Features: Among the writers of the 20th century China, none have had a greater impact on later generations or left as many topics for discussion as Lu Xun. His works continue to have a vast readership. However, Lu Xun is also a difficult figure to describe. To delve into his inner thoughts is quite challenging. The depth and complexity of Lu Xun's thought make it often awkward for later generations to express themselves when approaching him. This series, "Looking Back at Lu Xun," compiles memoirs and research writings about Lu Xun from both domestic and international scholars, representing one of the most comprehensive and large-scale collections of Lu Xun studies to date. Lu Xun studies have long been recognized as a prominent field of academic inquiry, and this field will continue to shine brightly. This book is part of the "Looking Back at Lu Xun" series. It primarily collects memoirs about Lu Xun written by overseas scholars and friends, with a majority of the authors being Japanese, such as Hikoo Kujo, Yoshio Tani, and Hyogo Sudo, among others. These authors were mostly acquainted with Lu Xun during his time studying in Japan, and they describe this great master of Chinese literature from the perspective of foreigners, allowing readers to gain a more diverse understanding of Lu Xun.
