Lu Xun, abandoned medicine and joined the literature. Lu Xun wanted to enlighten the people of China through medicine. But his dream didn't last long before it was shattered by the harsh reality. In Japan, as a citizen of a weak country, Lu Xun is often discriminated against by Japanese with militaristic tendencies. In their eyes, all China people are "imbeciles". Lu Xun scored 95 points in anatomy, so he suspected that Fujino Genkuro, the anatomy teacher, had leaked the examination questions to him. This made Lu Xun feel deeply sad as a weak country. On one occasion, in a slide show before class, Lu Xun saw a China man being beheaded by the Japanese army, while a group of China people stood by and watched. Lu Xun was greatly stimulated. This made him realize that mental numbness is more terrible than physical weakness. To change the tragic fate of the Chinese nation in the world, the first thing is to change the spirit of China people, and the first thing that is good at changing the spirit of China people is literature and art, so Lu Xun left Sendai Medical College and returned to Tokyo to translate foreign literary works, organize literary magazines, publish articles and engage in literary activities. At that time, what he discussed most with his friends was China's national character: what is the ideal human nature? What is China's national character lacking most? What is the root cause? Through this kind of thinking, Lu Xun linked his personal life experience with the fate of the whole Chinese nation, which laid the basic ideological foundation for him to become a writer and thinker later.

During his study in Japan, Lu Xun initially formed his world outlook and outlook on life. However, Lu Xun's thoughts and feelings were not only incomprehensible to most Japanese at that time, but also difficult to get a wide response from students studying in China. The foreign novels he translated can only sell dozens, and the literary magazines he organized can't be published because of lack of funds. The difficulty of family planning forced Lu Xun to return to China to find a job. From 65438 to 0909, he returned from Japan and taught in Hangzhou Zhejiang Normal School (now Hangzhou Senior High School) and Shaoxing High School. This period is a period of extreme depression of Lu Xun's thought. 19 1 1 year also excited him for a while, but then Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, zhang xun restoration and other historical scandals were constantly staged. The Revolution of 1911 did not change the reality of China's stagnation and backwardness. The social chaos, the national disaster and the misfortune of personal marriage all made Lu Xun feel depressed and depressed. After the May 4th Movement, his repressed thoughts and feelings exploded like lava through literary works. At that time, he was already working in the Ministry of Education and moved to Beijing with the Ministry of Education.
