Features: This book includes 31 essays written by Lu Xun between 1925, along with one preface and one postscript. "Hua Gai Ji" (The Encrusted Cap) engages in a struggle against feudalism and the culture of compradorism and foreign servility. The focus of its critique has shifted from broad social criticism to intense political struggles. "I have long hoped that Chinese youth would stand up and criticize Chinese society and civilization without hesitation." The language in "Hua Gai Ji" is concise and incisive, vividly depicting typical figures with profound and sharp satire.
Includes illustrations by Qiu Sha and Wang Wei Jun. The two artists, Qiu Sha and Wang Wei Jun, have dedicated their lives to "revealing the ideological system of Lu Xun" with their brushes. Through persistent exploration, meticulous craftsmanship, and bold creativity, they have faithfully recreated Lu Xun's world with "accurate understanding, profound expression, and exquisite artistry."
