About This Novel
"The True Story of Ah Q" is the masterpiece of Lu Xun's novels and a famous work in the history of Chinese literature. The novel is set in the Chinese countryside before and after the Revolution of 1911. It tells the story of Ah Q, a wandering farmhand in Weichuang, who, although he is "really capable" of work, has nothing, and even his name has been forgotten. The novel profoundly expresses the inferiority, conservativeness, xenophobia, resignation, and arrogance of the Chinese people formed under the suffocation of feudal culture. Through Ah Q's "Spiritual Victory Method", it vividly portrays the numbness, ignorance, and self-deception of backward peasants. The illustrations in the novel were drawn by Feng Zikai. Lu Xun's words and Feng Zikai's illustrations complement each other and more vividly present the rich characters and storylines written by Lu Xun, providing a special version for current readers to better understand Lu Xun.
