譯／編／作者簡介

The translators, Yang Xianyi and his English wife Gladys Yang, are scholars and translators in their own right. Both of them were graduates of the Oxford University and have successfully rendered into English many contemporary and classical works. Faithfully and elegantly translated into fluent English by the notable couple, these authoritative works of Lu Xun should be useful reading materials to English readers who cannot read the Chinese original.



* First time in traditional Chinese characters.
