About This Novel
Zhou Zuoren, the second brother of Lu Xun, is an encyclopedic figure in the history of modern Chinese literature and one of the people who knows Lu Xun best. "Lu Xun's Hometown" is one of Zhou Zuoren's important works recalling Lu Xun in his later years. It describes Lu Xun's life, study, and friendships in his youth from four parts: "Baicao Garden", "Inside and Outside the Garden", "Lu Xun in Tokyo", and "Old Stories of Bu Shu Bookstore". It not only outlines Lu Xun who was active inside and outside the garden, but also touches on the people and things looming in the background. In his "living atmosphere", volumes of genre paintings of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China are slowly unfolded. The article follows the plain and sincere style of Chengzhitang's works that recall people's memories. The writing is concise and unsophisticated. With just a few strokes, it can describe people, events and scenes in a way that no one else can.
