Lu Xun's View of "Genius"
The main purpose of Lu Xun's speech is to hope that the people and the cultivators of "genius" (compare "genius" to "flower" and this "cultivator" is "soil") will do their best to cultivate and care for "genius" with perseverance.

His basic view is that without good soil, it is impossible to cultivate good flowers. What should this good soil look like? He believes that: first of all, don't indoctrinate young people with too many old ideas and traditions. In short, it is good to "break away from the old routine"; Secondly, encourage young people to boldly absorb new knowledge and new ideas, that is, "expand the spirit" and "integrate into new fashions"; Another point, which is also very important, is to care for young people, don't be afraid of their naivety, don't accuse them of ignorance, and don't attack or even stifle them at will. Lu Xun said: "even a genius is just an ordinary child when he hears the first cry of his birth ... because he is naive, he can die if he is beaten into a thief."
