It was the first and one of the most influential works written in vernacular Chinese in Republican-era China, and would become a cornerstone of the New Culture Movement. Lu Xun's stories often critiqued early 20th-century Chinese society, and "Diary of a Madman" established a new language and revolutionary figure of Chinese literature, an attempt to challenge conventional thinking and traditional understanding.
