The text Some People was written to commemorate the anniversary of Lu Xun's death.

Some People is a lyric poem written by Cang Kejia, a contemporary poet, to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Lu Xun's death, so its subtitle is "Thoughts in Memory of Lu Xun".

Through the contrast between the two kinds of people, poetry has poured infinite affection on those who bow their heads and are willing to be a willing ox, expressing high respect; For those who are above the people, they are ruthlessly exposed and show full of resentment.

On November 1st, 1949, the author wrote the short poem "Some People", expressing his infinite feelings in memory of Mr. Lu Xun and his profound thoughts on the meaning of life. This poem warmly praises the great spirit of Lu Xun's willingness to "bend down and be an ox and a horse for the people" and "be willing to be a weed and wait for the underground fire", effectively lashes out at those who "ride on the people's heads" and "others can't live if he lives", and profoundly reveals the truth that those who serve the people will live forever among the people, and those who are enemies of the people will perish.

Some People

Cang Kejia

-In memory of Lu Xun, I feel

Some people are alive

He is dead;

Some people are dead

He is still alive.

Some people

ride on people's heads: "Oh, how great I am!"

Some people

bend down to be cattle and horses for the people.

Some people

carve their names into stones to be "immortal";

Some people

prefer to be weeds and wait for the underground fire.

some people

others can't live while he is alive;

Some people

He lives to live better for most people.

The people riding on the people

broke him down;

The people who work for the people will always remember him!

A name carved into a stone

decays earlier than a corpse;

as long as the spring breeze blows

there are green weeds everywhere.

If he lives, others can't live.

You can see his fate.

He lives for the sake of most people.

People hold him high, high.

—— November 1, 1949 in Cang Kejia.
