ABSTRACT

As a representative writer in the early stage of Chinese new literature, Lu Xun has always been regarded as a firm soldier on the enlightenment front.The foolish Chinese images in his works have also been regarded as the sybol of anti- feudalism and anti-traditional ethics by scholars in various periods. However, it is undoubtedly a misreading of Lu Xun to simply analyze his works from this certain angle. Lu Xun did not have no doubts about enlightenment, nor did he completely deny the traditional rural society. Lu Xun's understanding of enlightenment is complex. From "in the Wine Shop" and "Loner", Lu Xun expressed his dual doubts about the two lifestyles of adherents and drifters in his unique way of questioning back and forth, showing his profound thinking on enlightenment. The different images of the two failed enlighteners also reflected Lu Xun's exploration of the internal causes of Enlightenment failure. Lu Xun's enlightener attitude has duality, this may be the necessary starting point for a comprehensive understanding of Lu Xun's creative thoughts.
