Extended data:

First, Lu Xun's three spirits:

1, Lu Xun's patriotism

Lu Xun made a great wish of "I recommend Xuanyuan with hot blood" from his youth. After he became a capitalist, he devoted everything to the cause of national liberation and social liberation more consciously. He showed no mercy to the enemy and showed sincere love for the motherland and people. The well-known phrase "look at a thousand fingers coldly and bow down as a willing ox" is a vivid portrayal of his patriotism and noble personality.

For the sake of the motherland's freedom from humiliation and people's liberation, he worked tirelessly all his life and always stood at the forefront of the trend of the times. Thorough patriotism made him resolutely betray the feudal scholar-bureaucrat class from which he came, saw clearly the weakness and vacillation of the bourgeoisie in China, and firmly believed that only the proletariat and socialism could save the motherland.

China intellectuals' lofty integrity of "wealth can't be immoral, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent", and China people's glorious tradition of never being bullied by outsiders and fighting bravely to safeguard national dignity has been embodied in Lu Xun, and later sublimated under the guidance of the capitalist world outlook, gaining a brand-new nature and content of the times.

He is selfless and fearless, eating grass and squeezing out milk. He is the first to set an example and serve the people wholeheartedly. After Lu Xun's death, the people of Shanghai and the whole country held a grand funeral and mourning activities for him, and the Shanghai people's representatives covered his coffin with a banner with the words "soul of china". "soul of china" is China people's most pertinent and appropriate evaluation of their great representative.

2. Lu Xun's fighting spirit

Lu Xun's bones are the hardest and his struggle is the most determined. He advocates hard fighting. "Resilience" means perseverance and perseverance. Lu Xun clearly saw that the revolution could not be smooth sailing, and setbacks, failures and sacrifices were inevitable.

However, in order to achieve the revolutionary goal of national liberation and national prosperity, "even if it is difficult, we must do it; The more difficult it is, the more you have to do it. " Lu Xun has always disapproved of romantic illusions about the revolutionary cause, and repeatedly criticized those who think that the revolution is "only a catty of success", pointing out that "everything that is stable will be swept away, and there will be no war without revolution" and "the revolution is bloody and filthy, but there are babies".

At the low tide of the revolution, on the one hand, he waged an uncompromising struggle with the enemy, ready to sacrifice his life at any time, on the other hand, he denounced traitors who betrayed the revolution, exposed speculators attached to lions who infiltrated the revolutionary camp, and "somersaulters" who competed to confess their downfall when the revolution was frustrated.

At the height of the revolution, he also warned people not to be hot-headed and to "hold the camp first." Lu Xun's rock-like revolutionary firmness and tenacious fighting spirit come from his correct grasp of the law of historical development and from his flesh-and-blood ties with the people and advanced social forces.

From Lu Xun, we can see what is the great wisdom and courage of Marxism, what is the moral integrity that a true revolutionary should have, and who is the backbone and backbone of the Chinese nation.

3. Lu Xun's spirit of learning from others and being brave in innovation.

Lu Xun not only stands firm, but also has a broad mind and broad vision; He is not only the inheritor of the excellent tradition of the Chinese nation, but also a reformer committed to innovation. With a sharp pen, he lashed the foreign slave comprador who harmed and abandoned the interests of the motherland, and at the same time resolutely opposed nationalism and complacency;

He waged an uncompromising struggle against the trend of total westernization, strongly advocated absorbing all the strengths of all countries in the world, appreciated the "spirit of Han and Tang Dynasties" and advocated "takenism". In all his cultural heritage, translated works account for about one third.

He always takes pains to introduce excellent foreign literary works and theoretical works, paying special attention to works that reflect the struggle of small and weak ethnic groups against foreign aggression and domestic oppression. As a great writer, he absorbed the advantages of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, integrated them and used them for me. According to the needs of expressing his new life, he created many artistic images with novel ideas and unique personalities.

This spirit applies not only to literary and artistic creation, but also to other fields by extension. Today, under the premise of adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles, we must further deepen reform and open wider to the outside world.

We should constantly expand economic, technological and cultural exchanges with foreign countries and strengthen friendly exchanges with people of other countries. To build a socialist economy, politics and culture with China characteristics, we must adhere to independence and actively absorb all beneficial nutrients from abroad on the basis of independence. In this regard, there are many things in Lu Xun's legacy that can give us profound enlightenment.
