Selected Stories Of Lu Hsun

In the 1930s he became the titular head of the League of Left-Wing Writers in Shanghai. When I was young I, too, had many dreams. Most of them came to be forgotten, but I see nothing in this to regret.

However, my trouble is that I cannot forget completely, and these stories have resulted from what I have been unable to erase from my memory.
