Quote About Art
"Die Sprache der Kunst wird überall verstanden. Lu Hsün Shujen"
Here's another quote about art in this little text I'm doing. This time, my problem is not with the quote, but with the person's name. Chinese names are written differently in German to how they are in English. However, I just can't work out how the name would be written in English, and my best guesses are yielding no search engine hits. The German version doesn't get any hits either.
Does anyone know for sure how this name might be written in English? My best guess is Lu Soon Shuyen. TIA for your assistance with this somewhat unusual conundrum.

German term (edited):
Lu Xun/ Zhou Shuren
Selected
Zhou Shuren
Lu Xun (Traditional: 魯迅; Simplified: 鲁迅; pinyin: Lǔ Xùn; Wade-Giles: Lu Hsün) or Lu Hsün (September 25, 1881 – October 19, 1936), the pen name of Zhou Shuren (Traditional Chinese: 周樹人; Simplified Chinese: 周树人; pinyin: Zhōu Shùrén), has been considered the most influential Chinese writer of the 20th century and is seen as the founder of modern baihua (白话 báihuà) or vernacular Chinese literature. His social thought, which substantially criticized traditional cultural values, was also highly influential in 20th century Chinese history, in particular, to the May Fourth Movement and the strains of thought it gave rise to, which in turn had a great impact on the Chinese communist movement and the rise of the People's Republic of China. He was also a noted translator and helped introduce Chinese to modern international literature.
