Lu Xun (25 September 1881 – 19 October 1936) was a “distinguished writer at the forefront of national emancipation”. In his short writing career of just thirty years (1907-1936), he composed three collections of short stories, one collection of prose poems, and sixteen collections of essays. His works contributed much to Chinese society and culture. Like a “warrior in spirit”, Lu Xun used his humorous pen to consistently and incessantly fight against the feudal, imperialist, and dark forces of society. Through his writings, he voiced his opinions and sought to address the ills of the Chinese society. One of the recurring themes in Lu Xun’s works is the portrayal of onlookers (spectators). Xu Yan (许燕), a renowned scholar provides an insightful analysis of the psychological traits of these onlookers.
