Creative background and appreciation:
1925 The May 30th Movement marked the climax of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle under the leadership of * * *. The "Women's Normal University" student movement supported by Lu Xun is an integral part of the national anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle. Around the student movement of "Women's Normal University", Lu Xun waged an uncompromising struggle with imperialism, Beiyang warlords and their "modern critics".
Many essays written by Lu Xun reveal their essence and make them show their true colors. The "modern critics" made progress by retreating, and published a series of offensive works. February 2 1926 Author Lu Xun wrote this article to fight back.
In this paper, people are metaphorically linked. From the beginning of "I seem to hear someone say that I hate cats", the ugly intentions of the gentlemen of modern critics trying to smear the author Lu Xun as a dog are exposed;
By investigating the reasons why dogs and cats become enemies, we not only give a blow to those scholars who have the motivation to praise and criticize their works, but also skillfully equate the gentleman of modern critics with the dog without vision with the relevant explanations in fairy tales.
Then I used "I hate cats, which is very different from this" to naturally write out the reasons why cats and myself hate cats. In this context, the natural paragraph "in fact, the distinction between people and birds is not necessary to be so strict" is redundant.
In fact, it is aimed at modern critics, especially the words "worms and maggots may be unclean, but they are not arrogant: birds and animals prey on weak animals, which may be said to be cruel, but the banner of' justice and justice' has never been erected ...", which makes imperialism, feudal warlords and their minions worse than animals.
When it comes to the reason why I hate cats, it is not only sufficient, but also aboveboard. These two characteristics of cats are similar to those of imperialists and feudal warlords. From the cooperation of cats to the cooperation of people, I especially cited the wedding of Jiang family in Haichang, Beijing last year, not for leisure, not for warts, but for anti-feudal needs.
After writing about Chiang Kai-shek's wedding, I said, "I'm not angry at all, because I don't need to attend." Then I told the reason why I hate cats, closely following the main idea of the article.
