This novel collection was launched by Xinchao Publishing House in August 1923. It contains fourteen novels including "Diary of a Madman", "Medicine" and "Tomorrow". It received a great response after its publication. In the preface to "The Scream", Lu Xun talked about the process and purpose of abandoning medicine and pursuing literature. In 1898, he went to Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy to study. The next year, he transferred to the Mining and Railway School attached to Jiangnan Naval Academy. After graduating in 1902, he was sent by the Qing government to study in Japan. In 1904, he entered the Medical College in Sendai. In 1906, he stopped studying medicine and returned to Tokyo to prepare for the literary and artistic movement. It was an experience of watching cartoons in class that made him abandon medicine and pursue literature. He recalled: 'Once, I suddenly saw many Chinese people whom I had not seen for a long time in the picture. One was tied in the middle, and many stood on the left and right. They all had strong physiques but looked numb. According to the explanation, the person tied up was a military detective who worked for Russia, and was about to be beheaded by the Japanese army for public display, and the people surrounding him were people who came to appreciate this public display. ’ He ‘feels that medicine is not an important matter. All the stupid and weak citizens, no matter how healthy and strong they are, can only serve as meaningless publicity materials and spectators. The number of deaths from illness should not be considered unfortunate. Therefore, our first priority is to change their spirit, and what is good at changing their spirit is that I thought that of course we should promote literature and art, so I wanted to promote a literary and art movement. ’ Lu Xun also talked about how he submitted novels such as “Diary of a Madman” to “New Youth”. He once asked a friend who ran "New Youth": "Suppose an iron house has no windows and is extremely difficult to destroy. There are many sleeping people inside, and they will soon be suffocated to death. However, from sleep to death, and The sorrow of dying without feeling it. Now that you are shouting loudly and startling a few more sober people, causing these unfortunate few to suffer the irreparable pain of death, do you think you are worthy of them? ’ The man replied: ‘However, since a few people are up, you can’t say that there is absolutely no hope of destroying this iron house. ’ So he wrote “Diary of a Madman”, and since then he has published more than ten other chapters. Lu Xun hoped that his works could wake up the people in the "iron house" and save the people of the country. Talking about the title of "The Scream", he said: "In myself, I thought that now I am no longer a person who is urgent and can't say anything, but maybe I still can't forget the sadness of my loneliness back then, so Sometimes I still have to shout a few times to comfort the warrior who is running in loneliness, so that he will not be afraid to move forward. As for whether my shouting is brave or sad, hateful or ridiculous, I have no time to care about it; but since it is a shout, of course I must obey the general's orders, so I often don't hesitate to use a song pen. In "Medicine" A wreath was placed on Yu'er's grave. In "Tomorrow", it is not mentioned that Shan Si's sister-in-law did not realize the dream of seeing her son, because the general at that time did not advocate negativity. As for myself, I don’t want to infect the loneliness that I feel I suffer from to the young people who are having good dreams just like me when I was young.
