Shu, Ming. [In memory of Mark Twain's 100th birthday]. [ID D29541].
Shu Ming, after paying tribute to Mark Twain's contributions to the new national literature, pointed out the great writer's weaknesses and shortcomings : he was not so free in his writing and life after all ; and his wife and daughters did a lot of harmful editing and distortion. Shu Ming contrasted Mark Twain's 'tragedy' with Maxim Gorky's development as a writers and came to the conclusion that the reason lies not only in the dissatisfying factors in Twain's family life, but also in the differences between the social systems of the two countries.
