Entry Description

Lu Xun, known as Mark Twain of China, was a great humanitarian writer advocating intellectual liberation and spiritual freedom. The reservation of Lu Xun's hometown has been hailed as a model by UNESCO and is the name plate of Shaoxing city.
The renewal of his hometown focuses on the inclusivity. It not only refines the design of traditional Chinese waterfront town spaces, but also cares the life and supporting facilities of the aborigines. Through the negotiated renovation of shanty towns, it protects the interests of multiple groups, ensures social equity and preserves the local lifestyle.
