Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- literary enthusiasts who want to read Lu Xun's classic short stories closely and explore his literary technique
- students and researchers studying the history of modern Chinese literature and related courses
- readers interested in Chinese society and depictions of human nature in the early twentieth century
- busy modern readers seeking a high-quality, thought-provoking short read
Not a good fit for
- readers expecting a long, continuous story or complex plot
- readers seeking only light entertainment and reluctant to engage with heavy social themes
Reading tips
- Read the full text first, then focus on the dialogue and details when "I" reunites with Runtu, and feel the emotional tension in them.
- For further reading, pair it with the full text of Lu Xun's "Hometown" and other stories in Call to Arms (such as "Village Opera") to gain a fuller understanding of his line of thought.
- As you read, consider: what created the estrangement between "I" and Runtu? Does this estrangement exist in other forms in today's society?

About the author
Lu Xun, originally named Zhou Shuren and styled Yucai, was a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and a leading modern Chinese writer and thinker as well as a representative figure of the New Culture Movement. With works such as "A Madman's Diary" and "The True Story of Ah Q," he laid the foundation of modern Chinese fiction. His writing often focuses on the spiritual condition of ordinary people and on social reality, in a cold, concise style rich in critique and self-reflection. His story collections "Call to Arms" and "Wandering" and his prose collection "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk" are widely read, and his works are often classified as classics, social fiction, and documentary literature. The library holds as many as 499 editions of his works, showing that they continue to be read, anthologized, and circulated. Public information is limited, so this is only a brief account of his life's key points and creative character.
