Mao Zedong: He is the greatest and most heroic standard bearer in this new culture army. Lu Xun was the leader of China's Cultural Revolution. He is not only a great writer, but also a great thinker and revolutionary. Lu Xun's bones are the hardest. He has no servility and obsequiousness, which is the most precious character of colonial and semi-colonial people.

Cai Yuanpei:

The most rigorous work is The History of China's Novels.

Don't be a short story writer (after Lu Xun died of illness) because his last words still hurt.

Li Ao said in an interview:

I think Lu Xun is too politicized and overrated in Chinese mainland. Lu Xun wrote The True Story of Ah Q and A Brief History of Chinese Novels, both of which are very good books. However, Lu Xun's essays are actually not good. Everyone thinks Lu Xun's essays are sharp, but they are not good. ..... I think Lu Xun is overrated. Even his younger brother Zhou Zuoren said so. He said that Lu Xun might not want to be overvalued like this. Overestimation is not in Lu Xun, but in the person who proves that you overestimate him. There is something wrong with your level.

Wang Shuo: People from all walks of life praised him, sometimes to the point where we can't breathe freely. I don't believe he is so perfect. There is no such person. Since everyone treats each other harshly, he should not be an exception. He should even be a measure. When we can criticize him casually, or everyone forgets him, we will make progress.

Liang Shiqiu s Evaluation of Lu Xun s Literature and Thought in About Lu Xun;

Lu Xun's works, as I have said, are more exciting because of his mixed feelings. But how many of them can become satirical literature with permanent value is still debatable. ..... In terms of novels, ... In my opinion, the best of his short stories is The True Story of Ah Q, and the rest are not like short stories in structure, but like fragmentary sketches of fragments, with some beautiful words and emotional appeal. ..... In terms of literary research, Lu Xun's only commendable work is his "A Brief History of Chinese Novels", and he has studied China's novels ... Since the May 4th Movement, there have been many authors of new literature and art, but few have made real achievements, especially those like Lu Xun. ..... But as a writer, it's not enough just to grumble and complain. He must have a set of positive thoughts and a set of positive views on people and things, even if there is no need to form any system, at least he must have a positive view. It is not enough for Lu Xun to say so. All he has is a negative attitude, which is simply an attitude of "dissatisfaction with the status quo". There is nothing wrong with this attitude.
