Features: The Flowers Are Plucked at Dusk is creatively unique in its style, blending the narrative techniques of fiction with the charm of essays, creating a distinctive writing style. When people are lonely, they often recall the past, and feelings of sorrow and regret are common, aren't they? However, Lu Xun neither repents nor shows arrogance. His indifferent attitude toward the traces of the old era reveals his deep sincerity and honesty. His overly harsh and cartoonish brushwork clearly subverts the life order of the old China. Amidst the satire, there is also so much warmth, leaving readers deeply moved for a long time. Indeed, the imagery provided by the master on both the poetic and historical fronts is difficult to summarize with simple theoretical concepts.
