内容简介 在线阅读本书
LIVING DURING A TIME of dramatic change in China, Lu Hsun had a career that was as varied as his writing. As a young man he studied medicine in Japan but left it for the life of an activist intellectual, eventually returning to China to teach. Though he supported the aims of the Communist revolution, he did not become a member of the party nor did he live to see the Communists take control of China. Ambitious to reach a large Chinese audience, Lu Hsun wrote his first published story. "A Madman's Diary, " in the vernacular, a pioneering move in Chinese literature at the time. "The True Story of Ah Q, " a biting portrait of feudal China, gained him popularity in the West. This collection of eighteen stories shows the variety of his style and subjects throughout his career. In a new introduction, Ha Jin, the author of Waiting (National Book Award winner), The Bridegroom, and other works, places Lu Hsun's life and work in the context of Chinese history and literature.

作者简介 Lu Hsun
Lu Hsun,aslo Lu Xun,(born Sept. 25, 1881, Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, China-died Oct. 19, 1936, Shanghai) Chinese writer. He became associated with the nascent Chinese literary movement in 1918 (part of the larger May Fourth Movement), when he published his short story “Diary of a Madman,” a condemnation of traditional Confucian culture and the first Western-style story written wholly in Chinese. Though best known for his fiction, he was also a master of the prose essay, a vehicle he used especially late in life. He never joined the Communist Party himself, but he recruited many of his countrymen to communism and came to be considered a revolutionary hero.

China's Cultural Doctor, July 14, 2000
Reviewer: Nicole
After studying to become a doctor in a Western-style medical school in Nanjing in the 1910s, Lu Xun decided that the real diseases afflicting China were not physiological, but sociological. Thus, in order to truly work toward the health of the nation, he decided to diagnose the nation's maladies as an author rather than a physician. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he took the radical stance that the source of China's social and economic woes was the very framework of Chinese culture itself, in the Confucian value system and the ancient hierarchy of social allegiance. In stories like "A Madman's Diary" (his first story, published initially in the magazine New Youth), he exposed the reality underlying the polished politeness of Chinese society, that the system forced people to consume one another and work toward each other's downfall.
Most of his stories are metaphorical, requiring a decent background in modern Chinese history and some ability for literary analysis. I'm not even close to a complete understanding of many of them, but the moments of insight these stories have given me into Chinese history (and into my own life) have been among the most pleasurable moments of my life. This book is indispensible for anyone who wishes to understand modern China; Lu is perhaps the greatest Chinese author of the last two centuries.
