Features: This book takes Lu Xun's personality psychology as the research subject, with a particular focus on analyzing those personality and psychological traits that have been overlooked or even regarded as "negative and dark" by people. It primarily involves Lu Xun's sense of guilt, nihilistic mindset, psychological conflicts between self-abuse and aggression, love psychology, as well as the disease and death awareness in his later years, reflecting the author's unique academic insight. Just as only in darkness can light be more vividly seen, only by meticulously examining the subtle factors in Lu Xun's inner world can we gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of his entire personality and spirit. The core of Wu Jun's book is to reveal the various sacrifices Lu Xun made in terms of his personality. I regard this book as the final proof of my youth. I still want to say now that it is a "youthful read" written by a young writer for young people. Of course, it is a book about Lu Xun. The traveler walking alone under the setting sun wants to approach or reach an infinite distance beyond the graves and wildflowers. Although it is an infinite distance, the traveler's only choice remains to move forward without turning back. Here, the illusion or nihilism of the distance is no longer the key; rather, the thought, will, and actions that penetrate the illusion or nihilism of its existence are the theme of "The Traveler." At the same time, precisely because it is "an infinite distance," it will be indescribable, meaning it cannot be expressed in words. "Indescribable" in this context breaks free from the cage of linguistic limitations. And the traveler moving "toward" this infinite distance actually carries the mission of our inner hopes. Thus, we see an image of Lu Xun—a hopeful figure filled with light, warmth, and joy in his heart.—Wu Jun
