About This Novel
Wake up the sleeping people in the iron house, get up and destroy the iron house, and at the same time support the May Fourth New Culture Movement and "comfort the warriors running in loneliness." "The Scream" is the beginning and maturity of modern Chinese novels. This book contains fourteen novels written by Lu Xun from 1918 to 1922. Each of these fourteen novels has its own complexity, but the content and themes can be roughly summarized as follows: "Diary of a Madman" criticizes the hypocrisy and cruelty of traditional life and can be regarded as the general outline of Lu Xun's novels. "Medicine", "Hometown", and "The True Story of Ah Q" not only reflect the social landscape after the Revolution of 1911, but also explore issues of national character. In novels such as "Kong Yiji" and "Dragon Boat Festival", the author exposed the mental trauma and crisis of old and new intellectuals. But "The Scream" is not all heavy work depicting pathologies. For example, "Social Opera" shows the kind and honest qualities of farmers, "Rabbit and Cat" and "Duck's Comedy" express thoughts on love and life in the form of prose, and the overall style is also clear.
