Modernism is a branch of literature that represents the new style and new kinds of expression, and Shi Zhecun, is one of the greatest representative authors of modernism. Under the historical background happened in 1919, which is the May Fourth Movement, anti-feudal and   anti-old ideas became the main trend among the younger generations. During this period, more and more fictions about new thoughts or breaking the past were published. The General’s Head (1932) is one of them. I will introduce it later after I finish reading it. Being influenced by Sigmund Freud, Shi’s articles emphasize on psychoanalytic, he uses such method to subvert the perception of history of ordinary people and attempt to give a new understanding of history.
