There are certain elements in “Sealed Off” and “Man of La Mancha” that can represent a disillusionment with Confucianism similar to the New Culture Movement of the early 1910s. Cosmic order is one of the most important aspects of Confucianism ideology. This can be understood as a general order in society. However, the events of “Sealed Off” are set in a period of disorder and are directly caused by the forced stop in the established order. Wu’s desire to be considered equal can also be seen as a rebellion against the established norms. “Man of La Mancha” has a clearer anti-Confucianism theme. The main character of the story experiences a brush with death, but instead of starting to see material things as pointless, he becomes concerned about the condition of his body if he dies in an unbefitting manner or falls into a coma while unprepared. While his ideas are irrational even outside of Confucius’ beliefs, they nevertheless showcase the extremes of vanity and the way society judges the deceased.
In China, the New Culture Movement (the 1910s and 1920s) has been described as a revolt against Confucianism, as well as a look toward global and Western influences, such as democracy and science. How do Zhang Ailing and Chu T’ien-Hsin represent this disillusionment with Confucius? Give specific examples to support your points.
