In his prose poem Revenge II, Lu Xun rewrites the story of the Crucifixion and constructs an incomprehensible image of Jesus which seems alien to us. Based on detailed textual and historical analysis, this paper argues that Revenge II is not intended to sneer at or criticize Christianity as some scholars have proposed. Instead, it presents a symbolic literary work in which Lu Xun adapts the narrative of the Crucifixion in Gospels, particularly Mark's Gospel, to convey his own philosophy of life through his symbolic image of Jesus. In Revenge II, ”He,” namely Jesus, symbolizes those few prophets (xianjuezhe), who are often persecuted by the commonplace mass (yongzhong) in modern China. The bold psychological description of Jesus being crucified also reveals the complex inner world of Lu Xun and reflects his absolute loneliness, depression and the feeling of being abandoned by everyone after continuous frustrations in enlightening the Chinese people and remolding the National Character. Furthermore, this paper tries to explain why ”his” story of the Crucifixion is entitled Revenge and illustrates the theme of revenge in this prose poem whose special essence, I believe, is subversion in every sense. All in all, Lu Xun's Revenge II provides a good case study of the influence of Christianity on modern Chinese writers and also reflects the strong life-force and appeal of Jesus across different eras, nations and cultures.
