Feng Xuefeng

- ... that a 500,000-character manuscript by Chinese writer Feng Xuefeng (pictured) was lost after he was captured by the Nationalists, then rewritten—only to be entirely burnt by himself?

- New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and cited to a reliable source. Article is within policy. Image looks fine. There's probably a lot more to be said about him, also about his friendship with Lu Xun (zhwiki has a family photograph of his family with Lu Xun's), but that's not a reason not to run this on the Main Page.

- Suggest slight rewording of hook — "only to be burned in entirety by himself?" (Also...usage of the word "burnt" doesn't sound as strong in American English, and could be misunderstood.) Cielquiparle (talk) 14:00, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Kusma: yup, but a lot of the Lu Xun stuff I glanced at (that were in English) were far too analytical for me to weave into this article in a layman-friendly way, so I exercised some editorial oversight... As for the hook, I'll leave it to the promoter's wisdom Kingoflettuce (talk) 20:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
