In the writing of classical Chinese poetry as a non-mainstream form in the history of modern Chinese literature
Lu Xun left a discontinuous but unique footprint which could not be replaced by his writing of poetry in vernacular Chinese. Among such poems
the seven-character quatrain
Inscription on My Photograph
written in the early days of his studying in Japan and the seven-character poem
Long Nights
written in February 1931 both marked clearly the dramatic changes and profound turning points of Lu Xun's character and ideological pursuit. To understand this accurately and truthfully
we must carefully sort out and analyze the process and background of the writing of these two poems.
