I found many Chinese writers on the Internet who are comparable to William shakespeare, but I have never heard of many of them. Are they not as famous as William shakespeare?

Answer 1

William shakespeare was a famous figure in the renaissance period of england. His works had great literary value and historical significance. Although China had great achievements in the field of literature, its popularity was indeed different from that of shakespeare. This was mainly due to the great differences in the way of expression and language habits between Chinese and English, which led to certain restrictions in the translation and transmission of Chinese literature.

Of course, this did not mean that China did not display its talents. The development of Chinese literature is also very long. There are many excellent works that are worthy of my appreciation and understanding. For example, Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber, Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman, Ba Jin's Home, and Lao She's Camel Xiangzi all had very high literary value and depth of thought.

Therefore, I should respect different literary achievements, appreciate and read the literary works of different countries to obtain different cultural and intellectual experiences.
