Once a person is enlightened, he will become silent, not because he has no ability to get along with others, but because he has no interest in taking part in accidental amusement. This sentence means that when people truly understand the true meaning of life, they will become more restrained and calm, rather than losing their ability to get along with others. Their silence is not because they lack the ability to communicate with others, but because they have seen through the hypocrisy and boredom of social scenes and are no longer willing to waste time and energy to cater to others.
In Lu Xun's view, people often have to participate in various social activities for various reasons in society. However, if a person really understands the true meaning of life, he will find that most of these social activities are meaningless and even hypocritical and boring. They will choose to remain silent and stop wasting time and energy to cater to others.
Lu Xun's works:
1, Scream is Lu Xun's first collection of short stories, which truly and profoundly describes the social life from the Revolution of 1911 to the May 4th Movement. By portraying various types of characters, Lu Xun exposed the people's bad habits and expressed his profound criticism of the old society. This work embodies Lu Xun's realistic spirit in literary creation and his reflection on traditional culture.
2. Wandering is Lu Xun's second collection of short stories, which mainly reflects the social problems and contradictions in China after the May 4th Movement. This work shows the absurdity and darkness of the society at that time by describing the images of intellectuals and farmers. Through this work, Lu Xun further revealed profound social problems and made a deeper reflection on China's traditional culture.
3. New Stories is the third collection of short stories by Lu Xun. Based on history, it shows Lu Xun's unique creative style and concept through the adaptation and reconstruction of ancient stories. This work not only has a strong irony, but also expresses Lu Xun's profound thinking on history, culture and social reality.
