Needless to say, Lu Xun was born today. Whether he can write or survive is a problem. After listening to the introduction of the revolutionary situation, he said to Feng, "When you come, I will run away because I am afraid that I will be the first to kill." Feng Xuefeng quickly shook his head and waved: "Fu Na will, Fu Na will!" 1957, in Shanghai, Luo Jinan asked Mao Zedong: What would happen to Lu Xun if he were alive today? Mao pondered for a while and replied, "In my opinion, (Lu Xun) is either still writing in prison or ignorant." Luo Jinan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and dared not speak.

In the final analysis, Lu Xun has nothing to do with Lu Xun's literature prize. The latter only borrows the name of the former, but its essence has nothing to do with the former, and even constitutes a betrayal and insult to the former. Lu Xun didn't win the prize, just as it was difficult for Confucius to join Confucianism in the imperial dynasty, and Machiavelli was not machiavellianism. This is the most profound portrayal of the absurdity and sorrow of the human world.
If you recognize the true face of Lu Xun's literature prize, you may agree with my conclusion. If Liu Zhongyang wins Lu Xun's literature prize with Chu Song, Guo Sao and Lingnan Song, it is a match made in heaven, which is gratifying.
