Person
Lu Xun
Lu Xun, the pen name of Zhou Shuren, was a Chinese writer regarded as the founder of modern Chinese literature. His short stories in the vernacular, such as 'A Madman's Diary' (1918) and 'The True Story of Ah Q', attacked the traditions he blamed for China's weakness and made him a leading voice of the New Culture Movement. In his last years he was a central figure of the League of Left-Wing Writers in Shanghai.
