Lu Xun believes that if China people's thoughts are not conscious, even if they are cured, they will only be meaningless propaganda materials and spectators. What China needs most now is to change people's mental outlook. He finally made up his mind to give up medicine, become a writer and write with a pen to awaken the people of China.
