Features: This book includes 10 essays and 1 preface written by Mr. Lu Xun between February and November 1926. The Dawn of a New Day is a collection of essays "copied from memory," "truly and movingly depicting a series of life experiences from the countryside to the city, from family to society, and from China to abroad." The Dawn of a New Day is distinguished by its artistic features: clear love and hatred; a seamless integration of narration and argument, memory and reflection, lyricism and satire; fluent and natural, warm and accessible—"with genuine meaning, without decoration, with minimal pretense, and without showing off."
