"I looked at history and found that there was no age in this period of history. On every crooked leaf, the words' benevolence, righteousness and morality' were written. I can't sleep anyway. I read it carefully in the middle of the night before I saw the words through the gap. The book is full of the word' cannibalism'! "

Lu Xun's short story Diary of a Madman consists of 13 diaries, which records a madman's mental state and psychological activities, profoundly exposes the "cannibalism" essence of a centralized and authoritarian society, and shows the fighting spirit of completely opposing the centralized and authoritarian society.

The whole work of Diary of a Madman is almost a confession of a madman's inner world. A madman thinks that everyone around him is eating people, and he will be forced to eat people or be eaten by others. The madman was locked up, refused food sent by his family, refused to receive treatment, and kept persuading people around him not to eat people again. Until the madman finally found out that he might have accidentally eaten his sister's meat. Desperate lunatics send out "children who don't eat people, or are there?" Save the children ... "Shout.

At the beginning of the novel, in the preface of A Madman's Diary, I wrote: "The old gentleman came from a long way, but he recovered early and has gone somewhere to stand by." The madman's illness is cured, suggesting that others are mentally abnormal. In everyone's eyes, a madman is a patient with persecution phobia. In the eyes of a madman, everyone else is a cannibal. Such different angles and positions profoundly reveal the sorrow of a sick society.
