Thoughts on Reading Selected Novels of Lu Xun (1) —— Rereading Different Moods of Lu Xun (for Yujie Studio)
Author Lin Xianzhi, born in 1948, is a poet and scholar from Yangjiang, Guangdong.
In his writing, literary and ideological critical articles are the most influential. He has read the Spirit of the May 4th Movement and Fifty Years: An Observation of Prose and Freedom for some time. The article has a unique personal style and is worth savoring.
Lin Xianzhi's comments on Selected Works of Lu Xun gave me a chance to review the spirit of Lu Xun. As the first war pen in China, Mr. Lu Xun should not have thought that his spirit would spread widely in China decades later.
People of all ages and classes have become a modern "keyboard man" with the help of the influence of the Internet, using words as a weapon to safeguard rights. We are no longer a silent country, and the seeds of freedom and democracy have taken root in this land. Netizens criticize the current malpractices on the Internet, actively participate in the discussion of emergencies and hot issues, supervise law enforcement, report illegal acts, promote the progress of social legal system, pay attention to vulnerable groups, and have the opportunity to safeguard their own interests. Our people are different now, and our eyes are no longer muddy and numb.
Although everything should be viewed from both sides, it is undeniable that the progress of science and technology has a positive impact on human civilization.
When Lu Xun was a national night watchman, he saw the cruelty of the surrounding environment in the dark and shouted loudly, hoping to wake up people who were sleeping or pretending to sleep.
His cry and condemnation now seem so kind and clear. When I was at school, I studied some articles by Lu Xun. At the beginning, I learned many profound meanings in the article by rote, and I couldn't understand them. Now I have been in the society for many years, met all kinds of people, heard many strange things, and learned more about this society and people in this land. I have never learned the true meaning written and expressed by Mr. Lu Xun's words.
People really see this era clearly, and it is time for you to blend in here.
I have to admit that I have become the last person I want to see at first, but I am still willing to change, just because my genes have the inner national spirit of fighting against heaven and self-reliance.
Everyone around is asleep.
And you, who stayed up all night, why did you stay up all night? There must be a night watchman, as everyone says. There must be one.
I used to think that everyone around me was asleep, but I was still awake. A sober person is more afraid than a person who sleeps in the dark. At this time, the light of humanity and ideals radiated from his soul is the warmest. He will guide more people to join the night watchman, protect this land that has experienced too much suffering, and protect people who are struggling in this land.
He said: China people have never won the price of others, but they are slaves at most, so far. In a deformed and morbid society, it is required that the mind must become clear, open-minded and peaceful. Just and positive, that is, normal or healthy, is actually impossible.
After Tibet liberated China, the last batch of slaves also disappeared in history. Slaves nowadays are mostly slaves of ideas. I saw many incredible events in the news: vulgar marriage, grandma feeding her grandson live tadpoles, helping the elderly to be wronged and so on. We still have a long way to go, but not too far.
Thoughts on Reading Selected Novels of Lu Xun (Ⅱ) —— Thoughts on reading Lu Xun's novels
There are a thousand hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Lin Xianzhi, the author, adds his own comments or explanations to the novel text, which gives us a glimpse of the author's views on the novel, and enables us to have more fun in communication and thinking while reading the novel.
Speaking of Lu Xun's novels, I can immediately think of Medicine, The True Story of Ah Q and Diary of a Madman, but I pay special attention to The Storm. Maybe it's because the naming method in the novel is too unique-what the baby is called when it is born. The characters are also outstanding: a nine-catty old lady who always says that "this is really worse than the next generation", a seven-catty old lady who was cut into braids and worried, a seven-catty old lady who was fierce and sharp, and a six-catty old lady who was naive but bound her feet.
Next to the first paragraph of The Storm, the author notes that this article is based on "Restoration". In a sense, writing about restoration is also writing about revolution. Lu Xun used a different reaction of a rural family to the restoration of the emperor to show the turmoil of current affairs and the ignorance of the people. But "writing about the restoration is also writing about the revolution", which I have never thought about. Think about it carefully, isn't it revolution that opposes the restoration of the emperor? I cut off seven pounds of braids when I went to town. Combined with modern history, it is not difficult to know that braiding was a policy pursued by Sun Yat-sen after the Revolution of 1911. So what Lu Xun wrote was actually the most important revolution before the new-democratic revolution.
The second paragraph describes the literary giant in the village. He pays attention to the daily life of farmers and is full of poetry. "Nothing to worry about, this is really a farmhouse." Even people like me who are not familiar with the structure and rhythm of poetry now feel that this sentence has nothing to do with poetry. Even if the professional level is not good, the screenwriter can't see the deep level of life. It is ironic to describe him as a writer. No wonder the author Lin Xianzhi will annotate Mr. Lu Xun, which is a criticism of idle literati.
In this storm, Jin Qi's adversary is Zhao. In fact, their dispute was that seven Jin was drunk two years ago and once called Zhao a "bitch". In our opinion, seven pounds is wrong, and the word "cheap fetus" is also irritating, but it is also incredible to gloat over the death risk of the other party. But this Zhao is very diligent. Knowing the news of the restoration of the emperor, I will come to the Qi Jin family to suppress Qi Jin, and I will make the Qi Jin family restless. Zhao's doing this should also be related to his status as a squire. Lin Xianzhi wrote in his notes that in old China, the position of the squire could not be underestimated. Lu Xun's description of Zhao's clothes, words and deeds shows that Zhao's subtle changes express a very dangerous signal, which is dangerous enough to decide life and death. I think of Master Zhao in The True Story of Ah Q again. The ignorant and dark dictatorship in the old countryside is obvious, and this is only a small microcosm of the old society.

Lu Xun's Selected Works and Reflection on Novels (IV): Learn how to express characters.
Everything is based on ideals, and implementation is the result. -Lu Xun
Lu Xun's novels, especially the description of people, have a profound observation divorced from reality. His characters, such as Ah Q, Kong Yiji and Sister Xianglin, are all very distinctive. These people at the bottom, their respective lifestyles, their interpersonal relationships, their handling of things, their attitudes and views on life. Lin Xianzhi's Selected Novels of Lu Xun selected some representative novels for us, such as Diary of a Madman, Ever-burning Lamp, Kong Yiji, White Light, Medicine, Tomorrow, Storm, Hometown and so on.
Lu Xun, formerly known as Zhou Zhangshou, later renamed Zhou Shuren; The word Yushan, later changed to Yucai, was born in Huiji County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, and was a great proletarian writer, thinker and revolutionary in modern China. Lin Xianzhi is a famous contemporary scholar and an expert on Lu Xun.
Diary of a Madman in the book is Lu Xun's first vernacular novel, and it is also a very representative novel. A madman in the eyes of the world, the world in the eyes of a madman, takes the individual as the ego and the individual as the whole. The author covers the surface with points and refers to the group with villains. I need treatment when I am sick, but doctors can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. This is also the reason why Lu Xun abandoned medicine and went to literature. The words "benevolence and morality" in the book are all "cannibalism" in my eyes. In that social environment at that time, we must learn to stand up and fight against these old ideas. They can't save themselves unless they improve their thinking, have their own ideas, improve and make progress. As Lu Xun said, thought is the cause and behavior is the result. Through the analysis of the madman incident, the internal problems are found. Similarly, through the world's view of the madman, let us see this madman; Through the madman's own actions, let us know the madman. We can learn from this writing technique.
Sister Xianglin in the book is a typical representative of rural working women in old China. Belonging to a married husband, she is very obedient and has no ideas of her own. The only resistance is that my mother-in-law wanted to sell her and go to Luzhen as a domestic worker, but she was snatched back by her mother-in-law and sold it. Sister Xianglin has no education or knowledge. She is a typical professional woman who does housework by strength. In the town, before her thoughts improved, she donated her salary to the threshold of the land temple to get rid of her thoughts. Her life is lonely and poor, but more is her spirit. Her husband died, her son died, and she was mentally tortured. She tells the past and tries to get sympathy and comfort from it, but her thoughts are stagnant, and she can't solve her confusion and get rid of her confusion without studying.
Lu Xun's novels should be read carefully. Lu Xun's articles are extensive and profound. He thought and found problems from the height of the country and the people. He considers problems from history to reality, from sweat to life and death. The editorial comments of this book let us see the significance of Lu Xun's articles from a contemporary perspective and have more feelings after reading them.
The characters in the novel are distinctive and unique, and the language is humorous. It is superficial to learn to describe characters and grasp their characteristics through reading, feeling and learning. It is intrinsic to deepen the character and present vivid characters through words and deeds. Then highlight the characters through small things, and show the characteristics of the characters more delicately and meticulously. Good works can make us gain more while reading.
Selected Works and Novels of Lu Xun (5): Lu Xun, my idol.
When I was young, I basically had a collection of novels by Lu Xun and Zhang Ailing at home. When I was in junior high school, I was exposed to the essays of Wang Zengqi and Liang Shiqiu, and I really loved modern literature. But my favorite is Lu Xun.
Later, when I read The Reader, there was a fallacy about Lu Xun, but I felt a little apt-"Lu Xun dragged the wheel of history forward with his own efforts." Unfortunately, the result is just a drop in the bucket.
Lu Xun and Confucius are still different. In Lu Xun's view, China is indeed on the verge of life and death, and the danger of being destroyed by foreign countries is just around the corner. Confucius wanted to restore Zhou Li at that time. In his view, the world in front of us has been ruined, but for those of us who have been facing each other for a long time, it is just a period of history from the thoughtful Qin Dynasty, and the country is still that China. Rites and music at that time were closely related to politics, and Confucius wanted to pull back the wheel of history. Just like a couple who broke up, it is difficult to get back together, but it is easy to break up. When the mistakes of superiors accumulate to a critical point, the country will perish, but it is impossible to re-establish political power. After all, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were still different dynasties.
When I first read Lu Xun's novels, I couldn't swallow some words, but that didn't affect my feeling that Lu Xun's words were so comfortable to read. Some people's words are really enjoyable to read.
Lin Xianzhi, the editor of this book, must be an avid Lu Xun fan. The preface alone has 60 pages, and the text is very profound. We may compare Lu Xun with Russian writers, or discuss the social sufferings reflected in Lu Xun's writings, or discuss Lu Xun's literature and art, or describe Lu Xun's life experience.
In addition to the text of the novel, there are reading guides, fragmented comments and notes added by the author. Reading instructions and comments are very readable. The former introduces the ideological content, artistic forms and achievements of different styles in Lu Xun's novels, while the latter focuses on parts and details, which is a comment that comes from feelings, rather than the standard of every novel.
Sometimes I see Lu Xun in QQ space. In recent years, there have been expressions like "I didn't say that-Lu Xun". Before that, there was slander against Lu Xun. When I was a freshman, a classmate forwarded a passage, saying in the tone of Lu Xun's wife, Zhu An, that Lu Xun was spying on Zhou Zuoren's wife, that is, Lu Xun's own brother and sister taking a bath, which made the two brothers become enemies. This is ridiculous and irritating. I immediately analyzed and discussed with the forwarded classmate, and finally ended with that classmate deleting that paragraph.
Therefore, in terms of length, that is, the words about Lu Xun that most young people come into contact with are not as profound and full as the preface in the book, which makes people feel very sorry and lost.
Lu Xun, later regarded as a saint because of some special needs of the times, was praised as an altar (the same as Confucius). Lu Xun on the altar is far away from the general public. In the new century, Lu Xun has not been correctly interpreted in textbooks. The sentence "One is a jujube tree, the other is a jujube tree" appears in the reading comprehension topic of "the author can't do it", which can only keep young people away from Lu Xun. Later, the frequency of Lu Xun's appearance in primary school textbooks was deleted. Adults have never found the right way to get the younger generation close to Lu Xun.
We young people should still know the real Lu Xun, not regard him as a joke symbol. Zhu An and Xu Guangping, peeping at their younger siblings taking a bath, and Xiao Hong's ambiguity are really ridiculous. Some people really should pay IQ tax. They don't know how many treasures they will miss by belittling Lu Xun.
