The traditional way to interpret this story is autobiographical. It is assumed that the narrator is Lu Xun. That is never stated, but the town the narrator goes back to looks a lot like his hometown, and I believe Lu Xun actually based this off a personal experience...but I would double check that, it has been a while since I read the text, I wouldn't want to write that in a paper if it wasn't solid. Still, in your paper, you can suggest that the narrator is usually assumed by most Chinese readers to be Lu Xun himself.

You seem to think the narrator is male. What from the text, gives you that interpretation?
