What was the difference between the Humanities Society's Complete Works of Lu Xun and the Humanities Society's Lu Xun standalone edition?

I want to buy some of Lu Xun's works, but I don't have much money right now, so I want to ask if I can get the complete works if I buy a single volume now, or if it's more complete.

Answer 1

The difference between the Complete Works of Lu Xun by the Humanities Society and Lu Xun's solo edition by the Humanities Society was the publishing organization and the publishing method.
The Humanities Society was Lu Xun's authorized official publication. The Complete Works of Lu Xun was the most complete collection of Lu Xun's works, including Lu Xun's essays, novels, essays, poems, and other works. On the other hand, the Humanities Society's Lu Xun's standalone edition was a booklet published separately based on some works in the Complete Works of Lu Xun. Each standalone edition would contain an independent work.
In addition, the Humanities Society's " Complete Works of Lu Xun " was published in a different way. In addition to the printing and distribution of the entire book, it would also occasionally release pamphlets, essays, novels, and other works in different forms. On the other hand, the Humanities Society's Lu Xun's single edition was mainly distributed in the form of a booklet, which could be purchased in bookstores or online as needed.
Therefore, the Humanities Society's "Complete Works of Lu Xun" and the Humanities Society's Lu Xun's standalone edition were different in terms of publishing institutions and publishing methods. The readers could choose the version that suited them according to their own needs.
