Zhou, Yueran. Shashibiya [ID D23523].
Sun Yanna : Zhou Yueran was the first Chinese who introduced Western William Shakespeare criticism. He mentioned Lafcadio Hearn's opinion of Shakespeare. Hearn concluded that there were three major differences between Shakespearean and other dramas. To begin with, Shakespeare's plays are full of life, Shakespearean characters live more dynamically than those of other playwrights. Secondly, every single character in Shakespeare’s drama has his or her individuality. They not only live, but also have a different life from each other. Thirdly, it is impossible to find any two characters alike in his works. Everyone, whoever they are, is a special creation.
