There is no road in the world, and more people will become the road, which means that the existence of "hope" depends on practice, and there is no hope if you wait passively; Strive hard and hope will come true.

This sentence comes from the novel Hometown by Mr. Lu Xun.

There are two kinds of atmosphere in this novel, one is heavy and gloomy, and the other is light and joyful (the former is like the description of the scenery at the beginning and near the end, and the latter is like the scene of a watermelon field under the moon). These two kinds of atmosphere seem as if light and dark are projected on both sides of an object at the same time, giving people a complex, rich and beautiful experience and infection.

Creation background of Hometown:

The author Lu Xun left his hometown of Shaoxing for the first time in 1898, "wanting to take a different road, escape from a different place, and seek different people". In December 1919, he went back to his hometown Shaoxing for the last time to meet his mother and others to live in Beijing.

From Lu Xun's Diary, we can know the process of his return to his hometown: in September 1919, Lu Xun sold his old house in Shaoxing, added some money and bought the Badaowan mansion near Xinjiekou, Xicheng, Beijing. The renovation was completed in November, and on the 21st, "I moved into Badao Bend House with my second brother's family in the morning". On 26th, Lu Xun wrote "Please go back to the province".

on December 1st, I left Beijing for my hometown. On the evening of 4th, I "arrived in Shaoxing City, that is, I went home by sedan chair" and stayed in my hometown for about twenty days. On December 24th, "In the afternoon, two boats were sent to Shaoxing with their mothers, three brothers and their families carrying luggage". Arrived in Beijing at noon on the 29th and "arrived home in the afternoon". Round trip is about 29 days.

The story of Hometown is based on this life experience. However, this is only the point that triggers the story, but the work really reflects a broader and deeper social background.

Hometown was written in January, 1921. It was first published in New Youth magazine, Volume 9, No.1, and was later incorporated into the novel collection Scream by the author.
