[Summary]
In this paper, I will deal with a great Chinese author Lu Xun and chaos theory to make a synergic metaphor.
In the first half I will address the different thought form between Chinese and Japanese based on Sapir’s linguistics. Lu Xun thought about the difference by himself, while he studied European modern thought in Japan. He disliked the mental illness called “ma-ma-hu-hu” that Chinese people suffered from at the time and identified himself with the hero of “The True Story of Ah Q” to appeal to Chinese people.
In the second half I will connect “ma-ma-hu-hu” to a memory model to make a synergic metaphor from the life of Lu Xun, and I will explore the chaotic world in “The True Story of Ah Q”.
