Features: As the 20th century draws to a close, when we take a moment to reflect on the journey of Chinese culture in this century and count the influential cultural figures who once dominated the scene, we cannot help but marvel at the rarity of those who can truly be called great thinkers and writers. However, no matter how one ranks them, we believe that Lu Xun is an indispensable figure on this list. In the history of Chinese culture in this century, great thinkers and outstanding writers could each have their own separate lists, but Lu Xun, who embodied both roles, is truly rare. The works of Lu Xun are essential reading for researchers in the humanities and social sciences, as well as bestsellers beloved by general readers. The broad and profound influence of his works far surpasses that of any other cultural figures of his time. Given the unique position of Lu Xun in the history of Chinese culture and the value of his works, we have decided to compile this collection of "Sayings of Lu Xun." It aims to provide people with a quick and accessible "cultural snack" in this fast-paced era, offering a taste of culture during rare moments of leisure. Lu Xun once criticized such "quote-extraction" methods for the risk of misleading readers. With a sense of trepidation, we took the risk of undertaking this work, intending to serve as an introductory guide for people to better understand Lu Xun's writings.
