Lu Xun (September 25, 1881-October 19, 1936) was a famous modern Chinese writer, ideologist, revolutionary, and fighter for democracy. The first time he used the pen name Lu Xun was in 1918 when he published a novel called "A Madman's Diary", which became a classic in modern Chinese literature.

"Lu Xun" was not his pen name but his real name. The first time he used this pen name was in 1881 when he published an article in New Youth magazine called "Madman's Diary".
The main reason why Lu Xun used this pen name was to distinguish his real name, Lu Xun. During the Republic of China, many people had the same or similar names, so they often used pen names to distinguish them. This pen name "Lu Xun" was also given to him by a teacher named Zhou Shuren. Lu Xun's original name was Zhou Shuren. When he used this pen name, he often used his surname and the last two characters of his first name as pen names such as "Lu Xun","Zhou Shuren","Mrs. Lu Xun" and so on. This was because he wanted to use this pen name to express his thoughts and literary style. At the same time, it was also a kind of identity symbol that could let people remember his true identity. Lu Xun used this pen name to better engage in his literary career because at that time, a pen name was not an officially recognized identity symbol. Using a pen name might affect his career development. Therefore, when Lu Xun used this pen name, he also expressed his persistence and pursuit of his true identity. He hoped that through his own efforts and creation, he could change people's views on the pen name as a fake identity.
Zhou Shuren first used the pen name Lu Xun in 1918. At that time, in order to avoid the invasion of Japanese imperialists, he sent his works to Hong Kong and published them there.

One of the most famous works was The Scream, which was considered a classic of modern Chinese literature.

His works were regarded as one of the treasures of Chinese literature and had a profound influence on the development of modern Chinese literature and thought.
Lu Xun used many pen names when he wrote novels, among which the more famous ones were Zhou Shuren, Zheng Zhenduo, Mao Dun, Lao She, Cao Yu, etc. Most of these pen names were used to hide from the public and avoid attracting too much attention.

The pen name Lu Xun used was Zhou Shu Ren. He started using this pen name in 1898. The pen name came from the fact that he was a copywriter in the Qing Dynasty government at that time, and often wrote various books for the government. Because of his good writing and his radical political views, he was appreciated by the Qing government and became an official. However, Lu Xun was not satisfied with this. He wanted to have his own independent creative space. Therefore, he left the Qing government and began his own creative career. In the process of writing, he often used his pen name to express his political and literary views. Zhou Shuren was also the pen name he chose to express his creative ideas and style. He hoped that by using this pen name, more people could see his works and understand his thoughts and literary value.
