Chapter 102: The True Story of Ah Q

In 1979, Qian Zhongshu said in the United States: "Lu Xun's short stories are very well written, but he is only suitable for writing 'short-breathed' chapters, not 'long-breathing'. 」

Li Ao believes that Lu Xun is overrated in Chinese mainland: "Lu Xun wrote "The True Story of Ah Q" and "A History of Chinese Novels", which are very good books. However, Lu Xun's essays are actually not good.

First, his essays are influenced by Japanese grammar, and there is also a kind of classical Chinese that is not mature enough. So his writing is very awkward.

Second, there are too many emotional expressions in his essays, and there is not much real information. If you read my article, you delete the emotional word, and what you read is still information, which is evidence. Lu Xun lacked something in this regard. 」

"To this day, if someone still says how well Lu Xun's articles are written, I must say that this kind of person has not improved. 」

Li Ao also mentioned that when Lu Xun asked him if Xiao Jun should join the party, he replied that he should not join, and if he entered, he would die (miscellaneous comments on Lu Xun and his grandson)

Wang Shuo: "I want to say that Lu Xun's novels are indeed well written, but not all of them are good, and none of the writers' works are good, that's nonsense. Moreover, it is not true to say that Lu Xun's novels represent the highest level of Chinese fiction. 」

Xia Zhiqing: "Lu Xun was the first person in China to write novels in the new Western-style style, and is widely regarded as the greatest modern Chinese writer. For the last six years of his life, he was a cultural icon to the readership of the left-wing press.

Since his death, the reputation has become more and more mythologized. Shortly after his death. The 20th edition of the Complete Works of Lu Xun was published immediately, which became a major event in the modern Chinese literary circle.

Even more striking is the proliferation of Lu Xun's writings: memoirs, biographies, treatises on his work and ideas, and countless articles commemorating his death in newspaper magazines over the past two decades.

Among modern Chinese writers, no one has ever enjoyed this honor. This distinction is, of course, a manufacture. Of course, before the government hailed him as a hero, Lu Xun was already a highly regarded writer. Without his own prestige as a basis, the government would not have had to bother to concoct a myth. 」

Wang Meng: "There is a Lu Xun in the literary world, and that is a very great thing. What if there are fifty Lu Xun? Oh my God!"

Lu Xun: "Has anyone fallen into trouble from a well-off family? I thought that on this journey, I could see the true face of the world. Preface to The Scream

The True Story of Ah Q is Lu Xun's only novella, written in 1921. The first chapter was published in the Beijing Morning Post Supplement.

The first chapter of "The True Story of Ah Q" was published in the "Happy Words" column of the "Morning Post Supplement". The beginning satirizes the almost comical writing of the critics.

But Lu Xun "really did not aim to be funny or pathetic", and wanted to write "the soul of a modern Chinese people". From the second chapter, the "New Literature and Art" column was moved, and later included in the novel collection "Scream".

Successfully created the typical image of Ah Q. The "Q" is supposed to be called "qui/quei" here, but most people are now accustomed to pronouncing it according to the English letter Q.

Ah Q – the protagonist of the novel. The little people in society. One poor and two white. But self-esteem is heavy. Every time something unfortunate happens, I will find some plausible reason to comfort myself.

Mrs. Zhao - Squire, Ah Q's "rice class master". He was very harsh on Ah Q.

Mother Wu - a female worker in Mrs. Zhao's family, Ah Q once spoke disrespectfully to her.

Little D is also a low-level person, and he makes a living as a domestic helper. He once had a fight with Ah Q. Lu Xun thought that he "will also be another Ah Q when he grows up".

But although it was a worm, the idler did not let go, and still touched him five or six times in the nearest place, and then he went away satisfied, thinking that Ah Q had suffered a plague this time.

However, in less than ten seconds, Ah Q also walked away satisfied, he felt that he was the first person who could delight himself, except for "self-contempt", the rest was the "first". Isn't the champion also the "first"?"What kind of thing are you??—"The True Story of Ah Q"?

The character of Ah Q has its own complex character, but the inner world of his character is not complicated. In times of oppression, he uses the method of spiritual victory to achieve emotional balance, and his spirit has no persistent pursuit;

Lu Xun "mourns his misfortune and is angry with him", the editor once put it in the "Happy Talk" column, but it was actually full of pain and sorrow, and people who read it did not think they were happy.

In 1937, Chairman Mao talked about "The True Story of Ah Q" with the American writer Smedley in Yan'an, and commented that some people in China carry the spirit of Ah Q and believe that they are victorious at all times, and others are defeated.

And in 1955, at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, it was said that we should not be "fake foreign devils" and not allow others to engage in revolution.

Ren Jiyue believes that there are many articles that study and comment on "The True Story of Ah Q", and some of them are quite well written, but they focus on the literary aspect, but the articles that grasp the essence of the Chinese peasants and dissect them in depth are rare.

Many people can't see this and laugh at some of Ah Q's shortcomings and problems, but in fact, everyone has these hairy patients, and they are birthmarks brought about by traditional Chinese culture for a long time.

Qian Liqun believes that until his death, Lu Xun still felt "estranged" because "not many people can understand the original meaning of "The True Story of Ah Q", and the main aspect is that Lu Xun's thinking about "Ah Q-like revolution" is not understood.

Lu Xun sighed, "The original intention of "The True Story of Ah Q", I pay attention to various comments, and I think there are not many people who can understand it. After being put on the screen, it is probably not a diaphragm, for people to laugh at, which is quite boring, so it is better not to do it. 」

Lu Xun once said that Ah Q also has a revolutionary consciousness, but researchers have not discussed much about it.

Wang Wei pointed out, "Ah Q has the meaning of awakening several times. The awakening here is not the awakening of becoming a revolutionary, but the instinctive proximity to his own situation, and the revolutionary impetus that is close to Ah Q is hidden in his instinct and subconscious. 」

The novel has been translated into various languages. The French writers Roman and Rolland believe that "this satirical and realistic work is worldly, and there was also Ah Q during the French Revolution, and I will never forget Ah Q's distressed face." 」

It has also influenced other Chinese writers and their writings, such as Lao She's Tale of Cat City, which depicts the indifference of visitors

Evening Diary - When my boss came back from a workout and asked me if I had played stocks, he said that he had lost a lot of money recently.

The boss (leader) of the company is my friend, and he does not have as much power as me, because I know more real estate friends in this area than he does.

The reason I haven't worked seriously for a long, long time is because I really don't have any interest anymore, and believe it or not, it's none of my business.

Few people can understand and understand the essence of real estate better than I do, especially real estate businessmen and scholars, because I am the only one who is a soldier on the battlefield and a thinker, and others have different perspectives, especially I am good at being in the middle and looking down on it.

I have been looking at the boss for 13 years, his work and life is to constantly travel and play cards, earning 200 to 10 million a year, although it is not as good as the income of top employees, but it is very stable and does not have to do work things, at most it is just a matter of mediating personnel.

Until this year finally changed, about two years ago, two super fighters left, these two equals the income of the other half of the company, it doesn't matter, there is the other half.

This year, forty more generals of various sizes have left, which has led to him finally not making money. Fortunately, a while ago, he invested in companies in other industries, and the future is quite optimistic.

So, yesterday and the day before yesterday, I forgot, and I said that I don't know what Lu Dao was going to do, just like the book mentioned that two groups of Asians went to Africa, one group was to squeeze labor to get the development of enterprises, and the other group was to go to the Tzu Chi Volunteer Education School.

The mentality of these two groups of people is not me, just like a bystander, I just watch, and I just talk about it when I see it. It's time to get off work, talk, train your typing speed, flash, see you at midnight. Sorry, flowers.

Speaking of my own heart, maybe many of my unfamiliar friends think I am proud and arrogant, but the same thing about my, it is enough to understand my own strength, it is enough to know myself and the other, and the rest is none of my business.

Friends who are familiar with me know the Tao, because they usually deal with me, so they know that the author is a gentle person who has no quarrel with the world and is crazy and arrogant. Today, I have answered some questions from readers, some of which are of course not readers, but since they all met in the online text, they are collectively referred to as readers.

Xiao Shun Shun YY said: "Actually, I prefer a carefree life, no need to worry about the world, in my spare time, sit in front of the computer and use my fingers to outline a world I want, this feeling is very good, but the dream is always full, but the reality is very skinny, even the dragon you are at ease can not completely get rid of the world!

I replied, "Of course, because there is no way, there are evil people and bad people in this world, and if you don't get into your body, sometimes the turmoil will hit your body the same, and the difference is that if you know more and see more, you can laugh and face it calmly."

In fact, at the starting point, you can easily judge those who are bad people, evil people, and people who have no character, and those who will brush up on bad reviews are all bad people, evil people, and people who have no character, because they don't understand any common sense and reasoning about life. This kind of person is all dregs in society, in the country, on the earth, it is a saboteur, and it is not helpful to the human race, and the fewer such people, the better, and of course the fewer garbage people, the better.

Bad people, wicked people, and people with no character can see it, and there will always be bad people in this world, so we must be brave to face challenges when encountered. (To be continued......)
