The outlaws of the marsh in modern Chinese Literature

Name/fame (ming名), identity. From the early “assassin” narratives down to the  modernist experiments with ”martial arts” narrative conventions from Lu Xun and Yu Hua we read in the last week, many of the stories we have read this semester foreground  questions of how someone is known or remembered, and how their actions and choices lead to their being remembered versus forgotten, or remembered in some particular way. A related set of questions relates to what we call “identity,” which usually places more  emphasis on 

the subjective experience of what it means to “be someone.”
