By identifying the double helix structure of DNA, molecular biologists and geneticists helped to discover more about the myths of life. Because DNA collects mutations which are then inherited, it contains historical information. This can be used in studies ranging from ecological genetics to anthropology. For example, DNA evidence is being used to identify the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The DNA structure can be used to study the deeper aspects of literary influences. This paper is a comparative study of the double helix structure of DNA of fictional characters and other literary elements in the works of Lu Xun and many other Southeast writers who are of different races and write in different languages. I have discovered that many characters in the fiction by Singaporean Wong Meng Woon, the Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer and the Vietnamese writer Nam Cao (Trần Hữu Tri) are family members who came from a bloodline that can be traced back to Lu Xun’s characters. For example, it is easily recognized that Lun Xun Ah Q is the ancestor of Chí Phèo in Nam Cao’s widely known novel Chí Phèo. Wong Meng Voon’s female character Hui Lan’s direct ancestor is Lu Xun’s Xiang Lin’s Wife. |
