Lu Xun, courtesy name Yuxian, childhood name Yuanlong, was a rebel of the Jin dynasty (266–420). He was the brother-in-law of the Taoist rebel leader, Sun En, who assumed leadership of the rebellion following Sun's death in 402. While the Jin court was preoccupied with Huan Xuan's usurpation of the throne, Lu Xun led his remaining followers to seize control of Guang province in the far south. After the fall of Huan Xuan in 404, the Jin regent, Liu Yu appeased Lu by acknowledging him as provincial inspector and maintained peace for several years. However, while Liu Yu was away on an expedition against the Southern Yan in 410, Lu Xun and his brother-in-law, Xu Daofu launched a large-scale riverine attack on the Jin that would encompass most of southern China within a year. Lu's forces enjoyed early success, but when Liu Yu returned from his campaign, their numbers gradually dwindled as they suffered defeat after defeat on the battlefield. After months of evading capture, Lu committed suicide in 411.

““蘇聯是無產階級專政的，智識階級就要餓死。”……位有名的記者曾經這樣警告我。是的，這倒恐怕要使我也有些睡不著了。但無產階級專政，不是為了將來的無階級社會麼？只要你不去謀害它，自然成功就早，階級的消滅也就早，那時就誰也不會“餓死”了……然而帝國主義及其奴才們，還來對我們說蘇聯怎麼不好，好像它倒願意蘇聯一下子就變成天堂，人們個個享福。現在竟這樣子，它失望了，不舒服了。——這真是惡鬼的眼淚。……”
“When you talk with famous scholars, the best thing is to pretend that occasionally you do not quite understand them. If you understand too little, you will be despised; if you understand too much, you will be disliked; if you just fail occasionally to understand them you will suit each other very well.”
“I used to think that a man was sentenced to death or imprisonment because he was guilty; now I know that he is found guilty because he is disliked.”
“Rather than worship Confucius and Kuan Kung, one should worship Darwin and Ibsen.”
“The literature of former days is like watching a fire from across the water; in present-day literature, the author himself is being scorched by the fire and he is bound to feel it deeply, and when he begins to feel it deeply, he is bound to take part in the social struggle.”
