1, verbose and confusing. Lin writes long articles, embellishes them with humor, but they are still vague and abstract, which is a headache. Don't watch people who don't like gossiping complain.
2. Talk about the virtues of China people, such as smoothness, tolerance, gentleness and equality. , are superficial, only list the phenomenon, and then make a superficial analysis of human selfishness. The environment has changed, people don't seem to be like this anymore, and today we really feel worse. In fact, for the general struggle of the people in China at that time, Lin was invisible. How much blood was shaking in front of his eyes was only in exchange for his views of moderation and peace. In his eyes, a literary warrior like Lu Xun only had the party's views and was not mentally ill.
3.Lam himself said that it is dishonest to go out to give a speech. He hates the Confucian virtues of China people, but in the face of arrogant foreigners, he can't help talking about the benefits of harmony but difference, and his own standards of right and wrong are inevitably reversed. You're welcome to say that he has a little Western mentality: he tries his best to tell foreigners about the benefits of ancestral theories, some of which are still criticized today (Lu Xun: ancestors created them, gorgeous as peach blossoms and beautiful as cheese when they fester), and he also shows off the civilization he learned from foreigners to his compatriots. This is worth noting, although Sai Jinhua, who wrote the preface, tried her best to emphasize to foreigners that she was seeking truth from facts.
