Hanggao Lu Xun Literature Club
[edit]On October 10, 1921, Wang Jingzhi, Pan Mohua, Feng Xuefeng and other students from Zhejiang First Normal School (predecessor of Hangzhou High School) founded the literature club “Chenguang Club” (the “Lakeside Poetry Club” was established the following year), and received the support of teachers such as Ye Shengtao, Zhu Ziqing, who taught them at that time. That meant the birth of the earliest new literary group in Zhejiang, and the creation of a new era of Hangzhou schools' century-old tradition.
