history
Born in Shaoxing, Zhou Shuren took the pen name 鲁迅 in 1918 when he published 《狂人日记》 (Diary of a Madman), the first major work in vernacular Chinese fiction. He used over 100 pen names during his life; 鲁迅 stuck.
culture
There is a Chinese internet meme: 鲁迅说过的话，周树人可不一定承认 (‘what Lu Xun said, Zhou Shuren wouldn’t necessarily admit’), used to mock fake quote attributions. The joke only works because they are the same person.
