Among the modern writers in China, no one can participate himself into the literatureand culture fields so influential by his own writing career as Lu Xun ever did. As an historicalcharacter being read and paraphrased, his influence mainly results from his ability ofstrengthening the complicated conflict of the characters and keeping balance in the utmostexpanding structure. Among the various ideological conflicts in Lu Xun's mind, the formationand evolvement of death is the most difficult to understand, which exerts a great influence onhis general thought, on the behavior of considering and solving problems, and it also hascompound effects on his creative writing.Lu Xun related the image and topic of death to all his types of literature works in his life,so it is no question that death is the masterstroke in his writing. The ideology of death ismainly out of his family misfortune and his sympathy personality, it finally sublimated theresponsibility about his own life and the country with the integration of evolutionism. As theresult, Lu Xun, facing the life dilemma, he took the attitude to find a way out of the trouble, toresist the despair and to call for a reasonable existence and living idea according to the theoryof evolutionism. The philosophy merged and reflected tortuously and distinctively in hisworks formed the distinct aspect and characters about death narration.According to the different topics connected with death in Crying Out and Wandering,there are three main categories 1. Symbolization of culture nature. 2.Life mirror ofinconstancy of human relationships. 3. Allusion of psychological dilemma.

Lu Xunexplored all kinds of tricks and desires of killing in China, and named the culture combinedwith the customs as the cannibal one. It is an accurate and penetrating recapitulation to thehypocritical and deceptive history of Chinese. In the second category, Lu Xun showed usinconstancy of human relationships by describing all sorts of reflection to death connectingwith related public opinions and folklores. In the third category, Lu Xun showed psycheembarrassment of the protagonists or other characters that have close relationships with theprotagonists by depicting death narration. related to the topic and the types of death, his worksform different features in expression: firstly, to contain and anatomize the characters or depictthe protagonists' felling and pondering to their lives;Secondly, to stress the significance oflife containing in the death while mention the concrete death reasons lightly;Thirdly, todescribe the death setting by using the ritual methods in which Lu Xun embodied some kindof typical original meaning or complex feeling;Fourthly, the constructive pivot of this type ofnovel was formed by the narrator's intervention and his moral self-communion in deathnarration.To summarize, we realize the topic of death that Lu Xun discussed is not only the faithfulportrayal to the reality, but also the reflection of his distinct personality and his thought. Hecould explore the miserable souls of his commonest and filthy protagonists and revealed thedeficiency of values by describing the hardship of lives, Lu Xun also put himself in thesuffering situation to mold himself as the national martyr, so that he fulfilled and realized hisoath ------" I would devote my life to my beloved country".
