I found it on Marxists.org under the title madman's diary, fun read!
(Anyone who's overly literal minded like me, it can be worth looking up an analysis of the story, too. I could tell generally what it was getting at but made one or two leaps of logic too far and landed on a more narrow interpretation)
I always mix up the title like that lol, yeah it's Madman's diary.
Shanghai Foxtrot by Mu Shiying is another really interesting one, though the writing is more experimental. I'm a fan of May Fourth movement writers lol.
