Lu Xun was the pen name of Zhou Shuren (1881-1936), a famous Chinese writer, thinker and revolutionary. He was a leading figure of modern Chinese literature.

Lu Xun was born in Shaoxing in East China's Zhejiang province in 1881. He gave up medical studies in Japan in his 20s after realizing that it was more important to spiritually enlighten his compatriots rather than to cure their physical diseases.

Through his works, the master of irony produced harsh criticism of social problems in China.
