Lu Xun, a “Knot” that Pulls Together China’s Modernity

Abstract

The impact of Lu Xun on modern Chinese literature is complex, which permeates every branch of modern Chinese literature and connects them with itself as a junction. Tracing the logical web of Lu Xun’s thoughts helps reveal a grand landscape of modern Chinese literature. Lu Xun’s ability to move us with his spiritual pursuit after more than half a century symbolizes his trans-epochal value as well as our own self-growth.
