Mr. Lu Xun has a famous saying, "If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence." This famous saying reflects the character of Mr. Lu Xun's life. He never tactful or shrinking, he always explodes. on the way.

Although he is a well-educated literati, he is different from other literati. He is not sad and depressed, but constantly erupts like lava, and the way of erupting is to curse.

However, the difference between Mr. Lu Xun and Internet trolls is that trolls troll for the sake of trolling, while Mr. Lu Xun trolls for the sake of the world, an ideal, and a belief.

Mr. Tang Bohu will laugh at the ridiculous people in the world, while Mr. Lu Xun will scold everyone who deserves to be scolded, using scolding to wake up the people, and using scolding to express his persistence. But the strange thing is that Mr. Lu Xun cursed all the figures in the Republic of China, but it did not affect Cixi, Yuan Shikai and Chiang Kai-shek. So why is this?

1. Mr. Lu Xun’s way of cursing

This is the case for both Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Zhang Taiyan. Mr. Zhang Taiyan is crazy on the surface, but in fact he alludes to the current ills. The same is generally true for Mr. Lu Xun. His anger is a resistance to the entire era and its mistakes, and it also expresses his own feelings. Political Views.

Someone once made a statistics. There are hundreds of people on the list of people cursed by Mr. Lu Xun, ranging from scholars to important politicians, even university professors, and his brother Zhou Zuoren. It can be said that Mr. Lu Xun would not stop at the whim, and once he started scolding, he would not care about the target at all.

Among the many people who have been scolded, the one who has been scolded the most is Mr. Guo Moruo. As a master of history in the last century, Mr. Guo Moruo's academic accomplishment can be said to be very high. But because of the problem of marrying him, he was crazily belittled by Mr. Lu Xun. According to records, Mr. Guo Moruo once wrote a divorce letter and married a Japanese noblewoman because he hated his first wife. Then he abandoned his second wife and married a new man.

Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun was extremely disgusted with Mr. Guo Moruo's behavior. He even said in "A Glimpse of Shanghai Literature and Art" that he looked like a dog from a distance, but Guo Moruo looked like a dog from up close.

The next step was to scold Mr. Hu Shi. The two parted ways during the May 4th Movement. From then on, Mr. Lu Xun was particularly dissatisfied with Mr. Hu Shi. He hated Mr. Hu Shi's betrayal, believed that Mr. Hu Shi's pleas and entreaties to Japanese imperialism were wrong, and felt that Mr. Hu Shi was too dependent. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun satirized that Hu Shi was a traitor, he was completely deviated from his own ideas, and what Mr. Hu Shi did was disgusting.

In addition, Mr. Lu Xun also criticized Liang Shiqiu. The conflict between the two originated from the criticism of Rousseau in 1927. Mr. Liang Shiqiu was a little fan of Rousseau, and Mr. Lu Xun was very disgusted with Rousseau's capitalist lackey behavior, so he repeatedly criticized him. The two ended up breaking out, and Mr. Lu Xun commented that they were all lackadaisical lackeys of the capitalists.

2. Why did he scold?

In fact, if you look closely at the people Mr. Lu Xun scolded, you can generally conclude that Mr. Lu Xun did not scold people out of boredom, he just wanted to target some people. Express your views on adverse phenomena. The accusation against Mr. Guo Moruo is because he hopes for equality in marriage and fidelity in marriage.

The accusations against Mr. Liang Shiqiu are more reflected in his resistance to capitalism and his thinking about China's future. As for the accusation against Mr. Hu Shi, it also expressed some slight anarchic tendencies of Lu Xun, which was similar to Mr. Zhang Taiyan in advocating the independent character of scholars.

Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun’s accusation is not simply a curse, but an attempt to awaken society and serve as a benchmark to tell everyone what they can and cannot do. This was particularly important in that chaotic era. Everyone was unclear about China’s future direction and how to choose China’s future social atmosphere. Mr. Lu Xun bravely stood up and competed with various masters. Although he was not necessarily right, it did play a very good role in discussion and reflection.

Moreover, the quarrels between Mr. Lu Xun and various literati back then were actually more likely to inspire ideas, just like the great debate of a hundred schools of thought contending back then. Everyone was thinking about the future direction of the discussion, and the quarrel became a way of thinking. Mr. Lu Xun, because of his bad temper and acting as a fighter, naturally became the target of public criticism at that time.

3. Why don’t you scold these three people?

But there is one thing that many people can’t understand, that is, Mr. Lu Xun criticized all the literati and politicians, why did he let them go? The three most important candidates? These three people are Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai and Chiang Kai-shek. In our minds, these three people should all be sinners. Cixi destroyed China, Yuan Shikai destroyed the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek is the sinner. So why did Mr. Lu Xun’s criticism of current ills stop at them? In fact, there is another reason behind it.

First let’s look at the Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi and Mr. Lu Xun have a certain connection. Mr. Lu Xun's grandfather Zhou Jiefu was released by the Amnesty when the Empress Dowager Cixi returned from hunting in the north. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Cixi promoted Western education and therefore recommended Chinese students to study abroad. Mr. Lu Xun was one of the beneficiaries. Therefore, there is a certain friendship between Cixi and Mr. Lu Xun.

In addition, Mr. Lu Xun also made it clear that everyone scolded the Empress Dowager Cixi. Since she was scolded so miserably, he naturally did not have to go out of his way to stab a dying old man again. Therefore, there is no need to criticize Cixi's attitude. Mr. Lu Xun is a benchmark, not a follower.

Then the attitude towards Yuan Shikai. Mr. Lu Xun's attitude towards Yuan Shikai was complicated. First of all, he highly recognized Yuan Shikai's ability. For example, in 1912, Mr. Lu Xun visited Yuan Shikai. He commented that he was deeply impressed by Yuan Shikai and believed that this man was different from other warlords.

In addition, Yuan Shikai treated intellectuals well and was one of the few capable people who knew how to engage in industry and had the ability to stabilize the political situation. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun believed that Yuan Shikai was much more knowledgeable than later rulers.

But Mr. Lu Xun also resisted Yuan Shikai. As Mr. Lu Xun said in "Killing the Wrong Person", "After the revolution, revolutionaries were massacred, but from Yuan Shikai's point of view, it was a little There was no mistake in killing him, because he was just a fake revolutionary counter-revolutionary." Yuan Shikai was in Xinhai. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun's attitude towards Yuan Shikai was complicated, but although he did not scold him, he still opposed it in the end.

Finally, the attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek. Personally, I think Mr. Lu Xun had a very good attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek, and he never felt that he was a sinner. One is because Chiang had a friendship with Mr. Lu Xun. They were not only fellow villagers, but they also highly appreciated Chiang's revolutionary behavior. In addition, Mr. Lu Xun highly admired Chiang for not surrendering like Wang Jingwei during the Anti-Japanese War, and he had high hopes for Chiang, believing that he was a person who could create an era in the future.

However, later on, Chiang’s rule became more and more dark, and Mr. Lu Xun soon stood against him. But perhaps it was his expectation, so although Mr. Lu Xun opposed him, he did not do it again. Open your mouth. He also proposed that the fight against Chiang should be tough and strategic. Therefore, in the end, Mr. Lu Xun clearly opposed Chiang's attitude, but there was no radical confrontation.

Conclusion

So overall, Mr. Lu Xun is a fighter with the characteristics of the times. He has been a beacon in that confused era, trying to illuminate The road ahead, and he does not hesitate to use himself as the charge, boldly try and contact. During those years, Mr. Lu Xun may not have the highest literary quality, but he is definitely worthy of everyone's admiration.
