Lu Xun also has other famous sayings that advocate dedication: "What you eat is grass, and what you squeeze out is milk". For example, if you frown and look at a thousand fingers, you will bow your head and be a willing cow. It means angry with people who have lost their conscience and are accused by thousands of people, and willing to be a scalper for the people.

This sentence comes from Lu Xun's poem "Self-mockery": Look at a thousand fingers coldly and bow your head as a willing ox. It expresses Lu Xun's mentality of never giving in to the enemy and being willing to serve the people.

When this poem was written, it was in the early 1930s, when Lu Xun was in Shanghai and was threatened and persecuted by the Kuomintang rulers at that time. At that time, the Kuomintang rulers banned books and newspapers, closed bookstores, promulgated bad publishing laws, wanted writers, arrested and detained left-wing writers and secretly executed them.
