Fake foreign devils are the image of bourgeois speculators from landlord class families. He is grandpa Qian's son. Wei Zhuang is one of two "literate children". He didn't take the road of official career in the imperial examination like Zhao Xiucai, but "went to the city to enter a foreign school, but somehow went to the East again." After half a year, he came home, his legs were straight and his braids were gone. " He swaggered and pretended to be a gentleman: he cut his braid, wore a suit and leaned on a civilized stick. His editing and distribution is the result of his influence on the progressive culture of bourgeois democratic thought in capitalist countries. But as soon as he returned to China, where braids were orthodox, he had to miss his future as a "big official" because he didn't braid, so he tied a fake braid again. No wonder even Ah Q looks down on such people. The fake foreign devil's braiding may partly reflect the contradiction between his feudal thought and democratic thought, but more importantly, it shows his speculative psychology. During his six months in Japan, he was undoubtedly educated and influenced by some bourgeois democratic thoughts, which mixed other things with his feudal thoughts and became a freak of feudalism and capitalism. When the revolution broke out, he and Zhao Xiucai got rid of the dragon brand in the retreat and stole the Xuande furnace. If Zhao Xiucai's "revolution" is full of speculation by feudal forces, then the "revolution" of fake foreign devils is a deformed revolution with new elements and more speculative elements. As soon as the revolution came, why did Zhao Xiucai and the fake foreign devils "become like-minded comrades and meet to go to the revolution"? It is because in the face of the revolution, some of their interests are the same, so there has been a compromise. This reflects the historical truth of the compromise between the bourgeoisie and feudal forces at that time from one side.
The revolution reached the county seat and spread to Wei Zhuang, and the fake foreign devil became the first revolutionary in Wei Zhuang. The description of "a black coat with silver peaches" is very ironic. His braid was just "taken apart" without being cut off, leaving room. Although he is not a revolutionary, his words are eloquent and seem to prove his foresight; Being in the city, not in Zhuang, I thought of red songs in Hubei, boasting and fabricating revolutionary capital. He can only cheat the villagers in Feizhuang, but he can't escape Lu Xun's sword and pencil. He could buy Zhao Xiucai a "silver peach" to win him over to join the revolutionary party, but he used a "funeral stick" to drive away Ah Q, who demanded revolution. In the Revolution of 1911, the bourgeoisie compromised with feudal forces and excluded farmers. The author doesn't have much description of fake foreign devils, but he doesn't have any leisure time to write about them, and he has created the image of a revolutionary with bourgeois democratic thoughts and landlord feudal thoughts.
