In the current version (ChatGPT Mar 14 Version) of https://chat.openai.com/chat, curiosity raised the following question:
What is the relationship between Lu Xun and Zhou Shuren?
The answer received is as follows:
Lu Xun and Zhou Shuren are two very famous writers in the history of modern Chinese literature, and they have a teacher-student relationship. Zhou Shuren is a disciple of Lu Xun, and Lu Xun has had a profound influence on Zhou Shuren's literary creation and ideological understanding.
When Zhou Shuren was studying in Nanyang in his early years, he developed a strong interest in Lu Xun's ideas and literary style through reading Lu Xun's works. Later, he returned to China and became Lu Xun's capable assistant and one of his successors. Under Lu Xun's guidance, Zhou Shuren actively participated in the literary and artistic reform movement and published many representative works, such as "A Madman's Diary" and "The White-headed Boy," becoming one of the important representatives of modern Chinese literature.
Although their creative directions are different, both Lu Xun and Zhou Shuren have a critical thinking of reality and unique literary styles, making important contributions to the development of modern Chinese literature and culture.
This shows that there was a problem in sorting out the relationship.
