A Brief Introduction to Diary of a Madman
Diary of a Madman was written in April 19 18. It is the first vernacular novel written by Lu Xun, and the first excellent work of modern new literature in China. The theme of Diary of a Madman, according to Lu Xun, is "intended to expose the drawbacks of family system and ethics". What are the disadvantages? It is "cannibalism". Based on his long-term and profound observation of semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China, Lu Xun issued a deafening cry: feudalism eats people! Lu Xun once said that Diary of a Madman "shows the achievements of the literary revolution", and it "excited the hearts of some young readers with its profound expression and special format". Indeed, Diary of a Madman is a milestone in the history of modern literature in China, which initiated the revolutionary realism tradition of China's new literature. 1. A certain gentleman, Kun Zhong, whose real name is Jin Yin, was a good friend in middle school. After years of separation, the news gradually disappeared. I occasionally heard of a serious illness the other day; When you go back to your hometown to visit, you will only meet one person, saying that the brother of the sick person is also. The old gentleman came all the way to see you, but he has already recovered. He went somewhere to wait for him. Because I laughed, I published two diaries with the symptoms of the day. I might as well give them to my old friend. After reading it, I realized that I was suffering from "persecution mania" and so on. The language is quite incoherent, with many absurd words; It's not the month and date, but the ink font is different, so it's not a temporary handwriting. For those who have been in contact for several months, I summarized an article today for doctors to learn. Chinese mistakes are not easy to remember. However, although people's names are all villagers, they are unknown to the world and it doesn't matter, but they are also easy to walk. As for the title, I will never change it again. I met on April 2, 1977. Tonight, the moonlight is good. I haven't seen you for more than thirty years; Seeing you today is very refreshing. 3. I realized that I had been in a coma for more than 30 years. However, you must be very careful. Why else would Zhao's dog look at me? I feel horrible. There is no moonlight today, I know it's not good. When he went out carefully in the morning, Zhao Guiweng's eyes were strange: he seemed afraid of me and wanted to hurt me. There are seven or eight people whispering about me, afraid that I will see them. People along the way are like this. One of the fiercest people smiled at me with his mouth open. I was cold from head to toe until I knew they had arranged everything. I'm not afraid. I'll go my own way. A group of children in front were also talking about me there; The expression in his eyes was as blue as Zhao Guiweng's. I think I have a grudge against my child, and so does he. I can't help but say loudly, "You tell me!" They just ran away. 6. I thought: What do I have against Zhao Guiweng and the people on the road? Only twenty years ago, Mr. Gu Jiu kicked his old running book and was very unhappy. Although Zhao Guiweng didn't know him, he must have heard the wind and felt very wronged. I agree that people on the road will be right with me. But what about the baby? At that time, they were not born. Why are their eyes strange today? They seem afraid of me and want to hurt me. This really scares me, surprises me and makes me sad. I see. Their mother taught me this! 7. I can't sleep at night. Everything needs to be studied to understand. They-some lashed the magistrate of a county, some slapped the gentleman's mouth, some were robbed of their wives by officials, and some were forced to death by creditors; Their expressions at that time were not so fearful or so fierce as yesterday. The strangest thing is that the woman in the street beat her son yesterday and said, "Lao Zi! I want to bite you and vent my anger! " He looked at me with his eyes. I was surprised and couldn't hide it; The people with blue faces and fangs all burst into laughter. Chen Laowu dragged me home to catch up. 8. Dragging me home, my family pretended not to know me; They all have the same eyes as others. I locked the door when I entered the study, but now I have closed a chicken and duck. The more I teach this matter, the more I can't guess the details. 9. A few days ago, the tenants of the prodigal village came to complain about the famine and told my eldest brother that a villain in their village was killed by everyone. A few people will cut out his heart and eat it in oil, which will make him more emboldened. I interjected that both the tenant and the eldest brother looked at me. I just learned today that their eyes are exactly the same as those outside. Come to think of it, I am cold from head to toe. If they can eat people, they may not eat me. 10. Look at that woman's words of "biting you", laughing with a group of people with green faces and fangs, and the words of the tenant the day before yesterday, which are obviously code words. I can see that his words are full of poison, his smile is full of knives, and their teeth are all neat and white. This is the man who eats people. 1 1. According to my own thinking, although I'm not a villain, it's hard to say since I kicked an ancient letter. They seem to have ulterior motives, and I can't even guess. And when you turn your face, you say that people are wicked. I still remember my big brother teaching me how to do theory. No matter how good I am, I turn him over and he will play a few rounds. Forgive the bad guy a few words. He said, "Magic hands are different." I can guess what their thoughts are there; Besides, it's time to eat. 12. Everything must be studied to understand. I remember eating people in ancient times, but I don't know. I looked at the history and found that there was no age in this period of history, and the words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" were written on every crooked leaf. I can't sleep anyway. I read it carefully in the middle of the night before I saw the words through the gap. The book is full of two words: "Eat people!" There are so many words written in the book, and the tenants also said so many words, but they all looked at me with strange eyes. I'm human too. They want to eat me! 13. In the morning, I sat quietly for a while. Chen Laowu sent a meal, a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of steamed fish. Fish's eyes are white and hard, and their mouths are open, just like those who want to eat people. After eating a few chopsticks, I didn't know if it was a fish or a person, so I spit him out. 14. I said, "No.5, you told your eldest brother that I was bored and wanted to go for a walk in the garden." Old five refused, left, stopped for a while, but came to open the door. I don't move, study how they manipulate me; Knowing they won't relax. Sure enough! My eldest brother led an old man and walked slowly; He was full of fierce eyes, afraid that I would see him, but he lowered his head to the ground and secretly looked at me from the side of his glasses. Big brother said, "You seem to be fine today." I said, "Yes." The eldest brother said, "Please ask Mr. He to come today and give you a diagnosis." I said, "Yes!" In fact, I didn't know the old man was dressed as an executioner! 15. It's nothing more than being fat without being born in the name of pulse-cutting: because of this credit, I also shared a piece of meat. I'm not afraid; Although not cannibal, he is braver than them. Hold out two fists and see what he does. The old man sat with his eyes closed, touched for a long time and stayed for a long time; He opened his eyes and said, "Forget it. Just keep it quiet for a few days. " 16. Forget it and raise it quietly! After gaining weight, they can naturally eat more; What's good for me? How can I be "nothing?" They are a group of people who want to eat people and worship ghosts. They tried to cover it up and didn't dare to do it directly, which really made me laugh. I couldn't help it. I laughed and was very happy. I know there is kindness in this laughter. The old man's face was bloodless and was suppressed by my courage and loyalty. 17. But I have courage. The more they want to eat me, the braver they are. The old man stepped out of the door and didn't go far. He whispered to his eldest brother, "Eat quickly!" " Eldest brother nodded. It's you! This article is very insightful. Although it seems like an accident, it is also very concerned: the person who eats me in partnership is my brother! It is my brother who eats people! I am the brother of a cannibal! I was eaten by myself, but I am still the brother of a cannibal! 18. To say the least these days, if the old man doesn't dress up as an executioner, he is still a man-eater. In the "Materia Medica" produced by their ancestor Li Shizhen, it is clearly written that human flesh can be fried and eaten; Can he still say not to eat people? As for my eldest brother, I have never wronged him. When he told me a book, he said that he could "eat easily". Once again, he inadvertently talked about a bad guy. He said that he would not only kill him, but also "eat meat as skin". I was young and my heart was beating for a long time. Not surprisingly, a few days ago, the tenants of the prodigal village came to eat their hearts and kept nodding. It can be seen that the mind is as cruel as before. Since you can "eat for a change", everything is easy to get and everyone can eat. I used to listen to his reasoning alone and use it indiscriminately; Now we know that when he makes sense, not only is his mouth smeared with human oil, but his heart is also full of cannibalism. 19. It was dark. I don't know whether it is day or night. Zhao's dog barked again. As fierce as a lion, as timid as a rabbit, as cunning as a fox, ... 20. I know their methods, but I won't kill them directly, nor dare I, for fear of getting into trouble. So I contacted them all, and they were full of traps, forcing me to commit suicide. Look at what the men and women in the street and my eldest brother have done in the past few days, and you can realize eight or nine points. It is best to take off your belt, hang it on the beam and strangle yourself; They didn't kill anyone, but they realized their wishes. Naturally, they all gave a happy laugh. Otherwise, I will be scared to death. Although I'm a little thinner, I can still nod my head a few times. 2 1. They only eat dead meat! -I remember what book said there was a thing called "the sea", with ugly eyes and looks; Often eat dead meat, even huge bones, chew it carefully and swallow it, which is also terrible to think of. "Hayina" is a relative of the wolf, and the wolf is the dog's family. Zhao's dog looked at me the day before yesterday, showing that he was also an accomplice and was close to him. The old man's eyes are on the ground, so he can't hide it from me. The most pitiful is my eldest brother, who is also a human being. Why isn't he afraid? Partner to eat me? Or have you always been used to it, right? Or did you lose your conscience and knowingly commit a crime? I curse the man who eats people, starting with him; If you want to convince a cannibal to turn around, start with him. 22. In fact, they should understand this truth now ... suddenly a person came; He is only about twenty years old and his appearance is not very clear. He was smiling all over his face. When he nodded to me, his smile didn't look like a real smile. I asked him, "Eating people, right?" He still smiled and said, "If it wasn't a famine year, how could it eat people?" I knew at once that he was also a group and liked to eat people; He was very courageous and insisted on asking him. "Right?" "Ask him what such a thing. You are really good at telling jokes. ..... The weather is very good today. " 23. The weather is fine and the moonlight is bright. But I want to ask you, "Right?" He doesn't think so. Hu and Hu replied, "No ..." "No? Why do they eat? ! "24. Nothing ..." "Nothing? The prodigal son village is eating now; And the book says, red and new! "25. His face turned blue. Open your eyes and say, "Maybe, it has never been like this ..." "It has never been like this, right?" "I won't tell you these truths; In short, you shouldn't say it. It's your fault if you say it! "26. I jumped up and opened my eyes. The man was gone. I'm sweating all over. His age, much younger than my eldest brother, is actually a group; This must have been taught by his mother. I'm afraid I have taught it to his son; So even children look at me with malicious intent. 27. I want to eat people, but I am afraid of being eaten by others. They all looked at each other with great suspicion. ..... Get rid of this mentality, do things with confidence, eat and sleep on foot, how comfortable it is. This is just a threshold, a pass. They are father and son, brothers, husband and wife, friends, teachers and students, enemies and strangers. They all form a group, encouraging each other and pulling each other, and will never cross this step. 28. Early in the morning, go to see my eldest brother; He stood outside the hall door and looked at the sky. I walked behind him, stopped the door and said to him very silently and kindly, "Big Brother, I have something to talk to you." "You say. "He turned quickly and nodded." I only have a few words, but I won't say them. "Brother, about the savage at the beginning, they all ate a little. Later, because of different minds, some people stopped eating people and just wanted to be better, so they became human beings and real people. Some are still eating, just like insects, and some have become fish, birds, monkeys and even people. Some are not good, or bugs. This man who eats people is more shameful than a man who doesn't eat people. I'm afraid it's far worse than the shy monkey of the bug. 30. They want to eat me, you can't think alone; But why do you want to join? People who eat people are powerless; They will eat me, they will eat you, and they will eat themselves in groups. But as long as you take a step and change immediately, everyone will live in peace. Although it has never been like this, we can be particularly good today and say no! Brother, I believe you can say that the tenant wanted to reduce the rent the day before yesterday, but you saidno. " 3 1. At first he just sneered, then his eyes became fierce. His face turned blue when he revealed their secret. 32. Outside the gate stood a group of people, Zhao Guiweng and his dog, who were also inside, asking around. Some are invisible faces, which seem to be covered with cloth; Some are still green-faced and fangs, sipping their mouths and laughing. I know they are a group. They are all cannibals. However, I also know that their minds are very different. One is that they think they should eat like this. One is that he knows he shouldn't eat, but he still wants to eat, but he's afraid he won't tell him anything, so he gets more and more angry after listening to my words, but he laughs while covering his mouth. 33. Just then, the boss suddenly appeared lost face and shouted, "Everybody out! What is there to see in a madman! " 34. At this time, I learned the other side of their cleverness. They not only refused to change, but also arranged it; Prepare the name of the next madman to cover me. After eating it, it will not only be peaceful, but also be afraid that someone will see it. The tenant said everyone ate the wicked, that's all. This is their old spectrum! 35. Chen Laowu also came in angrily. How can I keep my mouth shut? I have to say to these people, "you can change, from the heart!" You know, cannibals are not allowed in the world in the future. " If you don't change it, eat it yourself. Even if there are many births, they will be destroyed by real people, just like hunters killing wolves! Like a bug! "36. That group of people were all driven away by Chen Laowu. Big brother doesn't know where he has gone. Chen Laowu advised me to go back to the house. It was dark in the room. Beam rafters shaking on the head; I shook it for a while and then I grew up and piled it on me. 37. Extremely heavy and unable to move; He tried to kill me. I knew his heaviness was fake, so I struggled out and broke out in a sweat. Instead, he said firmly, "You changed immediately, from sincerity! You should know that there will be no room for eating people in the future ... "38. The sun will not rise, the door will not open, and there will be two meals a day. When I picked up chopsticks, I thought of my big brother. It's all his fault to know that my sister is dead. At that time, my sister was only five years old, and her lovely and pitiful appearance was still in sight. Mother kept crying, but he advised her not to cry. Probably because I ate it, I felt a little guilty when I cried. If I still feel guilty, ... my sister was eaten by my eldest brother, I wonder if my mother knows. Mom wants to know; But I didn't explain when I cried, and I thought it was appropriate. I remember when I was four or five years old, I sat in front of the hall to enjoy the cool. My eldest brother said that my parents were ill, and a son was going to cut off a piece of meat and invite him to eat it when it was cooked. Mom didn't sayno. If you eat one piece, you can eat the whole piece naturally. But the way I cried that day, now that I think about it, it's really sad. This is really a strange thing! 39. I can't think of it. The place where people ate people for 4 thousand years, I didn't know until today that I had been in it for many years; Eldest brother is in charge of housework, and my sister just died. He may not be in the food, but he gave it to us secretly. I accidentally ate a few pieces of my sister's meat, and now it's my turn ... I didn't know it at first, but now I understand that real people are hard to see! 40. I haven't eaten other people's children, but I still have them. Save the children ... (19 18 April. )
