From the perspective of criticizing feudal educational thought and ethics, Kite is a story about me and an emotional experience it brought me. The "I" in the work has never liked flying kites, and my younger brother is not allowed to fly kites. Once, I rudely destroyed the kite that my little brother worked so hard to make. This little thing that I didn't care about at that time suddenly appeared in my memory after twenty years, which made me so worried and eager to remedy it, but it didn't help. It just adds a heavy burden to my heart, and every time I recall it, I have an "uncertain sadness".
"Play is children's nature", a western concept of children's education, once accepted by the author, has caused great shock to the author. The younger brother's behavior can't be realized just because it violates the "creed" of adults, and even he has to pay a price for it, which makes people feel sadly that it contains a strong tragic meaning. Although it is only a destroyed kite, it is a childish heart, full of yearning for the game that was hurt at the same time. The author calls it "spiritual cruelty", which is very profound. How did this "cruel spirit" scene come about? In fact, it is influenced and poisoned by traditional old ideas and concepts. Flying a kite is "a child's most proper behavior", but "I" regards it as "a worthless child's toy" and restricts my little brother, destroying the kite that my little brother has worked so hard to make. "I immediately reached out and broke the wing bone of a butterfly, throwing the wind wheel to the ground and stepping on it." So ruthlessly trampled, "I" did it without scruple. The little brother was treated so unreasonably that he could only bear it. Because "I" in "The Theory of Longevity" is my brother, I feel that I have unlimited power. From the attitude of "I" towards kites and the rude behavior of destroying kites, we can clearly see some distinctive marks of "I" in spirit and psychology-feudal educational thoughts that stifle children's nature and feudal ethical thoughts that respect the old and love the young. This debate about kites is actually a profound accusation against the spirit of feudal ethics.
From the perspective of self-analysis, Mr. Lu Xun once said: "I do dissect others from time to time, but more often I dissect myself more mercilessly." He added, "I know myself. I dissect myself more mercilessly than others. " After a lapse of 20 years, when describing this childhood experience, the author felt very heavy, just like a mountain in his heart. He felt that he had done something sorry for his little brother at that time, so he expressed it with guilt, and "my heart seemed to turn lead and fell heavily." His spirit of self-analysis has been deeply reflected in this article. This profound self-criticism is inspiring and thought-provoking. Between the lines of the article, it is easier for us to understand the noble quality of a revolutionary who dares to face up to his shortcomings. As Lu Xun himself said: "However, revolutionaries are never afraid to criticize themselves. He knows very well that they dare to say it. " Lu Xun's profound spirit of self-criticism also inspires people to wash their souls bravely and move towards the road of reform. In order to arouse people's profound review of their own feudal thoughts and behaviors, in order to achieve the goal of thoroughly opposing feudalism, and thus to be a thorough revolutionary.
Understand from the perspective of pursuing beauty. Lu Xun published an article "My Brother" in September of 19 19, which was entirely about the story in Kite. "Kite" also wrote these, and also showed this feeling, this idea. However, Kite is a brand-new work after all, and it expresses much more than that. Kite was first written in Beijing's lonely spring and gloomy spring. Then, it is the memory of my hometown "Spring February", which is a song "Gentleness of Spring". Kite is a symbol of hometown spring and beautiful youth, which guides readers into the "long-lost spring". The artistic charm of kites is irresistible. It can bring any reader, regardless of age, into the childlike innocence of childhood, make you feel sad and hopeful with your little brother in your works, make you feel ashamed and sad with that brother, and make your heart fall like that.
Kite shows the author's longing for spring and youth, and his fascination and exploration of beautiful things. It needs a healthy and happy life and beautiful scenery in spring; It is extremely regrettable to inadvertently damage a healthy and happy life. However, if there is no spring day, how can we explore a new life? Now, the kite incident has passed, and my little brother's mental trauma has long been calmed down; And spring and youth are elusive-"long gone", which is really an "uncertain sadness".
In a word, we can never understand the theme of Kite from a single aspect. Its connotation is rich, the brand of the times is distinct, and the criticism of feudal education and ethics is also clear-cut The various themes revealed in the article still have profound practical significance even today. In this sense, kites are immortal!
