"If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence" comes from Lu Xun's "In Memory of Liu Hezhenjun". This sentence describes that people have two choices in adversity. One is to break out in silence. There is still a glimmer of hope. One is to continue to languish and remain silent forever, waiting only for death.
After attending Liu Hezhen’s memorial service, Mr. Lu Xun personally wrote the article "In Memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen". One of the lines is "Silence, silence! If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence." has become a widely-sung saying in memory of the student who always smiled.
Extended information:
"If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence." According to Lu Xun's words at that time, in that oppressive era, most Chinese people chose silence .
But after all, some people are unwilling to endure such humiliating silence, just like Liu Hezhen, who declared war on the feudal forces and Beiyang warlords. If you don't want to die in this silence. We should break out in silence and bravely pick up the weapons in our hands to fight, so as to awaken the dignity in the hearts of the Chinese people.
