“Although the so-called reminiscences can make people happy, sometimes they can also make people lonely.”

These are the words in the preface of "The Scream". Mr. Lu Xun was probably recalling them when he wrote them. Going back, I am also thinking about the future. In most cases, people prefer to add the word "beautiful" before the word "memory". But memories themselves are accompanied by happiness and pain. For literati, it is common to miss the past and regret the present. Everything that has passed away can never come back. Shouldn't it be a little sad? Although I am sad, I still feel sad that I cannot completely forget it. For ordinary people, memories are those things that remain fresh after being washed over the years. Fragmented memory points are pieced together into pictures that once made them happy or sad. Memories themselves may be something ups and downs, just like life.

Suppose there is an iron house, which has no windows and is indestructible. There are many sleeping people inside. They will soon be suffocated to death. However, they will pass from sleep to death without feeling that they are dying. sorrow. Now you are shouting loudly, alarming a few people who are more sober, and causing these unfortunate few to suffer irreparable death pain. Do you think you are worthy of them? "

"However, now that a few people are up, you can't say that there is no hope of destroying this iron house. "

This is the dialogue that originated from "Diary of a Madman". When he first wrote "Diary of a Madman", Lu Xun was half-hearted and finished the article in a perfunctory manner. But those stories are probably the cry of many years. The metaphor of the iron house is very It is relevant and has reflective significance for both individuals and society. Maybe most people live in this "iron house", and the house is "unbreakable". Some people may be awake and feel the sorrow of death. Few people wake up, but they can only feel the pain of death.

"Yes, although I have my conviction, I cannot deny my hope, because hope lies in the future and cannot be used in the future. The proof that I don't have it convinced her that it does exist. ”

Perhaps Lu Xun was already convinced that the iron house was extremely difficult to destroy, but when it came to hope, he was unwilling to deny it. As far as modern times are concerned, everyone feels more or less confused about the subject of the future and cannot see the hard work. It is common for hope and hard work to be unrewarded. Therefore, the "mourning culture" has become popular, and we are unwilling to fight for the hopeless and boundless future. But hope can only exist if we believe in it. , just like the saying in Buddhism, "If you believe, there will be. If you don't believe, there will be nothing." ”
