About This Novel
"Wandering" is Lu Xun's second novel collection, which includes a total of eleven novels written from 1924 to 1925. The writing period of "Wandering" coincided with the ebb of the May Fourth Movement, and divisions occurred within the New Culture Movement camp. On the one hand, the author "felt lonely" and "desolate" because he "became a wanderer and could not form an array", but on the other hand, he "summed up past experience, looked for new comrades, and deployed new battles." "Wandering", which came out under this background, compared with his first collection of novels "The Scream", "Although the technology is better than before, the thoughts seem to be less restrained, but the will to fight is much colder." "Wandering" is full of concern for the peasants and intellectuals living under the heavy pressure of feudal forces who "sorrow for their misfortune" and "are angry for not fighting". The artistic techniques of "Wandering" are "sophisticated" - the profound and broad historical picture; the narration of the characters' fate permeated with emotions; the line drawing method of "drawing eyes" and "soul hooking", and the plump characters are of typical significance.
