Lu Xun

Lu Xun (traditional Chinese: ??; simplified Chinese: ??; pinyin: Lu Xun) or Lu Hsun (Wade-Giles), was the pen name of Zhou Shuren (traditional Chinese: ???; simplified Chinese: ???; pinyin: Zhou Shuren; Wade-Giles: Chou Shu-jen)

Lu Xun (1881-1936) was a great man of letters, as well as a thinker and revolutionary in modern China, and also the founder of modern literature in China. The literary style of modern Chinese fiction was formed based on foreign fiction and the reformed traditional Chinese storytelling scripts; Lu Xun was a great pioneer in this reform.

'A Madman's Diary,' a short story published in New Youth (a progressive journal of that time) in May 1918, had epochal significance, marking the beginning of a brand new literary era. This story attempts to expose the maladies of feudal patriarchy and the feudal code ethics. However, in the novel, Lu Xun doesn't describe the harms of feudal patriarchy and the oppression borne by the madman in detail; instead he points to the cruel nature of feudal ethics through the mad man's eyes, derangement, and frenzied words. 'A Madman's Diary' denounces the cannibalistic ethics of feudal society with a most sobering realistic spirit. Artistically, this story is shaded with subtle symbolism. Before 'A Madman's Diary' was published, poetry and prose written in the vernacular had already appeared. But it was 'A Madman's Diary' that contained true revolutionary thought and seamlessly blended a thoroughly anti-feudal spirit and new art forms. The story is regarded as the first piece of modern Chinese fiction.

Lu Xun's short stories are brought together in two collections – Call to Arms and Wandering.

Call to Arms includes 14 works written between 1918 and 1922. Works in this collection were marked by the strong patriotic and revolutionary passion that prevailed in China during the May 4th Movement (1919). Wandering is made up of 11 stories including 'The New Year Sacrifice,' 'In the Wine Shop,' and 'Soap' written in 1924, and 'The Misanthrope,' 'Regret for the Past,' and 'Divorce' written in 1925.

Wandering reflects Lu Xun's spiritual depression in the mid-1920s and his unending search for the truth. 'Kong Yiji' describes an intellect inflicted by the Imperial examination system. The story is written with a laconic and simple structure and in concise language. It castigates the evil of the examination system in trampling and destroying people's lives. 'Medicine' is another famous short story exposing the life- destroying feudal system. It depicts not only the uneducated common people who are devoured by feudal superstition, but also a young revolutionary who is killed by the sword of feudal autocracy. One
