Lu Xun----Soul of Chinese Nation
Lu Xun(鲁迅Lǔ Xùn), as a pen name of Zhou Shuren(周树人September 25, 1881 – October 19, 1936) is very household in China. If tracing the history of Chinese modern literature, this name is always the shinning one and titled such as a famed and great writer, ideologist and revolutionist of modern China, so that no one could miss it.
Born in a well-educated family in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu Xun had a carefree childhood in a small village and touched by the pure and honest customs there. But like all good things must come to an end, his father died from tuberculosis in his adolescence and this grievous news drove him to learn Chinese medicine without any hesitation.
In 1904, Lu Xun went to Sendai Medical Academy (now medical school of Tohoku University, Japan) for his further education in medicine; the initial major was Western medicine, but after he saw many physical strong Chinese men remain completely unmoved when Russian killed their compatriot in a movie, he realized that a pressing matter of the moment was to recall Chinese national spirits. So he changed major into the literary and artistic work and attempted to effect people’s minds.
In 1918 published vernacular fiction "Diary of a Madman", at that time he began to use the pen name of Lu Xun, and this novel has established the cornerstone of New Literature Movement. Around May Fourth movement, he became an editor of “New Youth” magazine, contributed so much to the “May Fourth” new literature movement. He devoted himself entirely to the Chinese liberation career, and wrote many works which had the most sober realistic spirit.
