A towering figure in the literary history of twentieth-century
China, Lu Xun has exerted immense and continuous influence through
his short stories, which remain today as powerful as they were
first written. While echoes of these stories can still be heard in
the fictional works from both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the
eighties and nineties, "The True Story of Ah Q" has long become an
intrinsic part of the Chinese vocabulary.
Like many Chinese intellectuals searching for a solution to
China's problems, Lu Xun went to Japan to study medicine, a choice
he later abandoned for a career in writing, which he considered to
be a far more effective weapon to save China. A prolific author of
pungent and "dagger-like" essays, Lu Xun is also a tireless
translator of Western critical and literary works. His fictional
works have been translated into more than twenty languages.
