Lu Xun  

Definition

  • Lu Xun (1881–1936) is generally acknowledged as China's greatest twentieth-century author. His sardonic humor, literary skill, and sense of the absurd made him an effective advocate of Chinese nationalism, the rejection of a self-satisfied traditionalism, and the need to embrace a pragmatic program of modernization.
