Extended data:
Kong Yiji is the hero in Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji. Kong Yiji is the second vernacular novel written by Lu Xun on the eve of the May 4th Movement after Diary of a Madman. This novel describes a scholar, Kong Yiji, who lost his dignity as a man in a pub and became the object of ridicule, thus exposing the social problems at that time.
Kong Yiji's pitiful and ridiculous personality characteristics and tragic ending are not only vivid portrayal of the tragic fate of the broad masses of lower-level intellectuals in old China who thought that the imperial examination had only one way out, but also concrete manifestation of the "cannibalism" nature of the imperial examination system under the exclusive authority of China's feudal Confucianism.
