The article “How do we Read Lu Xun in the AI Era?” features an interview with Wang Xiaoming, a renowned cultural studies scholar, discussing the enduring relevance of Lu Xun’s ideas in contemporary society, especially amidst advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Lu Xun always believed that the more the people in a nation are dissatisfied with themselves and engage in selfcriticism, the greater hope it has. Wang highlights that Lu Xun’s concept of "self-confidence" for the Chinese people stems from introspection, self-criticism and social critique. Recognising and addressing flaws, as Lu Xun advocated, is essential for progress, thereby countering the notion that such critique is pessimistic.
