A theme park in honor of the late great Chinese revolutionary thinker and noted proletarian writer Lu Xun and his works is under construction in Beijing's Zhongguancun, China's most prosperous IT center.
The design of the Lu Xun Cultural Park was displayed Saturday at a Chinese-Russian architecture exhibition. The park will feature sections for cultural attainments and for new and hi-tech growth, such as a Lu Xun arts school, a Lu Xun research center, halls for aviation and space and genetic technologies.
Located in west Beijing, the park to cover 33 hectares would be completed before 2008, when the 29th Olympic Games will be hosted in the capital.
Lu Xun was regarded as the "backbone" of the Chinese nation for his powerful writings that lashed out the feudal system and castigated the imperialistic colonization of China.
