Life and Creation
Lu Xun was born in 1881 in a bureaucratic landlord family in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. However, when he was 13 years old, his grandfather, who was an official in the capital, was Therefore, he was imprisoned. After that, his father became ill for a long time and eventually died, and the family situation quickly declined. Family changes had a profound impact on the young Lu Xun. He is the eldest son of the family. He has a lonely mother and younger siblings. He has to bear the burden of life together with his mother. The innocent and lively childhood life was over, and he prematurely experienced the hardships of life and the warmth and coldness of the world. He often went to the drug store to pick up the medicine prescribed by the doctor for his father, and took the things to the pawn shop to sell them. In the past, when his family was well off, people around him looked at him as a little "gongzi" with envy. His words were kind and his eyes were tender. But now that his family has become poor, the attitudes of the people around him have changed: his words are cold, his eyes are cold, and there is a look of disdain on his face. This change in the attitude of the people around him left a deep impression on Lu Xun's mind and had a huge impact on his soul. It made him feel that in China at that time, there was a lack of sincere sympathy and love between people. . People look at people and things with a "snobbish eye": they have one attitude towards rich and powerful people, and another attitude towards people without money and power. Many years later, Lu Xun said very sadly: "Is there anyone who has fallen into poverty from a well-off family? I thought that along the way, I could probably see the true face of the world." ("Preface to "[Scream]") p>
The changes in his family and his life experience after the accident also made Lu Xun close to the lower class people since he was a boy. His maternal grandmother's family lived in a rural area, which gave him the opportunity to contact and understand the life of farmers. Especially around the time his grandfather was imprisoned, he had to take refuge with relatives in the countryside and lived in the countryside for a long time. There, he became friends with the children in the countryside, playing with them, boating with them, watching plays together, and sometimes going to their fields to "steal" beans and cook them. There is no mutual discrimination or hatred between them, but mutual care and friendship. Throughout his life, Lu Xun remembered and described his simple, natural, sincere and innocent relationship with rural children as the most beautiful relationship between people.
At that time, ordinary scholars took three paths: one was to study and become an official. If you pass the imperial examination, you can be promoted, you can make a fortune, your personal worth will be a hundred times greater, and your family will become the envy of the world. This is considered the "right path" for scholars. Those who are not able to become officials can still serve as a "staff member" of a certain bureaucrat, making suggestions, working hard for this bureaucrat, and accepting gifts from this bureaucrat. Through the power of this bureaucracy, I also gained power. This was the second path often taken by scholars at that time. If the first two paths fail, you can still go into business. Although this is despised by the bureaucrats at the time, you can make a fortune and avoid being humiliated and harmed at the bottom of society. Lu Xun took another path that was most looked down upon by people at the time: entering a "foreign school". In China at that time, this was regarded by ordinary people as a despicable act of "selling one's soul to foreign devils". In 1898, 18-year-old Lu Xun left his hometown and entered the Nanjing Naval Academy with the purpose of going to a "different place" to find "different people" with the 8 silver dollars that his loving mother had managed to raise in various ways. Later he changed to Nanjing Road and Mine School. Both schools were established by the Westernizationists at that time in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army. They offered courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other natural science knowledge, which had never been seen in traditional Chinese education. In his spare time, Lu Xun also read works on foreign literature and social sciences, which greatly broadened his cultural horizons. In particular, Yan Fu's translation of "On the Evolution of Heaven" by Huxley, an Englishman, had a profound influence on Lu Xun. "Tianyan Lun" is a work that introduces Darwin's theory of evolution, which made Lu Xun realize that the real world is not harmonious and perfect, but full of fierce competition. If a person or a nation wants to survive and develop, it must have the spirit of self-reliance, independence, and self-improvement. We cannot be at the mercy of fate or bullied by the strong.
Lu Xun’s life and creations Lu Xun was a person with a strong thirst for knowledge. During his studies at Nanjing Road and Mine School, his academic performance was always excellent, which gave him the opportunity to study abroad at government expense after graduation. . In 1902, he traveled east to Japan and began tutoring Japanese at Tokyo Kobun Gakuin, and later entered Sendai Medical College. He chose to study medicine in order to treat patients like his father who had been harmed by quackery, and to improve the health of the Chinese people who were ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia." It was through Western medicine that Japan realized the value and significance of Western science and technology. Lu Xun also wanted to enlighten the Chinese people through medicine.
But his dream did not last long before it was shattered by the harsh reality. At that time, Japan was rapidly becoming stronger through the Meiji Restoration, but the power of Japanese militarism was also developing at the same time. In Japan, as a citizen of a weak country, Lu Xun was often discriminated against by the Japanese with militaristic tendencies. In their eyes, all Chinese people are "imbecile". Lu Xun's anatomy score was 59 points, and they suspected that Fujino Genkuro, the teacher in charge of the anatomy class, had leaked the test questions to him. This made Lu Xun deeply feel the sorrow of being a citizen of a weak country. Once, in a slideshow shown before class, Lu Xun saw a Chinese man being captured and beheaded by the Japanese army, while a group of Chinese people stood aside and watched the fun as if nothing had happened. Lu Xun was greatly stimulated. This made him realize that mental numbness is more terrible than physical weakness. To change the tragic fate of the Chinese nation in a modern world with many powerful countries, the first thing is to change the spirit of the Chinese people, and the first thing that is good at changing the spirit of the Chinese people is literature and art. So Lu Xun abandoned medicine to pursue literature, left Sendai Medical College, returned to Tokyo, translated foreign literary works, organized literary magazines, published articles, and engaged in literary activities. At that time, what he discussed most with his friends was the issue of Chinese national character: What is ideal human nature? What is lacking most in Chinese national character? What is its root cause? Through this kind of thinking, Lu Xun put his personal life into perspective. The experience was linked to the fate of the entire Chinese nation, which laid the basic ideological foundation for his later career as a writer and thinker. At that time, he and his second brother Zhou Zuoren jointly translated two volumes of "Collection of Foreign Novels", and he personally published a series of works such as "Scientific History and Education", "Cultural Partialism", and "The Power of Moro Poetry". Important Papers. In these papers, he put forward the important idea that "building a country" must first "build people", and enthusiastically called for "spiritual warriors" whose "intentions are in resistance and their return is in actions."
While studying in Japan, Lu Xun gained a clearer understanding of the development of contemporary world culture, had more practical thinking about the future and destiny of the Chinese nation, and initially formed his independent world view and Outlook on life, however, Lu Xun was not a hero who "raised his arms and responded," his thoughts and feelings were not only incomprehensible to most Chinese at the time, but also found it difficult to gain widespread response among students studying in Japan. The foreign novels he translated could only sell a few dozen copies, and the literary magazine he organized was not published due to lack of funds. The financial difficulties forced Lu Xun to return to China to seek employment. In 1909, he returned from Japan and worked as a teacher in Hangzhou Zhejiang Normal School (now Hangzhou Senior High School) and Shaoxing Prefecture Middle School. This period was a period of extremely depressed thought for Lu Xun. The Revolution of 1911 in 1911 also made him feel temporarily inspired, but then came the continuous stage of historical travesties such as Yuan Shikai's proclaiming himself emperor and Zhang Xun's restoration. The Revolution of 1911 did not change the reality of China's stagnation and the fact that it was bullied by Western imperialism. historical destiny. The chaos of society, the disaster of the nation, and the misfortune of his personal marital life all made Lu Xun feel depressed and depressed. At this time, life is like a cup of bitter wine, which is drunk in the stomach and bitter in the heart. You want to spit it out, but you cannot bear it. But precisely because of this, when the May 4th New Culture Movement occurred, his long-repressed thoughts and feelings violently erupted like lava through literary works. At that time, he was already working in the Ministry of Education and moved to Beijing with the Ministry of Education.
