Lu Xun, the author of Flowers in the Morning, vividly described a group of his life experiences from rural areas to towns, from family to society, and from home to abroad by using the method of narration and discussion, expressing his nostalgia for his relatives, friends and teachers in the past, and at the same time mocking and attacking the old forces and culture.
theme
Ten essays, Flowers in the Morning and Flowers in the Evening, outline a variety of social lifestyles from the late Qing Dynasty to the Revolution of 1911, namely, the world picture and genre painting. Although it is a retrospective essay, it is realistic and thoughtful, which contains the author's deep thinking about history and persistent attitude towards reality.
In the deep memory of the past, the author can't forget the reality, and often inserts some "essays" (that is, comments on reality), which shows the true and rich inner world of the author Lu Xun.
For example, the article "Dogs, Cats and Rats" not only has the author's deep memories of a cute little hidden mouse he had in his childhood, but also vividly tells the folk stories told by his grandmother, and also reveals the true faces of gentlemen who look like cats in reality.
