The writer i like most is Lu Xun ( 鲁迅 his pen name) Born in Shao xin, Zhejiang province, Lu Xun was named Shu Ren(周 樹人) it meant "to nurture a person". He was the eldest of four brothers. The Chou family was very well-educated.
Lu Xun was educated at schools for western knowledge and languages,for example: English, German, reading, amongst some translated books. On a Qing government scholarship , Lu Xun left for Japan in 1902. He first attended the Kobun Gakuin , a preparatory language school for Chinese students attending Japanese universities.
One of his essay I like most is "Mr Fujino"(藤野先生). When he studied in Sendai Medical Speciality School that wanted save more and more people's health in the future in Japan ,have a very closed relationship with his teacher,Mr Fujino.There were a few things came up to him that he wrote it in the essay.One day after class, one of his instructors screened a documenting imminent execution of an alleged Chinese spy during the Russo-Japanese War . Lu Xun was shocked by the complete apathy of the Chinese onlookers; he decided it was more important to cure his compatriots' spiritual ills rather their physical diseases.
"At the time, I hadn't seen any of my fellow Chinese in a long time, but one day some of them showed up in a slide. One, with his hands tied behind him, was in the middle of the picture; the others were gathered around him. Physically, they were as strong and healthy as anyone could ask, but their expressions revealed all too clearly that spiritually they were calloused and numb. According to the caption, the Chinese whose hands were bound had been spying on the Japanese military for the Russians. He was about to be decapitated as a 'public example.' The other Chinese gathered around him had come to enjoy the spectacle."( from his essay 'Mr Fujino')
After that he gave it up and went to Tokyo in spring 1906, he came under the influence of scholar and philologist Zhang taitan and with his brother Zuoren, also on scholarship, published a translation of some East European and Russian Slavic short stories that he really wanted change Chinese people's spirit by those western Literature.
Then he backed to China for living because he was not successful that no body can understand his spirit and only a few people bought his books, he began to write novels at that time.Lu xun's novels work quantity are not many, the significance is actually significant. Lu Xun concentrated the vision to the social lowest level, described these daily life condition and the energetic condition. Chairman Mao (毛 澤東)said he was the general of Chinese culture revolution,he was not only the greatest writer but also the great thinker and the great revolutionary , he was bravest, was firmest, was most faithful, the most zealous unprecedented national hero. Lu Xun's direction is the Chinese nation new culture direction.
Maybe one person's power is weak, but he could take all people's spirits together.That was what he did, i am proud of him.
