Mao Zedong (proletarian revolutionary): "Lu Xun's bones are the hardest. He's not servile. This is the most precious character of colonial and semi-colonial people. Lu Xun is a national hero on the cultural front. " "Lu Xun was the leader of China's Cultural Revolution. He is not only a great writer, but also a great thinker and revolutionary. " "

Jin Liangshou (Korean literary critic): "The writer who occupied the largest territory in the East Asian cultural edition in the 20th century."

Fadeev (Soviet writer): "Lu Xun is a real China writer. Because of this, he has contributed a lot of national works to world literature, which cannot be imitated. His language is in folk form. Although his satire and humor have human commonness, they also have national characteristics that cannot be imitated. " He also evaluated Lu Xun as "Gorky of China".

Guo Moruo (poet and scholar): "Lu Xun is a revolutionary thinker, an epoch-making literary writer, a realistic historian, an educator who sets an example and an internationalist who longs for human liberation."

Takeuchi Haomei (Japanese literary critic): "Lu Xun is the mother of modern China national culture."

Neutral evaluation

Hu Shi (the enlightener of modern thought): "Lu Xun is a liberal and will never give in to external forces." Lu Xun is one of us. "

Wang Meng (former Minister of Culture of the Republic, a famous contemporary writer): "Our writers are all like Lu Xun. Isn't that great?" Not at all. There is a Lu Xun in the literary world, which is a very remarkable thing. What if there are fifty Luxun? Oh, my God! "

Xia Zhiqing (Chinese-American, a famous literary historian): "Generally speaking, Lu Xun was dominated by his time, not a mentor and satirist of his time."

Negative evaluation

Cheng (proletarian revolutionary): "We China people have a common problem. When novels are popular, we call everything novels, which is easy to misunderstand. The author is admired by thousands of people and has a great influence on ordinary young people. I am particularly dissatisfied with him. "

Jiang Menglin (former headmaster of Peking University, modern educator): "I know that his early works, such as Diary of a Madman and The True Story of Ah Q, are just for fun. They satirize the old ethics and social status quo to show their speed."

Wang Shuo (contemporary writer): "I never thought that Lu Xun's novels were well written. His novels are so boring. Lu Xun's vernacular Chinese was in its infancy in the 1920s and 1930s, and it was not completely divorced from the influence of classical Chinese. It was also awkward to read and always ambiguous. "

Su (modern writer): "Lu Xun's psychology is completely morbid, and his personality is despicable, which is particularly surprising." He can't even reach the minimum' human' qualification. However, his followers and leftist literati exaggerated him into an unprecedented saint, as if Confucius, Sakyamuni and Christ were not as good as him. Young people believe it, admire others after reading others' books, and become Lu Xun under the influence of their morbid psychology and despicable personality. Is this good? "
