As is well known, Don Quixote's footsteps have been found in texts from very different eras, languages and cultures, which not only talk about the importance of Cervantes' work, but also about the way in which it has been read and interpreted. This is what happens with a short story considered the first Chinese modern novel, entitled A Madman's Diary, published in 1918 by Lu Xun, father of modern Chinese literature, as well as a great reader of Cervantes. We don't have documents that support that he imitated the alcalaíno in his writing; however, some of his works, like the one cited, are often compared to Don Quixote, by Hispanists and Chinese readers, especially in regard to the treatment of madness. It is precisely the relationship between these two texts that is analyzed in the pages of this article.
