Lu

Xun is

one of the

greatest Chinese writers of the 20th

century.

Besides his

famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of

Chinese people.

Born

in

1881

to

a

wealthy

family,

Lu

Xun

had

a

happy

childhood.

In

1893,

however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking

money.

At

the

same

time,

his

father

became

seriously

ill.

From

that

time

on,

his

family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences

2

/

greatly influenced his writing.

By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already

believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to

study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines.

He

showed

a

gift

for

writing

and

translating

and

he

even

wrote

several

books,

although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of

money.

After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to

writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story

Diary of a Madman

. It was the first

Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped

make it a great success. This, together with his novel

The True Story of Ah Q

(1921),

made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatl

y about China’s future. In 1927,

he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what

he called “pen

warfare”. He only wrote

articles

which called on the people to

fight

against

the

government.

For

this,

the

government

stopped

him

from

publishing

any

more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.

Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many

of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions of

people around the world.

of
