The Voice of Lu Xun

Lu Xun (1881-1936) was a Chinese writer, literary critic, lecturer, and state servant. This is a book for poetry readers who want to learn about Lu Xun or who want a reference to compare different expressions in English, Mandarin, and Japanese. It's well-known in China that Lu Xun is more famous for his novels and essays because during the period Lu Xun lived in China, China was involved in a new cultural movement, which meant most people didn’t want to read or learn ancient Chinese. Lu Xun wrote only a few classical poems. Although they’re short, some are brilliant, such as the “Self-Deprecating Poem.”
