"Someone" is a lyric poem written by the contemporary poet Zang Kejia to commemorate the thirteenth anniversary of Lu Xun's death. Through the contrast between the two kinds of people, the poem pours infinite affection and high respect for those who "bow down and are willing to be cowards"; while for those who stand high above the people, it ruthlessly exposes and shows full of resentment. The uniqueness of poetry is that it expresses a philosophical theme: people live for the betterment of the majority of people. In order to strengthen and highlight the significance of the theme and enrich the content of this short poem, contrasting expression methods are used throughout the poem. The title is not written in memory of Mr. Lu Xun but called "Some People". [1]

Original text of the work
"Some People" - Thoughts in Commemoration of Lu Xun
Some people are alive,
He is already dead;
Some people are dead,
He is still alive.
Some people
ride on the heads of the people: "Oh, how great I am!"
Some people
look down The body is used as an ox and a horse for the people.
Some people
engrave their names into stones, hoping to be "immortal";
Some people
would rather be weeds and wait. Burning underground.
Some people
He lives so that others cannot live;
Some people
He lives to make a better life for the majority of people. .
The one who rides on the heads of the people
The people will knock him down;
The one who serves the people as an ox and horse
The people will always remember him !
The name is carved into the stone
The name rots earlier than the corpse;
As long as the spring breeze blows, it is everywhere.
Green weeds.
/p>
The crowd lifted him up very high, very high.
