People are always lonely, and intellectuals at the turn of the old and new society are even more lonely. The Lonely Man in Lu Xun's Wandering wrote such an intellectual, Wei (shū? ): His inner ideals and pursuits are unattainable in the secular world, and also misunderstood and misinterpreted by others. After losing the comfort of relatives and friends one after another, he tried to retaliate against the whole society in a self-destructive way, but ended in vain and pain.

So, what is Wei's loneliness? Is his loneliness "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone" or "self-restraint"?

At the beginning of The Lonely, Lu Xun wrote that I met William because I sent him to die, and also wrote his ending: "Send him to die." Such an opening not only expresses "I"' s nostalgia and lament for Wei, but also attracts readers' attention by predicting the ending, and also reveals a sense of coincidental fatalism.

In others' eyes, Wei is a bit odd, because he is the only person in the village who goes out to study and has some trendy views and opinions. He will also do something that does not conform to the traditional cognition of the villagers. This is the villagers' incomprehension and narrow speculation about him, and he will also break his insistence. He is eager for new knowledge and a new era, but he can't cut off traditional morality, so he is full of contradictions.

For example, when Wei's grandmother died, all relatives and villagers came. When preparing for the traditional funeral ceremony, how are they going to persuade Wei to stop him from handling the funeral with any new tricks? Everyone is ready and seems nervous. However, when Wei came back, he simply agreed, but others found it even more strange.

For another example, Wei cared about children at first, and felt that children were naive and kind, because the environment and adults didn't teach them well. Later, he gradually became disappointed, and children became more and more snobbish like those adults. Just then, Wei's cousin wanted to adopt his child, but Wei knew what it was for, because his shabby house was still on the mountain.

Lu Xun described the faces of these ignorant and selfish people in just a few words:

After being alone, Wei was expelled from school for writing some articles, and his neighbors and friends had less contact. Seeing that Wei was even more lonely, he said that he had predicted people's alienation and his own ending.

"I" exposed him at once, because he always thinks too badly of people and the world, so he confined himself in a cocoon made by himself, suffering from loneliness, doubting everything and lamenting everything.

However, in order to survive, Wei still degraded himself, put down his dignity and asked someone to find a job, just to live a few more days, because someone wanted him to live. However, those who expected William's death all left. In this vast world, your death was lonely, and then he chose revenge-your death became Mr. Du's consultant.

Wei Julian betrayed his former self, gave up all his previous beliefs, lost his self-esteem and persistence, and turned to do things he despised before, becoming a person he didn't like and criticized before. He knows that he is really a loser now.

With the improvement of the situation in Wei, the children, adults, friends and neighbors of those forces came back. By his side, Lu Xun wrote about their changes before and after. These details are disgusting and sad.

First, when I came to see Wei, the landlord looked down on him and even gave me a bad look, but told me impatiently that he was out. After Shu's "abandoning the dark for the bright", "I" will call "I" you "and Shu" Wei Daren ".

Secondly, it was Wei Aidi's children who offered to buy them harmonicas, one for each. When he was poor, he was so hated by the children that he was afraid to meet them. It was not until Wei became a consultant that the children gathered in front of him again, willing to bark or kowtow in exchange for Wei buying things for them.

Third, the landlord is the most snobbish because of the change of Wei Lianshui's status. Wei used to be polite and called the landlord an old lady, but she confirmed that this was pedantic and later called her an "old guy", but she thought it was very interesting. And those who had alienated him also came to visit in time, and everyone was very flattering.

Wei even knew that the victory brought by his sacrifice was actually fragile and insignificant, so his mouth smiled coldly after his death. He put on a good military uniform and trousers, but they never fit him. Lu Xun used this detail to show Wei's inner ambition and true thoughts.

As an intellectual, Wei can't resist his personal desire and realize his ideal ambition in today's social environment where the old and the new alternate. In this predicament, he felt more and more lonely, and his unsustainable connection with others led him to die step by step, both physically and mentally. Even, spiritual self-abandonment and distorted revenge have hit him harder and harder. Therefore, in Loneliness, Lu Xun borrowed a letter from Wei, indicating that Wei's unwillingness and pain are in his heart and between the lines.

Compared with Wei Lianyi, I am more open-minded and far-sighted. It was originally because the two sides sang * * * that they came together to meet and chat, but with the change of time, they experienced different things, just like "I" once advised Wei Lianyi not to tie himself up because

Everyone is an independent individual and lonely, but how to look at the world and get along with others depends on ourselves. Even if the reality is not satisfactory, we should adjust ourselves in time and fall into the inner haze, which is to give up completely.
