Among all Lu Xun's works, The True Story of Ah Q is his masterpiece, and it has been widely praised at home and abroad because it has successfully created a typical tragic little person who relies on spiritual victory to make a living. The reason why The True Story of Ah Q is impressive is mainly because Lu Xun summed up the "spiritual victory law", a serious chronic disease that corroded the whole Chinese nation, by shaping the image of Ah Q. Lu Xun has repeatedly said that he created The True Story of Ah Q in order to write the modern soul of our people, draw the soul of the silent, and expose the weakness of the people, thus causing treatment. The True Story of Ah Q is a biography of a humble little person in expression. In fact, I want to portray this character to reflect his influence and tragedy on everyone in China and expose the weakness of the people at that time. At that time, China was in the transition period from traditional society to modern society and from rural society to industrial society. As a representative of the local people, Ah Q's fate as an old man is doomed to be tragic.
Ah Q thinks he has been to the city, but he still "despises people in the city, such as benches made of three feet and three inches wide boards." The people in the village are called "bench", and he is also called "bench". The people in the city are called "bench" and "fried bighead carp. There are half an inch of onion leaves in the village, but there are finely chopped onions in the city". In Ah Q's view. Obviously, in Ah Q's attitude and views on the city people, there also appeared the feelings of the closed and conservative country people towards the enthusiastic city people at that time. He expressed his criticism, denial and rejection of urban life with the local people's way of thinking and value orientation, and also showed the social pathology of urban-rural opposition and separation. Ah Q like this, I think even in modern society, even in the future society, has always existed. Feudal thought has influenced us for more than two thousand years and is deeply rooted. Where can modernity be completely eliminated in such a short time? Modern urban-rural economic gap and ideological gap still exist widely. Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, the gap between urban and rural areas is getting bigger and bigger. Even if the gap between urban and rural areas does not widen in the future, it will not be completely broken. In the eyes of rural people, the increasingly open urban people are Ah Q; In the eyes of city people, Ah Q is still so conservative.
