Note: The original Chinese title of this story, 鑄劍, is transcribed as Zhù jiàn in the pinyin notation; it appears as 铸剑 in simplified Chinese characters. It can be translated as "Forging Swords", literally "casting, moulding" (鑄, zhù) swords (劍, jiàn).

Synopsis: In this story based on traditional myths and themes, Lu Xun weighs the cost of seeking justice (and, by extension, of wielding the sword of truth), and suggests that great sacrifices are most certainly required in this particular pursuit [from Wikipedia].
