First, an overview of the main contents of "Father's Disease"
This story happened in Shaoxing when Lu Xun was young. His father suffered from severe edema and could not recover for a long time. So, his family found two doctors with the title of "imperial doctor" and hired them to see his father at a high consulting fee.
The two doctors prescribed many prescriptions and used all kinds of strange medicines, but my father's illness still didn't get better. In the end, my father died of illness. But the imperial doctor still sits in a sedan chair every day, leads a very rich life and is very strong. How can he not make people angry?
Second, the analysis of father's disease
"Father's Disease" recalls the scene of delaying treatment for his father as a child, describes the attitudes, styles and prescriptions of several "famous doctors", and reveals their ignorance of witchcraft and medicine, mystifying, extortion and disregard for the essence of human life.
Describing Lu Xun's childhood in his hometown shows the human feelings and social features at that time, which is a valuable chapter in understanding young Lu Xun.
The density of life experience and the scattered atmosphere of the times have created the thoughts of different people in different times. Too many images of "fighters" make people feel Lu Xun's "coldness" too much, just like his most common photo.
