As a great thinker, revolutionist and writer, an important experience of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. Lu Xun struggled for time all his life. He said: "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, it will always be there." Time is fair to everyone. Where there is a will, there is a way. If a diligent person is good at earning and squeezing, there will be; Relatives, slackers, don't earn or squeeze, they don't exist. Lu Xun is a diligent person, good at squeezing time and controlling time. He was ill all his life and had poor working and living conditions, but he worked late into the night every day. When I got up the next day, sometimes I didn't even eat rice and started working again. He won't leave his studio until dinner. He was really sleepy, so he took a nap in bed with his clothes.
Lu Xun is used to urging himself to cherish time in various forms. In Lu Xun's bedroom, there are couplets hanging on the wall to encourage him to cherish time and the people he admires most. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Americans say that time is money, but I think time is life." It is tantamount to killing people for money. "
An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was twelve years old in a private school in Shaoxing City, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often goes to pawn shops and pharmacies, but also helps his mother with housework. In order not to affect his study, he must make accurate time arrangements.
Since then, Lu Xun has been squeezing time almost every day. He said: Lu Xun has a wide range of reading interests, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he has a wide range of knowledge and studies in many ways that time is very important to him. He has been ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment are not good, but he will not give up until late at night every day.
In Lu Xun's eyes, time is like life. Few people. In the literary world of modern China, Lu Xun is undoubtedly a monster. No matter then or now, most people have a natural awe of him. However, as long as you know more, you will find that he is actually a mortal, even a "layman", that is, an ordinary person like you and me. Recently, I listened to Mr. Kong's program about Lu Xun, and my feeling was even stronger.
Lu Xun's commonness is first manifested in his works. We just need to look at his little people. Runtu, Ah Q, Kong Yiji, Sister Xianglin ... are all so humble, but so kind. Mr. Lu Xun, on the other hand, never condescends, never pretends to be an "elite", always puts himself on an equal footing with these little people and places deep sympathy and understanding on them. Every time I read these little people in his works, I seem to touch a kind and warm heart. I have always thought that from the literary point of view, the most essence and humanistic value of Lu Xun's works are not his essays, nor his poems and essays, but his novels with little people as the main description objects.
Different from other writers, Lu Xun is a master of writing essays after all, so when writing those little people, he is often a little more profound and cold. What impressed me most was his novel Lonely Man. He deeply exposed the ugliness of society and human nature by telling the tragedy of a small clerk who fought against feudal secularism but was eventually swallowed up by it. No one goes to the park in winter by Shu Lian, the hero, and the lifelong career of their father and son is to drive away the female workers who live in my house. His sympathy makes me unforgettable, and his coldness makes me shudder! It is one of the most classic literary languages I have ever heard. It will never be forgotten.
Lu Xun's ordinary life is also reflected in his life. Perhaps many people can't imagine that he is still a very "caring" person economically. I have read his diary, most of which are trivial matters of life, all in the form of "running account" For example, I received a sum of money the day before yesterday, bought something yesterday, and who borrowed a book today. And he is even more careless about the manuscript fees paid to him by newspapers and magazines that publish his articles. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the ruler at that time, he did not refuse to work in an official institution. The reason is simple: because of generous treatment, you can get a lot of money.
But if we think that Mr. Lu Xun is not so noble, it is wrong. His theory is that people should live in the world before they can help others and pursue your ideals and ambitions. In other words, you must have a job first, and then you can talk about other things. In order to survive and try to live comfortably, then we must make some compromises in the face of reality and do something that we may not like very much but can keep ourselves alive. This is the other side of Lu Xun's philosophy of life. His attitude towards things is very dialectical, which can even be said to be a kind of life wisdom. This is not only true at that time, but also today, and it also has strong practical significance.
By extension, with Lu Xun's thinking of separating rice bowls from ideals, we can also separate many things, such as love and marriage, emotion and reason, thought and action, and taste both refined and popular.
There are many examples of Lu Xun bowing to life and reality. For example, his first wife was not Xu Guangping, but a fellow villager who was instructed by his parents to be a matchmaker. Although he doesn't like it, he has to do it in order not to make his parents angry. So when he got married, people asked him what he had done in his hometown. His answer is: "Mother marries a daughter-in-law"-helpless and wise! Another classic Luxun-style black humor.
In addition, there is his brother's grievances, which is well known. Zhou Zuoren, who is also a master of China's literary world, is his younger brother, but the two brothers turned against each other for some reasons that are still unknown to the world, and they never met again until their death! Some people may wonder: how can people who are so excellent become enemies for family conflicts? Isn't it incredible? In fact, everyone has forgotten that although Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren are great writers, they are human beings first. Since you are a human being, you have worldly desires, you have grievances, and you can't stand it. I think it's true, it's like a person.
Besides "mother marries daughter-in-law" and his brother hates the rich, Lu Xun also likes to laugh at himself, complain and write doggerel, which embodies his ordinary essence everywhere. Read his poem "Self-mockery": "What do you want from the canopy? Dare not turn over, met. A broken hat covers the downtown, and a leaky boat carries wine. Fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers, Head-bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children. Hiding in the small building was unified, and Xia Chunqiu took care of him in winter. " Fighting spirit is not very high, is it?
Read his doggerel Song of Good Things again: "There are all-day meetings in the south and sudden smoke in the north. Northerners are fleeing from the south, and people are shouting and petitioning for electricity. And if you scold me, I will scold you and make myself as sweet as honey. Wen's smile is fake, Wu's smile is treacherous. We lost our land in mutual abuse, donated copper coins in mutual abuse, lost our land and donated money, and the shouting and swearing became silent. Wen toothache, Wu went to the hot spring. Later, I knew that no one was Yue Fei or Qin Gui, and I declared that I misunderstood my doubts. Everyone is a good thing, and finally get together and smoke cigars. " Of course, such a doggerel can't be elegant, and it won't last forever, but it was actually written by Lu Xun.
After reading these, don't you think Lu Xun is cuter?
But what can best express Lu Xun's ordinary people and normal heart is undoubtedly those two well-known poems: "Ruthlessness may not be a real hero, how can Reiko Kobayakawa not be a husband?" ?
This is Lu Xun's feelings, although not necessarily "great", but absolutely true. This is my feeling after listening to Lu Xun.
