Hesitation

【Content Introduction】
"Wandering" is Lu Xun's second collection of short stories, comprising eleven pieces written between 1924 and 1925. Written during the ebb of the May Fourth Movement and the emergence of divisions within the New Culture Movement, the author, while feeling "lonely" and "desolate" because he had become "a vagrant, unable to form a battle formation," "was also summarizing past experiences, seeking new comrades, and planning new battles." Published against this backdrop, "Wandering" exhibited "better technique and a seemingly less restrained mindset than his first collection, "Call to Arms," ​​but the will to fight had cooled considerably."
The new edition of "Wandering" fully includes the eleven novels written by Lu Xun from 1924 to 1925, as well as a long reading note written by Mr. Chen Danqing specifically for the new edition.
【Editor's Recommendation】
Chen Danqing says, "I'm grateful for my childhood reading. During the early years of the Cultural Revolution, all literary interpretation was suspended, primary and secondary schools were closed, and there were no textbooks. No one pressed my head, telling me what Kong Yiji and Ah Q 'represented'. I didn't even know, but that was literature." That's how the young Chen Danqing read "Wandering," and simply loved it. It became his "most fascinated novel. The title alone was magical: 'Wandering,' and I would wander the alleys bored every day." Fifty years later, what would he feel when rereading Guomai's new edition of "Wandering"? This 3,058-word postscript is sincerely recommended by Chen Danqing.
The young painter Murong Yindao created eleven sets of print illustrations for this book, which are exquisite and worth collecting!
【Celebrity Recommendation】
"When I was twelve, my mother gave me the Selected Works of Lu Xun. From then until I was twenty, I seem to have read Lu Xun's works several times, especially the short, yet sharp and profound short stories collected in 'Call to Arms' and 'Wandering'." — Kenzaburo Oe (1935-), Japanese writer and Nobel Prize winner in Literature (1994)
"The novel that fascinates me most is still Lu Xun. Just the title is magical: "Call to Arms" and "Wandering". Oh my god, I also want to scream at the top of my lungs - although I don't know what to scream or why - I also wander around the alleys every day bored." - Chen Danqing, artist and literary critic "You should read Lu Xun's original texts and read less articles by those of us who study Lu Xun. This is true." - Sun Yu, Executive Vice President of the Chinese Lu Xun Research Association and former Director of the Lu Xun Museum
