Lu Xun's novel creation features:
Lu Xun's novels are unique in material selection. In the choice of themes, Lu Xun only chose the mode of "brave counselors, thieves and thieves, monsters and immortals, talented people and beautiful women, and later prostitutes, rogue slaves and the like" in classical literature, and created the mode of "expressing farmers and intellectuals" with the enlightenment purpose of "for life"
It always pays attention to the mental "sickness" of intellectuals and farmers in the "morbid society". For example, in "Hometown", the most shocking thing is not the poverty after the leap, but the numbness of the mind shown by his "master".
Extended information:
Lu Xun studied medicine when he first came to Japan, but he soon realized that the most important thing to save the people was not "medicine", but to open the ideological shackles and arouse the people to fight.
So, he resolutely decided to give up medicine and follow the literature, and used a sharp pen to open the shady scene of the old world, so that the people could see the ugly face of the rulers and their own ignorance, and work hard quickly. His Diary of a Madman opened the first page of China's new literature, and later he successively created a number of works, such as Medicine, The True Story of Ah Q, Blessing and Mourning for the Past.

As he grew older and was in intense work and fighting for many years, his illness was particularly heavy this time. But Lu Xun didn't want to leave Shanghai to recuperate, and he still had to fight. He often thinks like this: "Instead of living for a few more years without working, it is better to work for a few less years as soon as possible, because the result is still the same, and a few more years will be in vain."
Therefore, at the last moment of his life, whenever his condition improved slightly, he helped write at the bedside. Beautiful essays such as Banxia Collection, This is Life, and Death were created at this time.
On October 19th, 1936, Lu Xun died in his apartment in Shanghai.
