Zhou Zuoren (
Wade Giles:
Chou Tso-jen) (16 January 1885-
6 May 1967) was a Chinese writer, primarily known as an
essayist and a translator. He was the younger brother of Lu Xun (Zhou Shuren), the third of four brothers.
Born in Shaoxing,
Zhejiang, he was educated at the
Jiangnan Naval Academy as a teenager. Following the steps of his brother Lun Xun, he left for Japan to pursue his study in 1906. During his stint in Japan, he spent his time to study
classical Greek, with the aim of translating the
Gospels into Classical Chinese, and to learn Chinese philology under
Zhang Binglin, although he was supposed to study
civil engineering there. He returned to China in 1911, with his Japanese wife, and began to teach in different institutions.
Writing essays in vernacular Chinese for the influential magazine
La Jeunesse, Zhou was a key figure in the May Fourth Movement. His short essays, with their refreshing style, have won him many readers since then up to the present day. An avid reader, he called his studies "miscellanies", and indeed penned an essay title "My Miscellaneous Studies" (我的雜學). He was particularly interested in
folklore,
anthropology and natural history. One of his favorite writers was
Havelock Ellis. He was also a prolific translator, producing translations of
classical Greek and classical Japanese literatures. Most of his translations are pioneering, which include a collection of Greek mimes,
Sappho's lyrics,
Euripides' tragedies,
Kojiki,
Shikitei Sanba's
Ukiyoburo, Sei Shōnagon's
Makura no Sōshi and a collection of
Kyogen. He considered his translation of Lucian's
Dialogues, which he finished late in his life, as his greatest literary achievement. He is also the first one to translate (from English) the story
Ali Baba into Chinese (known as
Xianünu 俠女奴).
In 1945, after the Second Sino-Japanese War, Zhou was arrested for treason by the Nationalist government of
Chang Kai-shek, stemming from his alleged collaboration with the Japanese during their occupation. Zhou was sentenced to 14 years in Nanjing Prison, but was released in 1949 by the Communist government after a pardon. Later that year he returned to Beijing. He continued to write and translate, but published his works under pseudonyms. He died during the
Cultural Revolution.
