Marry off your sister and hold a wedding for your youngest son, hoping to be there to watch and participate in the wedding banquet.
From: Lu Xun's "Dog·Cat·Rat".
Excerpts from the original article:
Someone who I rarely interact with suddenly sent me a red post with the words "Come out of court for my sister-in-law", "My son's marriage is complete", "Please kindly Sentences with "insidious hints" such as "watching the ceremony" or "visiting with full family" made me feel a little bit embarrassed if I didn't spend my money, and I wasn't very happy either.
Under the dim light of the soybean oil lamp in the centuries-old house, there is a world of mice jumping across the beams, walking erratically and squeaking, with an attitude that is often more dignified than that of "famous professors" . Cats are kept, but they don't care about eating.
Creative background:
"Dog·Cat·Rat" is a prose written by the modern writer Lu Xun in 1926. This essay first fights back against the "modern criticism school"'s slander against the author as a "cat hater" and exposes their despicable methods. Then the author explains the proximate cause of his "cat hatred" and depicts the main characteristics of "cats".
Then he explains the reasons for "hatred of cats" through the recollection of his childhood. Finally, he criticizes the "gold mean" and points out that its essence is to indulge evil and cultivate evil. On the surface, the author hates cats, but in fact he criticizes them. A group of people with similar habits to cats, such as some "gentlemen" and accomplices of warlords and rulers in society at that time.
The author expressed his sympathy for the weak and his hatred for the perpetrators by recalling the past when a cute hidden mouse he rescued in his childhood was eventually killed. This article uses irony and concise writing, uses animals as metaphors for people, uses arguments as clues, and combines narratives and arguments with profound implications.
