The Four Steps to the Sky

In 1979, Qian Zhongshu said in the United States: "Lu Xun's short stories are very good, but he is only suitable for writing "short-breathing" chapters, not "long-breathing" ones. Like Ah Q, it seems too long and should be added. It's better to trim."

Li Ao believes that Lu Xun is overrated in mainland China: "Lu Xun seems to have written "The True Story of Ah Q" and "A Brief History of Chinese Fiction", both of which are very good books. However, the essays written by Lu Xun are actually not good.

First, his essays are influenced by Japanese grammar, and there is also a kind of classical Chinese, which is not mature enough.So his writing is awkward.

Second, there are too many emotional expressions in his essays, and there are not many real materials.If you read my article, if you delete the emotional words, what you read is still the data, which is the evidence.Lu Xun lacked this aspect. "

"To this day, if someone still says how good Lu Xun's articles are, I must say that such a person has not made any progress."

Li Ao also mentioned that when Hu Feng asked him whether Xiao Jun should join the party, Lu Xun replied that he should not join the party.

Wang Shuo: "I want to say that Lu Xun's novels are really good, but not all of them are good. Not all of the writer's works are good. That's nonsense. Moreover, it is not true to say that Lu Xun's novels represent the highest level of Chinese novels. .”

Xia Zhiqing: "Lu Xun was the first person in China to write novels in Western style, and he is also recognized as the greatest modern Chinese writer. In the last six years of his life, he was a cultural idol in the eyes of left-wing newspaper readers.

Since his death, the reputation has become more and more mythologized.Soon after his death, the [-]th volume of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" was published immediately, which became a major event in the modern Chinese literary circle.

Even more striking is the profusion of writing on Lu Xun: memoirs, biographies, treatises on his work and thought, and the innumerable number of articles commemorating his death that have appeared in newspapers and magazines over the past twenty years.

Among modern Chinese writers, no one has ever enjoyed this honor.This distinction is of course...manufactured.Of course, Lu Xun was already a highly regarded writer before the government made him a hero.Without his personal reputation as a basis, the government did not have to bother to create a myth. "

Wang Meng: "It is a great thing to have one Lu Xun in the literary world. What if there are fifty Lu Xuns? My God!"

Lu Xun: "Is there anyone from a well-to-do family who fell into poverty? I thought that on this journey, you can see the true face of the world." Preface to "Scream"

"The True Story of Ah Q" is the only novella written by Lu Xun. It was written in 1921 and was first published in Beijing "Morning News Supplement" in chapters.

"The True Story of Ah Q" Chapter 1 was published in the "Happy Words" column of "Morning News Supplement".

But Lu Xun "really did not aim to be funny or pitiful", and hoped to write "a modern soul of our countrymen". From Chapter 2, it was transferred to the "New Literature and Art" column, and later included in the novel collection "Scream".

Successfully shaped the typical image of Ah Q. "Q" should be pronounced "qui/quei" here, but nowadays most people are accustomed to pronounce it according to the pronunciation of the English letter Q.

Ah Q─The protagonist of the novel, a small person in society, poor and white, but with a lot of self-esteem.Every time I encounter misfortune, I will find some plausible reasons to comfort myself.

Mr. Zhao, the squire, Ah Q's "rice boss", was very harsh on Ah Q.

Ah Q once spoke rudely to Wu Ma, the female worker of Mr. Zhao's family.

Little D - is also a low-level figure, making a living as a servant.Had a fight with Ah Q.Lu Xun thought that he "will be another Ah Q when he grows up".

"But even though it was an insect, the idlers didn't let him go. They gave him five or six smacks somewhere nearby, and then he left contentedly and triumphantly. He thought Ah Q had been plagued this time.

However, in less than ten seconds, Ah Q also walked away triumphantly satisfied. He felt that he was the first person who could despise himself. ".Isn't the champion also "the first"? "What are you?" ? ──"The True Story of Ah Q"

The image of Ah Q has a complex character, but the inner world of the character is not complicated.It uses the method of spiritual victory to achieve emotional balance in times of oppression, and its spirit has no persistent pursuit; on the contrary, its cynicism reflects the loss of faith of the lumpenproletarians.

Lu Xun's "sorrow for his misfortune, anger for his indisputability", the editor once put it in the "Happy Words" column, but it is actually full of pain and sorrow, and those who are interested in reading it do not think it is happy.

In 1937, Chairman Mao talked about "The True Story of Ah Q" with the American writer Smedley in Yan'an, and commented that some people in China have the spirit of Ah Q and think that they are victorious at any time, while others are is a failure.

And in 1955, at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, it was discussed not to be "fake foreign devils" and not to allow others to engage in revolution.

Ren Jiyu believes that there are many articles that study and comment on "The True Story of Ah Q", and some of them are quite well written. They focus more on literature, but there are few articles that grasp the essence of Chinese farmers and dissect them in depth.

Many people don't see this, and laugh at some of Ah Q's shortcomings and faults. In fact, everyone has these faults, which are birthmarks brought about by traditional Chinese culture for a long time.

Qian Liqun believes that until his death, Lu Xun still felt "divided" by "the original meaning of "The True Story of Ah Q".. Not many people can understand it". Thinking is not understood by people.

Lu Xun said with emotion, "I pay attention to various comments about the original intention of "The True Story of Ah Q", and feel that not many people can understand it. After it is put on the screen, it may be a little bit of a gap, and it is quite boring for people to laugh. It is better not to do it."

Lu Xun once said that Ah Q also had a sense of revolution, but researchers have not explored much about it.

Wang Hui pointed out that "Ah Q has to awaken several times. The awakening mentioned here is not the awakening of becoming a revolutionist, but the instinctive closeness to his own situation... Ah Q's revolutionary motivation lies in his instinct and subconsciously."

The novel has been translated into various languages.French writers Romain and Rolland believed that "this satirical and realistic work is worldwide. There was also Ah Q during the French Revolution. I will never forget Ah Q's troubled face."

In addition, it also affects other Chinese writers and their works, such as Mr. Lao She's "Cat City Tale", which describes the indifference of spectators.

...

Evening Note──The boss just came back from exercise and asked me if I played stocks. He said that I have lost a lot recently.

The boss (leader) of the company is my friend, and his power is not as great as mine, because I know more real estate friends in this area than he does.

The reason I haven't worked seriously for a long, long time is because I really don't have any interest, and believe it or not, it's none of my business.

Few people can understand and understand the essence of real estate better than me, especially real estate businessmen and scholars. The reason is that only I am a soldier on the battlefield and a thinker. Others focus on different positions, especially I am good at It overlooks it.

I have seen the boss for 13 years. His work and life consist of traveling and playing cards. He earns 200 to [-] million per year. Although it is not as high as the income of top employees, it is very stable and does not need to do work. At most Just adjust the personnel affairs.

Until this year it finally changed. About two years ago, two super fighters left. These two are equal to the income of the other half of the company. It doesn’t matter, there is the other half.

This year, another forty generals of different sizes left, which led to him finally making no money.Fortunately, he has invested in companies in other industries a while ago, and the future is quite promising.

So, I forgot yesterday and the day before yesterday. That’s what I meant when I said I don’t know what to do. It’s like the book mentions that two groups of Asians went to Africa. They are young children who go to Tzu Chi Volunteer Education School...

The mentality of these two groups of people is not mine, just like a bystander, I just watch and talk nonsense after seeing it.It's time to get off work, let's have a word, practice typing speed, let's go, see you at midnight.Excuse me, flowers.

Speaking from my own heart, maybe many friends I don’t know well think I’m proud and arrogant, but the same is none of my business, it’s enough to know my own strength, it’s enough to know myself and the enemy, the rest is none of my business .

Friends who are familiar with me will know it, because they usually deal with me, and they will know that I am a gentle person who is indifferent to the world, crazy and arrogant.Today I will answer some questions from fellow readers. Some of them are of course not fellow readers, but since we all know each other through online articles, we are collectively referred to as fellow readers.

Xiao Shunshun YY said: "Actually, I prefer a carefree life. I don't have to worry about the world. In my free time, I sit in front of the computer and move my fingers to outline the world I want. It feels good. But the dream is always full, but the reality is very skinny, even Long Da, who is as carefree as you, can’t completely get rid of the world! Hey!”

I replied: "Of course! Because there is no other way. There are bad people and bad people in this world. If you don't get infected, the storms will always hit you the same way. The difference lies in knowing more, seeing more, and being able to laugh and face calmly.. "

In fact, at the starting point, it is easy to judge those who are bad people, evil people and bad grades. People who write bad reviews are all bad people, evil people and bad grades, because they don't understand any common sense and principles of life.Such people are scum in society, country, and the earth, they are saboteurs, and they are not helpful to the human race. The fewer such people, the better. Of course, the fewer garbage people, the better.

Bad guys, bad guys, and bad guys can all be seen. There will always be bad guys in this world, so we must bravely face challenges when we encounter them. (~^~)
