Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Lu Xun

5.0

Flawlessly scathing piece criticising Imperial China and its refusal to move on from Confucian thought.

I'd recommend "The Real Story of Ah-Q" (also by Lu Xun) and "Sinking" by Yu Dafu if you want to find more criticism of the Chinese mindset by youths of the early 1900s.
