A comparison between ＂Li Zheng＂ and its later adaptations show that Li Zheng＇s metamorphosis from human to tiger is told in conspicuously divergent ways： Whereas adaptations cast the moment of transformation in prescribed moral or psychological perspectives, the original portrays Li＇s shocking bodily changes and intensive affective process without the intervention of intentionality or cognitive response. Drawing on both developments in affect theory and on studies of Tang exilic literature, this paper aims at unraveling the inner workings of ＂Li Zheng.＂ The story＇s portrayal of Li＇s unexplained bodily change, along with Yuan＇s untroubled acceptance of it and generosity toward Li and his family, all correspond strongly to Tang exilic literature that stresses both visceral reactions to strange environments and unwavering communal support.展开更多

The Wailing Wall （Kuqiang） was written in 1968 in the atmosphere of the Six Days War in Israel, the atrocities during the first years of the Cultural Revolution in the mainland of China, and war in Vietnam, Wailing Wall is a poetic symbol of sadness and suffering mostly of the innocent people. For the author of the story it is reminiscent of the biblical Psalm 137 depicting the moods of the Hebrews in the Babylonian Captivity after 586 B.C. and the situation of her compatriots who were forced to leave their old homes in the Mainland before Oct. 1, 1949. Zhang Xiaofeng is a Christian author regarding love as the cornerstone of inter-human relations. She believes in love of God for all human beings and in the universal love. The short story consisting of one woman and her relations with two brothers between October 1949 and June 1967, against the background what happened in the world around them, and in their vicinity, brought her an unpleasant cognition： The true love is hardly possible where the human beings should live between, or behind the walls, where hate is prevailing.展开更多
