Lu Xun, originally named Zhou Shuren, was a prominent Chinese writer, essayist, and literary critic. Born on September 25, 1881, in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, China, he is considered one of the most significant figures in modern Chinese literature and cultural reform movements during the early 20th century. Lu Xun studied medicine in Japan and later worked as a doctor, but his true passion lay in literature and social commentary. He is known for his sharp critiques of Chinese society, particularly during the tumultuous periods of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. His works often highlighted the struggles of the common people, the oppressive feudal system, and the need for social and cultural reform. One of Lu Xun's most famous works is the short story collection "Call to Arms" (also known as "Wandering" or "Na Han"), published in 1923. This collection includes stories such as "The True Story of Ah Q," which satirizes traditional Chinese society, and "The New Year's Sacrifice," which portrays the plight of women in a patriarchal society.
