Beschreibung
When I was young I, too, had many dreams. Most of them came to be forgotten, but I see nothing in this to regret. For although recalling the past may make you happy, it may sometimes also make you lonely, and there is no point in clinging in spirit to lonely bygone days. However, my trouble is that I cannot forget completely, and these stories have resulted from what I have been unable to erase from my memory.
After the 1919 May Fourth Movement, Lu Xun's writing began to exert a substantial influence on Chinese literature and popular culture. He was primarily a leftist and liberal and was highly acclaimed by the Chinese government after 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded. Mao Zedong himself was a lifelong admirer of Lu Xun's writing.

Über den Autor
Lu Xun or Lu Hsün was the pen name of Zhou Shuren, (1881 - 1936) a leading figure of modern Chinese literature. Writing in Vernacular Chinese as well as Classical Chinese, Lu Xun was a short story writer, editor, translator, literary critic, essayist and poet. In the 1930s he became the titular head of the League of Left-Wing Writers in Shanghai. In the course of his studies overseas, Lu-shun attended a motion-picture performance and saw the decapitation of a Chinese spy; the sight left him that he wished to do something at once. He resolved to established a school of modem literature in China. He gave up his studies and ultimately, at the age of twenty-nine, he returned to China. In due course Mr. Ch'ien Hsuan-t'ung, asked Lu-shun to contribute to his magazine, the New Youth. Fifteen of the stories that Lu-shun published in New Youth were later collected and published as the now famous "Ne-han."
