This is a bolt from the blue. At the banquet in Nantai, I suddenly heard the news of Lu Xun's death!
I sent some telegrams, packed my bags overnight, and jumped on the ship bound for Shanghai the next day.
On the morning of 22nd 10, I went home, took a bath, swallowed two meals and went to the International Funeral Home in Jiaozhou Road. What I see are sincere faces, enthusiastic faces, angry faces, and the hearts and lungs and clenched fists of young men and women who are about to be shattered in Qian Qian.
This is an unusual funeral, this is not melancholy sadness. This is like a moment of silence between heaven and earth when a big earthquake is coming, or when dawn comes.
A famous nation without great people is the most pitiful group of creatures in the world; A country whose great people don't know how to support, love and admire is a hopeless slave country. Because of Lu Xun's death, people consciously made a national commitment; Because of the death of Lu Xun, people can see that China is still a semi-desperate country with strong slavery.
Lu Xun's coffin was buried in the shallow soil under the night sun; However, a reddish crescent moon appeared in the west corner.
