Lu Xun was China's first great modern writer. He invented the Chinese short story. He revolutionized the Chinese language. He diagnosed the vast array of social and spiritual problems that had led China, in the early 20th century, to the brink of ruin. Above ad beyond all of his innumerable essays and stories, the Real Story of Ah-Q is widely regarded to be Lu Xun's finest work.
