Features: "Entering Lu Xun's World—The Lu Xun Works Interpretation Library·Correspondence Volume" is divided into six categories: "To Writers and Scholars," "To 'Left League' Figures," "To Woodcut Youth," "To Society at Large," "To Lovers and Family," and "To Foreign Friends." It selects 65 representative letters of Lu Xun. Through these letters, we can appreciate Lu Xun's great character of "facing a thousand critics with a cold frown, yet bowing willingly to serve the children" in a perilous environment and under complex political circumstances; understand his distinctive and unique views on literature and art; and perceive his rich, sincere, passionate, and serious inner world toward love, family, comrades, and friends, as well as his unique ways of handling relationships. We can see both the heroic image of Lu Xun as a revolutionary and the ordinary figure of him in real life. Detailed annotations and interpretations are provided after each letter. Especially in the interpretation section, some little-known research materials on Lu Xun's correspondence are used. The compilers' serious scientific attitude, rigorous academic spirit, and lively prose-style writing make this book not only suitable for literary enthusiasts to appreciate but also capable of providing patriotic education for the youth and middle and high school students.
