    Ibid. Von Wallis notes: Lu Xun’s version of this passage from Also Sprach Zarathustra (1883–1885) is probably based on a Japanese language translation of the German original, or an even further–moved Japanese translation of the English version. Whether the clause is a free translation or Lu Xun’s own interpretation of the text, some discrepancy exists.
