This book reads and examines Lu Xun and his works within specific "spaces" and "times." His creative passion stems from the rural memories and urban experiences gained from these three spaces, and the "Lu Zhen (Shaoxing) World," "Beijing World," and "Shanghai World" he created form the core of Lu Xun's literary world. The selection of this book is primarily based on the spatial transformations during Lu Xun's creative period. At the same time, it reflects the special status of these three spaces in traditional China, modern China, and its transformation.
