22. 鲁迅
Lu Xun is the pen name of the writer born as Zhou Shuren in 1881 in a family with a deep Confucian background. Owing to the decline of his family fortunes, Lu Xun's childhood was filled with hardship. In 1904, he went to Sendai, in Japan, to study medicine, but he soon realized that China needed far more“spiritual medicine”than treatment for physical ills. Therefore, he returned to Tokyo in 1906, and decided to give up studying medicine and devote himself to education and literature. Lu Xun has been considered as China's greatest modern writer during the 20th century. Chairman Mao called him“commander of China's cultural revolution”.
鲁迅是作家周树人的笔名，生于1881年，其家庭有深厚的儒家背景（Confucian background）。由于家道中落，鲁迅的童年充满了苦难。1904年，他去了日本仙台学医，但很快意识到中国对“精神医学”的需要远远超过治疗身体疾病的需要。因此，鲁迅在1906年回到东京，决定放弃医学，投身于教育和文学事业。他一直被视为中国20世纪最伟大的现代作家。毛主席称他为“中国文化革命的主将”。
