Lonely Planet review

Lu Xun (1881-1936), born in Shàoxīng in Zhèjiāng province, is often regarded as the father of modern Chinese literature. As a writer, Lu Xun, who first trained in medicine, articulated a deep yearning for reform by mercilessly exposing the foibles of the Chinese people's character. Hampered by a shortage of English captions, the museum's collection of photos and manuscripts remains largely impenetrable to all but the most erudite.
