspective of Lu Xun’s literary works or from people’s construction and impression of Lu Xun’s image in different periods. Mr. Da’s 1923 interprets and creates Lu Xun from the unique perspective of his diary, which describes Lu Xun in daily life, different from the existing image of Lu Xun in people’s minds. Meanwhile, as the times change, people’s expression of Lu Xun’s image is becoming diverse. Concerns about the interesting and relaxed expression of Lu Xun’s image in this work, therefore, is relatively special, conveying the vigorous image of Lu Xun in daily life, which is rarely paid attention to in the previous studies. As a whole, it is a relatively excellent work.
