——Lu Xun

The story behind it

When it was finally possible to exchange for cash at a discount, "I went to exchange for cash, and it fell heavily into my arms, as if it was the weight of my life.", "But I stuffed it into my arms like a bag of cash. I feel relieved and like it, but suddenly I have another thought, which is: it is very easy for us to become slaves, and after we change, we still like it very much. ”

All stupid and weak citizens, no matter how healthy their bodies are and how strong they are, only People who can serve as materials and spectators for meaningless publicity should not be considered unfortunate even if they die from illness or disease.

——Lu Xun

The story behind it

In 1902, Lu Xun traveled to Japan and studied Japanese in Tokyo. From 1904 to 1906, he studied medicine in Sendai, Japan. In class, the teacher showed a video of current affairs at that time. The picture showed a Chinese being exploited by others, and the Chinese people around him who were indifferent and happy to watch the fun.

Mr. Lu Xun was heartbroken: "All stupid and weak citizens, no matter how healthy and strong they are, can only serve as meaningless publicity materials and spectators. No matter how many people die from illness, they should not be considered unfortunate."

”

It seems that medicine is not an urgent matter. If the Chinese people cannot awaken their minds, no matter how strong their bodies are, they will be captured and beheaded by the imperialists? Will they only become publicity materials? And numb spectators?

Not long after, Lu Xun left Sendai and returned to Tokyo, where he organized a literary magazine with like-minded friends and began literary creation.

I did not give up that time. Without this great writer, there would be no new life for Chinese culture.

The story behind it

Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian master of the generation, put forward important Confucian theories such as the induction of heaven and man, the three cardinal guides and the five constant principles.

I have been talented since childhood. I loved studying when I was young, and I often forgot to eat and sleep when I was reading. His father, Dong Taigong, was worried that he would be too addicted to studying, so he sent someone to build a back garden for him to use for leisure.

The garden started construction in the first year. The sun was shining brightly inside, and my sister invited Dong Zhongshu to play in the garden many times. Holding the bamboo slips in his hand, he just shook his head and continued to read the bamboo slips, study Confucius's "Spring and Autumn", and memorize the Book of Songs assigned by his teacher.

The following year, a rockery was built in the small garden. The children of neighbors and relatives climbed to the rockery to play. When his friends called him, he kept his head down and wrote poems on the bamboo slips without even raising his head.

In the third year, the back garden was built. Relatives and friends came to see the garden with their children and they all praised the Dong family’s garden for its exquisiteness. When his parents asked Zhong Shu to play, he just nodded and continued to study. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Zhongshu's family ate moon cakes and admired the moon in the garden, but Dong Zhongshu was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Dong Zhongshu took advantage of his family to enjoy the moon and went to discuss poetry with his husband.
