Diary of a Madman (complete Classics of Lu Xun)
by Lu Xun
About This Novel
This book is the first short vernacular diary novel written by Lu Xun and the first modern vernacular novel in China. Through the image of the persecuted "madman" and the "madman's" self-narrative description, the novel reveals the "cannibalistic" nature of feudal ethics and expresses the author's resistance to Chinese feudal culture with feudal ethics as the main connotation; it also expresses the author's profound sense of repentance. The author conducted a profound reflection on Chinese culture from a thorough "revolutionary democratic" standpoint, and at the same time expressed deep concern and indignation about the future of China and even mankind.

Such a good book, so good
This book contains insults against old China and seeks hope for reform. .
I cried all night and didn't sleep. I didn't know what to say.
Cannibalism still exists today, although it is not as serious as in the book.
I like it very much. It's a bit difficult to understand. After I understand it, I understand the dangers of society in the past.

Lu Xun: If I had known that only the first chapter of the diary was original, it might as well have been sold in offline stores, I should have rotted it on the desk...
