Abstract

Lu Xun is a heroic figure in China. He tried to enlighten the people and awaken them with his various works. All his works are very close to reality and stand at the forefront to expose the cruel truth of the dark society. Being close to reality, it is the words that go deep into people's hearts. His works in various forms are popular with people, who can easily relate to their life reality. His Western hybrid writing style makes people from all walks of life like writing. Due to such a wide influence and popularity, his works attract politicians who try to reach people and promote their agenda through Lu Xun's works. In this review paper, through literature review, the researcher tries to examine how Lu Xun's awakening intentions in his works and the exploitative intentions of the political world produce conflicting convergences.
