<p>Lu Xun (Lu Hsun) (1881-1936), father of contemporary Chinese literature, was not only a great writer but also a great revolutionary and thinker. Using the pen as a weapon he waged an exceedingly heroic struggle against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism. The rich heritage he has left us is a treasure in the literature of the Chinese people. Selected Works of Lu Xun includes the most important works of the author. Volume One contains selections from his short stories, prose poems and reminiscences. Volumes Two, Three and Four contain Lu Xun's more important essays written between 1918 and 1936. These essays compose an important part of Lu Xun's works. They are a combination of poetry and political commentaries, profound in thought and trenchant in language. Written in a charming style they thoroughly reflect the social conditions of his time. Volume One is prefaced by an article 'Lu Xun: His Life and Works'', written by the contemporary writer Feng Xuefeng. Volume Four includes a chronological table of Lu Xun's writings and translations, a chronological table of Chinese history and a note on the Romanization of Chinese names. In this new edition a number of essays have been added and the translations of some important works improved.</p>

Selected Stories of Lu HsunBy Lu HsunThe True Story of Ah Q, and Other StoriesTranslated by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys YangSelected Stories of Lu Hsun is a collection of English translations of major stories of the Chinese author Lu Xun translated by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang and first published in 1960 by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing. This book was republished in 2007 by the Foreign Languages Press with the updated title of Lu Xun Selected Works. Stories included in the collection are drawn from three of Lu Xun's story collections: Call to Arms (CTA), "Wandering" (W), and  "Old Tales Retold" (OTR).The stories were a major influence on the May Fourth Movement in China in the 1920s.One major theme in the stories in this collection is that habits of mind (psychology or "spirit") need to be examined; improvements in material conditions and institutions, while important, are not sufficient by themselves to renew China. See in particular A Madman's Diary and The True Story of Ah Q.Lu Xun employed point of view in his stories in a way that was novel at the time for Chinese literature, helping readers consider new possibilities about the true nature of the reality around them.A second major theme in the stories is the problem of how members of the intellectual class are to live their lives. It is a theme in many stories, including Kong Yiji, My Old Home, In the Wine Shop, Regret for the Past, and others.A third major theme in the stories is commentary on traditional customs and institutions. The stories look at the specific dysfunctions of particular customs and institutions, and also at the general result in which people are discarded. It is a theme in many stories, especially Kong Yiji and The New Year Sacrifice.

Selected Stories of Lu Hsun

LU HSUN (1881-1936), chief commander of China's modern cultural revolution, was not only a great thinker and political commentator but the founder of modern Chinese literature. As early as in the May 1918 issue of the magazine New Youth, Lu Hsun published one of his best stories, A Madman's Diary. This was his "declaration of war" against China's feudal society, and the first short story in the history of modern Chinese literature. Thereafter he followed up with a succession of stories such as The True Story of Ah Q and The New Year's Sacrifice, which cut through and sharply attacked stark reality in the dark old society. These stories were later included in the three volumes Call to Arms, Wandering and Old Tales Retold, and have become treasures in the Chinese people's literary heritage.
