Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century．Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people．
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood．In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money．At the same time, his father became seriously ill．From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends．These early experiences greatly influenced his writing．
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern．In 1902 he went to study in Japan．There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines．He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular．He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money．
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing．In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman．It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success．This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer．
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future．In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”．He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government．For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books．He was forced to write his articles using false names．
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown．Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world．

Jia Meng used to keep a diary(日记)in Chinese．But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly．She changed the language because her mother can’t read English．“It’s like killing two birds with one stone．” said Jia, “My privacy(隐私)became safe and my English improves a lot．”
Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary．Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2, 3000 parents．The results show that 40％ of parents read their children’s secrets．That’s why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect(保护)their privacy．
Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too．But he doesn’t write in on paper．He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents “know nothing about the Internet．”
Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room．To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone．
“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing．“ But sometimes they go about it the wrong way．” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution．“If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets．”
