Thoughts on the Novel
"Wandering" runs through the concern for the peasants and intellectuals living under the heavy pressure of feudal forces who "sorrow for their misfortune and are angry for their inability to fight". The artistic techniques of "Wandering" are "sophisticated" - the profound and broad historical picture; the narration of the fate of the characters permeated with emotions; the line drawing method of "drawing eyes" and "soul hooking"; and the plump characters are of typical significance. The two artists Qiu Sha and Wang Weijun spent their entire lives "revealing Lu Xun's ideological system" with their brushes. They persisted in exploration, painstaking conception, and bold creation, and reproduced Lu Xun's world with "accurate understanding, profound expression, and exquisite art."
Everyone has moments of hesitation. Being lonely and helpless, unable to advance or retreat, is called hesitation. Lu Xun was once hesitant, at least when he wrote "Wandering". He writes about a trajectory of life, and this trajectory seems to have ironclad rules. From the starting point, throw a circular arc, and then fall back to the starting point. Even, fell back to the starting point. There is loneliness, sadness, and helplessness here.
When he wrote "Wandering", he was only forty-four or five years old, and he was not yet a wise man. So he hesitated. At that time, he was full of hope, or he was once full of hope, but this hope was eventually dashed. He sees no better way out, and the way out always seems to be in the future, not now. So, he hesitated. So, he wrote a novel about "hesitation".
It is better to say helplessness than hesitation. Born helplessly. At that time, it was fashionable to write novels. Writing novels became a trend at that time. What's more, Mr. Wang has already written famous works such as "Diary of a Madman", "Blessings", "The True Story of Ah Q", and "Kong Yiji". They pioneered the writing of modern Chinese novels.
Understanding "Wandering"
On the title page of the book, there is an inscription by the author: The morning begins in Cangwuxi, and the evening ends in the county garden; if you want to leave this spirit as small as possible, you will leave it in the future. Suddenly it becomes dusk. I ordered Xihe to pay attention to the festival, and look to the mountains without pressing. The road is long and far away, so I will search up and down.
The key to understanding "Wandering" lies in the two sentences in the inscription "Li Sao": "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." The article has a "literary eye", and the poem has "Poetic eye", here, is called "question eye".
The road is far, and there is no road ahead; when the road is vaguely visible, there is no light. He tried to struggle to find a way out, but he was covered in bruises and had no results.
It can only be said that "the lotus halberd is wandering alone".
Therefore, it is also the best name to name it after "Wandering".
Zhang Zonggang's evaluation of "Wang" in his article "The Exploration of the Great Soul - Interpretation of Lu Xun" is that "the appearance is like ice, the liver and intestines are like fire", I think it is a harsh evaluation. He also said: "The one who belongs to you is Yin, and the one who is holding you hostage is far away. This is Lu Xun's profoundness. ... He (referring to Lu Xun) is like a flying giant who has lost his flock, drifting in the vast sky, with no place to turn to; lonely and lonely His inner experience was externalized and sublimated into a huge desire for creation: he used the soul-stirring brush in his hand to paint countless pictures of the old era, which were vivid and tragic, including the exploration of freedom and human nature. Scanning, paying attention to the weak, thinking about the current customs... they are all profound and inspiring, and with their "pain of wisdom", they have reached and entered the epic level, thus surpassing the generation and being unique among the thousands.
