I feel awkward reading foreign masterpieces, but are foreigners also uncomfortable reading Chinese masterpieces?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Everyone's cultural background and reading tastes were different, and their feelings and understanding of the same book might be different. Therefore, even foreigners and Chinese people might have different views on the same book.

However, the literary and cultural background of a famous work was often related to the author's nationality, so reading a famous work might be affected by the author's nationality. For example, some famous works have different backgrounds and cultures from China, so readers may feel uncomfortable or resonate with them when reading them.

Everyone's reading experience is unique, so even foreigners and Chinese people may have different views on the same book.
