1 1988 Liu, Xiaobo. Xuan ze de pi pan [ID D18347].
Liu schreibt : We can then see why Lu Xun so glorified Nietzsche, the theory of evolution, and symbols of suffering. Nietzsche was the smasher of idols, the symbol of individual freedom ; the theory of evolution is the replacement of the old by the new, the symbol of free competition ; and symbols of suffering is sensual life, the symbol of subconscious distress and the tragedy of existence.

2 1990 Liu, Xiaobo. Yi ge fan chuan tong zhu yi zhe de fan xing [ID D18348].
Liu schreibt : After Lu Xun had transcended Chinese reality and culture by means of critique, he was utterly cut off. Unable to endure the confrontation with the unknown, with the loneliness and terror of the grave by himself, and unwilling to carry on a transcendental dialogue with himself under the gaze of God, the traditional utilitarian personality was reborn within him. Lacking transcendental values, Lu Xun could only fall into decadence. He desired only to 'rebel against the darkness' which surrounded him, but was unable to transcend darkness. Although deeply influenced by Nietzsche, Lu Xun's greates difference from Nietzsche was this : after his disillusionment with humanity, with Western culture and with himself, Nietzsche, fortified by his reference to the 'Übermensch' who transcends all, moved toward the elevation of individual life. But after his disillusionment with the Chinese, with Chinese culture and with himself, Lu Xun never found a frame of reference for transcendental values, turning back insead to the reality he had completely abandoned.
