First, select the original paragraph.
One day about two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the shopkeeper was slowly checking out, took off his pink board and suddenly said, "Kong Yiji hasn't been here for a long time. I still owe nineteen dollars! " I also think he hasn't come for a long time. A drinker said, "Why did he come?" ..... he broke his leg. "
The shopkeeper said, "Oh!" "He is still stealing. This time, I lost my mind and stole it to Ding's house. Did you steal from his family? " "What happened later?"
"how about it? Write a defense first, then fight, fight until midnight, and then break your leg. " "What happened later?" "Then I broke my leg." "How about a discount?" "Why? ..... who knows? Maybe it's dead. " The shopkeeper stopped asking and continued to calculate the account slowly.
Second, the creative process
Kong Yiji wrote it in the winter of 19 18. At that time, "New Youth" was taken as the position. Although the prologue of the New Culture Movement has begun, the countercurrent of feudal retro is still rampant. Although 1906 abolished the imperial examination system, the social foundation for training people like Kong Yiji still exists, and the Confucian and Mencius' way is still the core content of social education, so it is possible to produce a new "Kong Yiji".
To save the younger generation, we must not let them follow the old path of Kong Yiji. Lu Xun chose the Xianheng Hotel in Luzhen, a corner of the society, to artistically show the life of this poor intellectual in the society more than 20 years ago, that is, by comparing Kong Yiji's life track with the current education situation at that time, to inspire readers to think about social education and school education at that time and criticize the feudal education system and the imperial examination system.
