Dawn blossoms plucked at dusk is a beautiful, evocative phrase familiar to all Chinese people thanks to Lu Xun, who is also known as the father of modern Chinese literature. This great Chinese man of letters once published a collection of essays with this title, and since then it has been used to refer to collections of things of the past. These essays can be appreciated for their literary qualities, and can be adapted for use in language learning - English or Chinese. Each selection is appropriately annotated.

《朝花夕拾》为鲁迅一九二六年所作回忆散文的结集，共十篇。再现一位时代巨人的童年经历，批判封建教育对儿童的压制与束缚；怀念往日亲友和师长的浓浓深情，探寻救国救民的文化真理。本书为鲁迅散文的结集，《朝花夕拾》是对往事的追忆，是“从记忆中抄出来”的散文，“以青少年时代生活经历为线索，真实而动人地抒写了从农村到城镇、从家庭到社会、从国内到国外的一组生活”。本书为英汉对照读物。
