Why do we still read "140 year old" Lu Xun today
2021-10-19
On October 19, 2021, the 85th anniversary of Lu Xun's death, and this year is also the 140th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth. Anyone who has books at home almost certainly has several volumes of Lu Xun's works. As early as 1938, there was the first version of the complete works of Lu Xun, and a "complete works of Lu Xun Publishing House" was specially established for this set of books; After the founding of new China, the people's Literature Publishing House published only the complete works of Lu Xun in 1958, 1981 and 2005. There are other publishing houses and other booklets, especially on such a big day as the 140th anniversary of his birth. In addition to the public edition of Lu Xun's works, other people's works written by Lu Xun have also been published one after another, "Lu Xun: big sir, small day", "life that can't face directly: biography of Lu Xun", "such Lu Xun" In September, the Congress commemorating the 140th anniversary of Mr. Lu Xun's birth was held in the Great Hall of the people in Beijing. The launching ceremony of the new book "complete works of Lu Xun's manuscripts" was held in the National Library... In addition to these national commemorative activities, Lu Xun actually lived in the sight of young people in another way. "He is biting the melon", "there is also a jujube tree" has become the print on the T-shirt, "you are a good man", "has always been so, right?" "it is indeed what I said" has become the slogan on the bookmark... When many writers and works of the same era have become classics - the kind put on the shelf, Lu Xun is still at the forefront of fashion. The birth of a "stem" must first have a broad cognitive basis and recognition, which also shows that Lu Xun's text is read by generations of young people. Lu Xun is "140 years old". Why do we still read him? There are two sources for this generation of young people to have close contact with Lu Xun: one is the Chinese textbook, "from BaiCaoYuan to Sanwei bookstore", "Kong Yiji" and "Madman's diary"... That is a Lu Xun constructed by the textbook; One is the network piece. Many words can be said by Mr. Lu Xun. Runtu and Yu have also become a kind of CP, which is a Lu Xun deconstructed by subculture. However, when film and television works such as the awakening age came into being, a different relationship between us and Lu Xun in recent years was revealed. He said that "there is a heat and a light" has both ideal and reality. The two jujube trees also surpass the value of "stem" and stand as an eternity - young people have the possibility to reconstruct Lu Xun. We also like reading Lu Xun, perhaps because he has an timeless spirit of seeking. Do not know whether the road ahead is bright or not, do not know whether efforts have results, but as long as we identify a road, we can go on. Whether in the era of saving the country and the people, or at present, such enthusiasm will never lack followers. And it is very important that this enthusiasm is not a juvenile impulse, but a tenacity that "it's like this" but still wants to fight again, or simply face life. As we all know, Lu Xun's words are not pleasant to hear. He never hits the nail on the head and doesn't follow the warmth model; Coincidentally, this generation of young people don't believe in chicken soup. After social training, I prefer to understand it as a bottom line consciousness. If I lie flat, no one can hit me and stand up. Seeing the truth of life does not prevent me from still loving life. On this point, Lu Xun coincided with us. Lu Xun's and Xu Guangping's "two places book" talks about the war of resistance against Japan, which is "a desperate war of resistance against Japan"; But he added that "despair" was only the first step, and there should be a second step - "the war of resistance". Lu Xun said more than once that he did not expect "quick victory" or even "inevitable victory", but for a real warrior, he dared to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. Lu Xun's articles that fought hand in hand with the darkness set a model for us today. Moreover, Lu Xun's characters did not go far. "New stories" is the most typical example. The protagonists in it are Nu Wa, Chang'e and Da Yu... In short, they are too old to be old again; Even the "new edition" was eight or nine decades ago. But these people and things, to change their names, are the present records of scenes and scenes. Deng Xiaomang said in the lonely Lu Xun: "Many years ago, I heard a friend say that although China's written history has thousands of years, it is actually just a Jiazi, a cycle of 60 years. At that time, I laughed and thought it was very witty, but not necessarily exaggerated. Unexpectedly, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Mr. Lu Xun's death, I was surprised to read the articles written by Mr. Lu Xun that year, as written yesterday!" It was 1996, and 25 years later, that's still true. Time seems to have no effect on Lu Xun, but for most people, time is very important. For example, no matter books, film and television, art... Now all walks of life want to seize and even please young people. After all, young people's preferences determine the basic situation of the future audience of the industry. But for young people, Lu Xun is not pleasing. Later, he even had a confusion: the new youth must be better than the old Are people more progressive? Lu Xun said in a reply to Mr. Youheng: "up to now, I have always been optimistic that it is probably the elderly who oppress and kill young people. This kind of old people gradually die, and China is always more vibrant. Now I know otherwise. It seems that it is probably the youth who kill young people, and I have no regrets for other lives and youth that can not be regenerated." He wrote so deeply, but Lu Xun did not give up on young people. He was keen to help young people such as Xiao Hong, Xiao Jun and Roushi. He still loved young people and idealism; what he did was to "shoulder the gate of darkness and let them go to a bright and broad place" Therefore, the important thing is not to worship the youth, including the youth themselves, nor to be complacent about this age advantage, but to think about the meaning of the identity of the youth. Writer Yu Hua once delivered a speech. Most of the previous pages talked about how he hated Lu Xun. Even when he became a writer and was called the successor of Lu Xun's spirit, he felt that he was belittling his writing. One of the reasons is that when Lu Xun was a child, he was not only a writer's name, but also a word representing eternal correctness and revolution. In primary school, Yu Hua and his classmates argued about when the sun was closest to the earth. They couldn't argue until Yu Hua moved out of Lu Xun: "Mr. Lu Xun said that the sun is closest to the earth at noon!" the other party lowered his head sadly: "Mr. Lu Xun said so, you must be right, I'm wrong." Later, the times changed again. When Lu Xun returned from a word to a writer, Yu Hua rediscovered him. Lu Xun wrote a lunatic "madman" with only one sentence: "otherwise, why does the Zhao family's dog look at me?" Only when a person returns to the scope that can be discussed and is willing to discuss, will his greatness flash in his mortal body. Today's Lu Xun is a mortal. For example, we know that he not only knows literature, but also knows how to dress and wear. He is a fashion KOL. In the impression of his dead friend Lu Xun, Xu shoushang said that "when he taught in Hangzhou... He bought a new coat, which is very similar to today's Zhongshan suit. It was made by his own unique tailor." For example, he not only understands life, but also provides a love guide - the nicknames of "little hedgehog" and "little white elephant" between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, which make today's young people sigh. Lu Xun who is not afraid of time and conquers time, who is not pleasing to young people and catches young people, but Lu Xun with such mortal interest, teach me how not to read him? (outlook new era)
