    In addition to the author, the formation of the style of literary works also involves the work, the world, and the reader. The four qualities influence each other to form an unique personal style. Moreover, \ue2Chenyu Duncuo\ue2is considered as the basic style of Du Fu\ue2s poetry. However, we have different interpretations about it and are ambiguous to really appreciate its true implication. Therefore, this article will discuss from three aspects. First of all, through the introduction of Du Fu's life, the explanations of the influence of the world on the author and work will be discussed. Secondly, the historical readers\ue2 understanding to" Chenyu Duncuo " will be analyzed and how readers understand the work and the author will also be explained. Finally, according to Roman Ingarden, literatures are categorized into the followings: the stratum of linguistic sound form, the stratum of meaning units, the stratum of represented objects, and the stratum of schematized aspects. The four stratums will be the basic structure to analyze the three articles: Zhu Jiang, Yonghuai Guji, and Qiu Xing in the period of Du Fu Kuizhou so that the readers could taste the deep meaning and aesthetics Du conveyed as well as his characteristics. By concatenating the four parts of author, world, work and reader, it helps readers nowadays better understand the style of Du\ue2s poetry ,\ue2Chenyu Duncuo\ue2

    In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Reviewed by: Tobi Poster-Su CASTING FU MANCHU. By Eelyn Lee. Chinese Arts Now Digital Commission, UK. Streamed, December 1, 2020. Dr. Fu Manchu, the archetypal supervillain invented by English author Sax Rohmer in the 1910s and featured in countless Hollywood portrayals from the 1920s to the 2000s, has been described by scholars such as Ruth Mayer as the embodiment of Yellow Peril, an ideological construction of East Asia that William F. Wu regards as so pervasive within Western culture as to fundamentally shape both public perception and political policy. Perhaps fittingly, Fu Manchu has not been portrayed in any major film production by a Chinese or East Asian performer. Instead, the character has been portrayed by white men engaging in makeup-assisted racial mimicry (a practice explored in David Henry Hwang’s 2007 play Yellow Face). This fact formed the backdrop for Eelyn Lee’s digital short, Casting Fu Manchu, for which Lee invited East and Southeast Asian performers to submit audition self-tapes of sides taken directly from classical Hollywood films featuring the character. These self-tapes, which featured prominently within the performance itself, created an opportunity for performers to subvert and reappropriate a character whose legacy can be seen as directly connected to the current resurgence in anti-Chinese sentiment
