Diary of a Madman collected 12 short stories written by Mr. Lu Xun, profoundly reflecting the current situation of Chinese social life from the late 19th century to the 1920s, describing the rural life and style under the background of the Revolution of 1911, as well as the fate of intellectuals struggling desperately.Among them, Diary of a Madman pioneered the modern vernacular novel in China, laying the foundation for modern Chinese novel creation.Through the portrayal of the image of the persecuted "e;madman"e; and the autobiographical description of the "e;madman"e;, the novel reveals the "e;cannibalistic"e; nature of feudal ethics, conducts a profound criticism of Chinese feudal culture, and expresses the author's urgent desire for reform and outcry for the times.
