The meanings are so profound that layers of people have diligently studied and analyzed, seemingly endless.' (Associate Professor, Translator TRƯƠNG CHÍNH)
• 'Reading Lỗ Tấn, behind the calm, almost cold voice of the storyteller, we feel an intense and warm enthusiasm. Lỗ Tấn has the demeanor of an experienced doctor: very compassionate for the patient but when inserting the scalpel into the sick child, the first necessary thing is a calm and cautious attitude. Indeed, the author has the intention of self-restraint to allow the pen to dig deep into the social ulcer, to strictly adhere to the principles of realism. Therefore, reading Lỗ Tấn's stories, we feel that the author is always hiding, but it seems that we see the author's shadow everywhere.' (Professor LUONG DUY THU)
