This collection is the foundation of modern Chinese literature. The included "Diary of a Madman" tears apart the "cannibalistic" nature of feudal ethics from a crazy perspective, becoming the first vernacular novel; the image of Ah Q created by "The True Story of Ah Q" reveals the numbness and ignorance of the national character; the tragedy of Sister Xianglin in "Blessing" indicts the harm done to women by feudal ethics. With sharp writing and profound thoughts, Lu Xun focused on the suffering of the grassroots, criticized the corruption of the system, and explored the path to transforming national character. Its unique narrative style pioneered modern realist literature and is a core document for studying modern Chinese literature and social thought.
