To tell the truth, I have only seen Diary of a Madman once, and it didn't leave a deep impression on me at that time. In high school, a female classmate watched Diary of a Madman. I asked her how she felt, and she said, "It's beautiful!" But I think she's just a classic, and that's not what she said in her heart.

In my opinion, Diary of a Madman is just a slogan article with a fighting nature. Its purpose is to accuse the feudal society of suppressing human nature, expose its hypocritical nature, and arouse people's simplest judgment of good and evil. Therefore, its words are soaring, passionate and inflammatory. For people at that time, people were certainly excited to see such an article, but it was only among a few intellectuals, and for most citizens, they didn't even know fucking words, let alone read the article. Even if you read it to them, they will ask, what our ancestors did for thousands of years is wrong?

Times have changed, and now few people watch Diary of a Madman. It is estimated that only those researchers in the history of literature. This shows that Diary of a Madman is only a battle prose that conforms to the times. Times have changed, and it is no longer interesting to read it, because its usefulness has been exhausted. Who will take the time to read an old article in the old paper pile!

Some people say Diary of a Madman is humorous. I really don't see how humorous it is, just exaggerating the words. How many listeners can feel comfortable with that elegant dry smile! Some people say that Diary of a Madman is profound. Frankly speaking, all the ideas it preaches are the common sense of intellectuals, especially in the west. Darwin's "natural selection, survival of the fittest" has been rampant for a long time and has gained the upper hand in the field of western social sciences. As for the artistic level of A Madman's Diary, an article with no substantive content, the more fancy it is, the more like an old lady. Of course, I'm not denying the historical value of Diary of a Madman, or the positive significance it once played, just don't flatter it too much.

The May 4th Movement, which was in full swing in those years, was so sacred and youthful when I learned about it in a history textbook. Whenever this movement is mentioned, people always forget to mention Diary of a Madman, which is the first vernacular novel in the history of China literature and a blockbuster in the New Culture Movement. At that time, I saw the name of this novel in the history books. I imagined that it must be profound, wonderful and lasting. But a few years later, when I really approached it, my heart broke all over the floor. What the fuck is this?
