Features: With the continuous development of humanities and Lu Xun studies over the past 20 years, experts and readers have gradually discovered some shortcomings in the 1981 edition: more of Lu Xun's lost writings and letters have been discovered, and the annotations at that time had historical limitations. Additionally, there were some misprints and misarrangements in the book. More importantly, significant achievements in Lu Xun studies should be reflected in the complete collection. What's new in the new edition of The Complete Works of Lu Xun? The revision principle is "based on the 1981 edition, supplemented to address shortcomings, and corrected for errors." According to the current final draft, the new edition of The Complete Works of Lu Xun has increased from the original 16 volumes to 18 volumes, with one additional volume each for letters and diaries, totaling 10 volumes of creative works, 4 volumes of letters, 3 volumes of diaries, and 1 volume of indexes, with a total word count of approximately 7 million. Compared to the 1981 edition, this revision of The Complete Works of Lu Xun focuses on three aspects: the inclusion of lost writings and letters, textual collation of the original works, and the supplementation and revision of annotations.
