Book excerpt-"Hot Wind" by Lu Xun

My hopes for literary critics are even smaller. I dare not expect them to use their own minds to dissect and judge other people's works before dissecting and judging other people's works to see if there are any shallow, despicable and absurd things in them, because this matter is not easy.

Writers, even if they cannot "convey the truth", should still "express their ideas". Unfortunately, although the princes are professing Chinese studies, their writings are still unsatisfactory, and they cannot control themselves, so how can they "balance" others.

In short, if the scholars attack the new culture and flaunt the old knowledge, it is still a kind of proposition if it is not self-contradictory. It's a pity that I don't have the means to learn from the old school, and my ideas are not worthy. If people who are not familiar with words and sentences can be considered as confidants of the quintessence of China, then the quintessence of China will be even more embarrassed! "Weighing" a meal, just "weighing" out one's own baht, which is not harmful to the new culture, but is far from the essence of the country.

The only thing I admire about you guys is that you have the courage to publish this kind of thing.

This thing is very strange. The rise and fall of a trend is only about one person. If this is true, one person has too much courage, and many people have too little courage.

But what if everything I write is indeed cold? Then it has no life, let alone what the disease syndrome is in China. However, the difference between ruthless cynicism and affectionate sarcasm is not as good as a piece of paper. Regarding the feelings and reactions around me, it is probably the so-called "like a fish knowing whether it is warm or cold when drinking water"; but I felt that the air around me was too cold, and I Since I am speaking my own words, I call it "Hot Wind" instead.

Sitting alone in a room at night, at least ten feet away from other people. Eating the leftover "yellow chocolate sandwich" and reading a few Tolstoy's books, I gradually felt that the hope of mankind was far away around me.

Preserving us is indeed the first priority. Just ask him whether he has the power to preserve us, regardless of whether he is a national quintessence or not.

"Personal arrogance" means uniqueness and a declaration of war against mediocrity.

"Social arrogance" and "patriotic arrogance" are the same party against differences, and a declaration of war against a small number of geniuses; - as for declaring war on the civilization of other countries, it is secondary.

When you are a human being, you want to become an immortal; when you are born on earth, you want to go to heaven; you are obviously a modern person, breathing the air of today, but you insist on using rotten famous religions, dead language, and contempt for the present. They are all "slaughters of the present". Killing the "now" also kills the "future". ——The future is the era of descendants.

As a sounding machine, others must also be sounding machines before they can sound. Chinese people are all somewhat different, so it won't be relevant.

Look at other countries, those who resist this "coming" are the people with doctrinal principles. Because of the doctrine they believed in, they sacrificed everything else, blunted the edge with their flesh and blood, and extinguished the smoke with their blood. In the fading light of swords and fire, a thin sky can be seen, which is the dawn of the new century.

The dawn is above your head. If you don’t raise your head, you will always only see the flash of matter.

Dissatisfaction is an upward wheel that can carry dissatisfied humans forward towards humanity.

There are many races of people who are not complacent, always moving forward and always having hope.

Woe to the race of people who only know how to blame others but not to reflect on themselves!

The path of life is progress, always moving upward along the slope of the infinite spiritual triangle, and nothing can stop it.

There are still many discords that nature has given to people, and there are still many people who have shrunk, fallen, and regressed. However, life will never turn back because of this. No matter what darkness comes to guard against ideological trends, what misery comes to attack society, what crimes come to desecrate humanity, humankind's longing for full potential always steps forward through these iron thorns.

What is a road? It is trampled out from a place where there is no road, it is carved out from a place where there are only thorns.

There was a way before, and there should always be a way in the future.
