Lu Xun wrote in the article "What happened after Nora left the grave": "The masses, especially those in China, will always be spectators of the drama. Sacrifice to play, if they appear generous, they watch tragic drama; If they were still in infancy, they would watch the farce. In front of the mutton shop in Beijing, there are often several people watching the sheep skinning with their mouths open, as if they were quite happy. People's sacrifice can give them benefits, but that's all.

And after a few steps, they are not happy, and forget it. This kind of people can't help it. Letting them have no drama is the fundamental solution. It is better to fight with deep tenacity than to make sacrifices at the moment of shock.

Lu Xun's preface to Scream: "No matter how healthy and strong the weak citizens are, they can only be meaningless propaganda materials and spectators. They don't have to think that they died unfortunately."

The reason for looking at visitors in detail is the timidity of autocratic oppression and the lack of humanistic education. It is difficult for civilians to drive away their curiosity by practicing a magical skill that has nothing to do with them. China's 5,000-year history and culture are endless, but the history and culture of spectators are not. As Lin Yutang said, before Qin and Han Dynasties, China people were bloody, upright and generous.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people were magnanimous and upright, and those who struggled for survival were out of date. However, since the Five Dynasties, Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties has destroyed human nature, sauce jar society and human nature, and hypocrisy is the world trend; What's more, Yuan and Qing were alien, autocratic and abnormal. In order to survive and benefit, traitors emerged in large numbers, and the spectator culture also developed and became the main national character.
