A living person, of course, always has to live. Even a real old slave is still struggling to live. However, if he knows that he is a slave, he is struggling, struggling, and "planning" to break free. Even if he fails temporarily, he is still bound, but he is just a slave.
If you find "beauty" in slave life, appreciate it, touch it and revel in it, you will be a doomed slave! He let himself and others live in this life forever. It is precisely because of this difference between slaves that there is a difference between peace and uneasiness in society and a clear difference between anesthesia and fighting in literature.

Lu Xun, who fought with a pen all his life, is known as "soul of china", the banner of modern literature. He is a great proletarian writer, thinker and revolutionary in modern China, the founder of modern literature in China, and is known as Tolstoy of China. Mao Zedong commented that he was the commander-in-chief of China's Cultural Revolution. "Bowing one's head and being a willing ox" is a portrayal of Mr. Lu Xun's life.
His article is extremely critical. Lu Xun once divided it into "social criticism" and "civilization criticism", emphasizing the connotation and function of "criticism" in essays. From Hot Wind, the criticism of feudal ethics and old traditions and the debate with the retro school continued until the end of Luan Jieting's essay, protesting against the fascist dictatorship of the Kuomintang government and countering China's "Left-leaning" line.
