Lu Xun's psychological, truthful, and merciless stories laid the foundations for realism in modern Chinese literature. The images of the pitiful day laborer Ah Q, the fallen scholar Kong Yiji, and the unfortunate servant Xianglin became iconic; their personalities and destinies opened the Chinese people to a new perspective on themselves and on the Chinese society that Lu Xun dreamed of changing and leaving behind.

The title story, "Notes of a Madman," is a poignant tale exposing the inhumanity of feudal society, making its mark in the history of modern Chinese literature as the first text written not in the ancient written language, but in the modern spoken language.

This collection also includes iconic novellas and short stories from the collections "The Cry," "Wanderings," "Wild Herbs," and "Old Legends in a New Edition."
