In 1893, however, his grandfather was put into prison(监狱) for taking money.At the same time, his father became seriously ill.From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives(亲戚) and friends.These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

After working for a few years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing.In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman.It was the first Chinese novel using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success.This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
