Father of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun, is the first writer to use the vernacular to write fiction. In his short stories, he exposes the crimes of feudalism and describes the plight of the peasants, who have been economically exploited and spiritually enslaved. He also depicts the fate of the intellectuals who struggle in the intense social contradictions. His fiction has laid a solid foundation for the development of modern Chinese fiction. Lu Xun has created almost all the new forms for Chinese new literature, and enjoys the most prominent status in the Chinese literary development in the 20th century. His writings reflect the great achievements of the literary reform since the May Fourth Movement.
