ABSTRACT

Lu-Xun berated the history of cannibalism through the lips of a madman in his A Madman's Diary which was published in 1918. Also, the writer strongly argued in The True Story of Ah Q which was published from 1921 to 1922 that the Chinese mind should be transformed through the Ah Q's ‘Approach of Mental Victory’. In 1994, Lin-Liming published The After Story of Ah Q in which Ah Q got rescued from being nearly perished by getting the helps of Wu-ma and Mr. He, got married to Wu-ma, had two sons, and took part in the Revolution. Ah Q had Mr. Gujiu as his tactician under him during the Revolution, got victory after victory, and became the head of Q-Zhuang. In his victories, there followed so many innocent victims. While he was a victim captured by people before, and now the head of Q-Zhuang became someone who made victims, who eat people. Ah Q was a trapper, unknowingly, while Mr. Gujiu was a person who searched for the trap places. Mr. He handled the game that was caught in the traps. Mr. Zhao-Gui was a manufacturer and supplier of Eight Hundred Peng God of Longevity Medicine which was made with the materials(which was human beings) that they sent him, living in Wolf Village. The story showed that how hard it is to get rid of the deep-rooted evil practice, to reform the sick society and to transform man’s mind.
