Problem
One of the distinctive characteristics of Chinese literature and film in the 20th and 21st centuries is a commitment of artists to changing society through their artwork. Read Lu Xun's Medicine and Call To Arms, and discuss how these texts reflect their commitment to social change. In your response, make sure to situate your texts within the historical period in which they were produced-for example, art's commitment for reforming society was phrased in different terms during the May Fourth period and in the Cultural Revolution.
