In 1893，however,his grandfather,a senior government official，was put into prison for taking money. At the same time,his father became seriously ill.

There,he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular.

  After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Mad man.It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

  Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly aboutChina’s future. In 1926,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “ pen warfare ”.
