About Lu Xun
Lu Xun is considered the father of modern Chinese literature. His writing tore apart the social structures of early 20th century China with dark humour and razor-sharp prose. If you're learning Chinese and you haven't read Lu Xun, you're missing the writer that shaped the language you're studying.
