Lu Xun

Lu Xun is the pen name of Zhou Shuren (1881-1936). His works, including The True Story of Ah Q and A Madman's Diary, put him in the league of leading Chinese writers that ushered Chinese literature into the modern era. Quotes like "Originally there is no path in this world, but when there are many who have walked upon it, then a path came into being," have been cited many times by many both at home and abroad. Xi has also cited his quotes on many occasions to call for the spirit of Chinese people.
