-read "weeds"

In my limited reading, it seems that only Lu Xun can often write dreams, and it is beautiful and attractive. The uncompromising fighter compromised in his dream. He said: "The most painful thing in life is that there is no way to go after waking up. Happy are dreamers; If you can't see the way to go, the most important thing is not to wake him. " However, even in the dream, Mr. Wang is still awake, and he is still thinking about where the way out is.

Mr. Lu Xun's lifelong dreams are all gathered in a booklet called Weeds, which has only 24 short articles. Mr. Lu commented that most of the articles are miserable white flowers on the edge of abandoned hell, and of course they are not beautiful. Mr. Wang doesn't want young people in the new era to turn over, because it is "depressed". He says weeds only belong to himself.

When Mr. Lu Xun was writing Weeds, the May 4th hurricane had passed. At that time, warlords were in melee, the New Culture Movement was torn apart, the classic in education was retro, and lovelorn poems prevailed in Wen Yuan. As Mr. Lu later summed up himself, "Later, the group of" New Youth "dispersed, some rose, some retired, and some entered. After a period of time, my partners in the same battle will still change like this."

In the opening "Inscription" of "Wild Grass", the first sentence that comes into view is that when I am silent, I feel full; I will open my mouth and feel empty at the same time. -people feel very puzzled. After reading more than twenty articles, it seems that I suddenly realized. Due to Mr. Wang's diplomatic difficulties at that time, his long-term reliance on the theory of evolution and individualism as a fighting weapon and spiritual pillar could not solve his spiritual crux during the low tide of the national liberation movement. At this time, Mr. Wang is "wandering alone", he can't see the light, and he is desperate. However, even so, he did not choose to be silent. He can talk. Even if he got emptiness, he said, "I am calm and happy." I can laugh, I can sing. " Mr. Wang told us with his unswerving actions that he was fighting despair.

I think, at the very least, we should find out how despair comes from. In addition to the above discussion about knowing people, I think the most important thing is to go deep into the text itself. Among these articles, the most clear explanation is passers-by. Mr. Wang said through the mouth of passers-by: "There is no place without a name, no place without a landlord, no place without expulsion and imprisonment, no place without a smile, no place without tears off the track." Here, we can see the despair of passers-by, but what moves us is that passers-by still hasn't stopped moving forward, even if there is a grave in front. He said, yes, I'm leaving. There's a voice ahead urging me to call me and make me fidgety. The figure of a passerby is also a true portrayal of Mr. Wang's face to reality.

If you read Weeds carefully, you will find many paradoxes and irreconcilable contradictions. For example, jujube trees on autumn nights are black and blue. It suffered from the oppression of the sky, but it still stabbed the "extremely high sky" with its injured branches. It didn't compromise, its leaves fell out, it looked forward to spring, and at the same time, it was soberly aware that there would be winter and cold after spring. However, this is the problem. Jujube doesn't know when the spring it expects will come. It doesn't know when the light will disperse the night. It doesn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices like a "flying insect", but it doesn't know how to resist the night. But jujube firmly believes that the night will pass and the light will come sooner or later.

In A Farewell to Shadow, this contradiction is even more painful. He said I was just a shadow, the night would engulf me, and the light would make me disappear. I just wander between light and darkness. I don't belong to the night or the light. He said I would just be empty and homeless. There is also the dead fire in the dead fire, which I found by accident in the ice valley. It is frozen, and I can take it back to the mainland to make it see the light again, but at this moment, the dead fire is in a dilemma: returning home means burning out instantly; And staying in the ice valley means permanent solidification. Between the moment and eternity, the dead fire finally chose the moment, but choosing the moment also means choosing death.

I have always enjoyed the lectures given by Professor Sun from Peking University in the Literature Museum. His conclusion is that the philosophy of life in Weeds is actually a philosophy of life against despair. And "the so-called' resistance to despair' is not the suffering and chewing of a lonely person in a closed world, but the self-resistance and reflection of the soul when it feels lonely in the resistance struggle. Its emergence and connotation are deeply related to the actual living conditions. " I think what Mr. Sun said hit the nail on the head.

Because of the realistic environment at that time, Lu Xun had to choose Qu Bi, and it was precisely because of the use of Qu Bi that the article was obscure and difficult to understand, which increased the strangeness of the article. In the preface to the English version of Weeds, Mr. Lu Xun explained himself like this: "I was lovelorn because I satirized the popular lovelorn poems at that time, because I hated the number of onlookers in society, so I wrote the first article of Revenge, and because I was amazed at the depression of young people, I wrote Hope." "Such a Warrior" was written with the feeling that literati helped warlords. Laye is made for those who love me and want to save me. After the Duan government shot and killed unarmed people, it committed "fainting blood". At that time, I had taken refuge elsewhere; When the Fengtian School and the Zhili School fought, I wrote "A Unique Skill", and I can't live in Beijing after that. Through Mr. Wang's explanation, we may not be difficult to understand: why in the text, the obscurity, heaviness and strangeness of dreams and the gloom and mystery of "ghosts" appear repeatedly; Fantasy scenes, absurd plots; Uncertain vague ideas, unreasonable abnormal feelings; Magnificence, Leng Yan color, strange imagination and rich poetry. ...

Resisting despair is a conscious commitment, and a pious mind is willing to bear the deep suffering and shame of a nation. Mr. Wang shouldered the cross of an ancient nation without complaint and strove forward. Soul of china is a true portrayal of Mr. Wang. He said, I will travel alone, not only without you, but also without other shadows in the darkness. Only I am submerged by the darkness and the world belongs to me. ...
