In the feudal society of China for more than 2,000 years, the ruling class has always maintained its reactionary rule with two hands: violent repression and spiritual slavery. Spiritual slavery is to poison the ruled with all kinds of feudal preaching, make the ruled ignorant and numb, and become a slave without knowing his slave status. The "internal injuries" caused by this spiritual slavery to the ruled are amazing. Feudal poison penetrated into the souls of many people more and more deeply, making them deformed, slaughtered by imperialism and ravaged by the ruling class. Later, the Chinese nation became domestic and foreign, and faced the danger of national subjugation and extinction.

In order to save China from peril, Dr. Sun Yat-sen persisted. 19 1 1 year revolutionaries fought bravely. The revolutionary pioneers' enthusiasm and dedication to saving the country are really touching. But the Revolution of 1911 finally failed. This is because the revolutionaries adopted a compromise attitude towards the feudal class; Second, because the revolutionaries did not pay attention to the propaganda, education and mobilization of the broad masses of the people, the broad masses of the people were in a state of unconsciousness and did not get up to support and participate in this revolution? . Therefore, after the Revolution of 1911, China society was still in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial state.

Lu Xun deeply felt that China must carry out a thorough reform, and if the reform is to succeed, it is necessary to awaken the "sleepy" people and change their mental state. Therefore, Lu Xun used a pen as a knife all his life to dissect the soul of China's society and people, and thoroughly exposed and mercilessly criticized the backwardness and negative aspects of their spiritual world. For the ruled, Lu Xun "lamented his misfortune and angered him." He wrote The True Story of Ah Q in order to enlighten the ruled, let them face up to their own problems and see their own bad habits, so as to get rid of the spiritual shackles and rise up and fight for "creating the third era that has never been seen in China's history". Therefore, he said in How do I Start a Novel: "My materials are mostly taken from the unfortunate people in a morbid society, aiming to expose the suffering and attract the attention of treatment."
