Abstract: ZHU Zhi-xin's thesis "What is Jesus?" is an anti-Christian text that had a great influence in the anti-Christian Movement in the 1920s. ZHU disenchants the deity and personality of Jesus, but at the same time attempts to "re-mythologize" Jesus with Confucian ideal personality and stylized truism so that the image of Jesus could be used as a designation in his ideological mythology. On the contrary, WANG Zhi-xin's article under the same title tries to build the image of Jesus as a proletarian revolutionary with the characteristics of the times through criticizing ZHU with religious rationality. Effectively, a modern mythology of "Jesusism" is created in the name of anti-mythology in such a way.

Key words: ZHU Zhi-xin, WANG Zhi-xin, “What is Jesus?”, Anti-Christian Movement
