A likes to quarrel and fight with others, but he must measure his opponent. He scolded those who were slow-witted and beat those who were weak. I lost the fight with Wang Hu, saying that the gentleman said he wouldn't start work, and the fake foreign devil cried and raised his stick. He has reached out and waited. For little D with weak resistance, he slapped his fist, captured his arm and posed as a challenge, while for little nun with no resistance, he moved his hands and took care of him lightly, which are all manifestations of his cowardly nature. Xu and Lu Xun discussed the national character of China people, and found that the big problem of China people is obedience and moderation, which is probably caused by inertia. Lu Xun answered him; This is not because of inertia, but because of cowardice. "If you meet a strong person who can't resist, you will use the golden mean. If he has the power and others can't help him, he will be cruel and arrogant, just like a tyrant, and he will not be temperate. "
Second, the method of spiritual victory
"Spiritual Victory Law" is generally endowed with the meaning of selfishness, conservatism, inferiority and forgetfulness. In the deep meaning of the so-called sociology, it is called "self-deception", "inferiority" and "slave", even similar to the irony of "openness", "indifference" and "contempt for everything". Therefore, it is widely criticized as a symbol of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. For example, when Ah was injured in a fight with others, he thought to himself, "I was finally beaten by my son. Now the world is really disgraceful, and my son actually beat Laozi. " For another example, he is too poor to marry a wife, but he boasts that "my son will be much richer", just like returning to the resort. Yu-sheng Lin said: "Ah … s spiritual victory method is only his superficial feature, but the more basic feature is his lack of inner self … If we include the factors of the traditional cultural system acquired by society as part of his nature, then Ah can be called an animal that lives and acts almost entirely by instinct." (The Crisis of China's Consciousness-Fierce Anti-traditionalism during the May 4th Movement); Guizhou Publishing House, 65438+ 10). This method of spiritual victory was invented by China people a long time ago, and later failed with other nationalities, so this method was fully utilized. Even now, our Yugoslav ambassador has been bombed by Americans, and the fighter plane was crashed and scrapped by American planes over the South China Sea. Where's China? As long as you howl a few times, Americans will apologize and China people will be satisfied. This is the mark that Alecken left on the people of China.
Third, be good at speculation.
Ben hates revolution. When the general trend of the Revolution of 1911 was shaken to the bud, Grandpa Zhao and his son were braiding to support the revolution. Ah is so jealous that he wants to form a revolutionary party. But the purpose of the revolution is for his own interests, and the significance in the revolution is really unclear. So as soon as the fake foreign devil refused, he wanted to sue him for rebellion in the yamen and let him copy it all. "Suddenly remind of ji's words:" China people are smart people, they all know that although China is finished, they will never suffer; Because everyone has changed into a fit attitude ... this person will win forever and probably exist forever. Only they are the most suitable for living in China, and when they survive, China will never be able to repeat its previous fate. " Being good at speculation seems to be one of China's national vices.
Fourth, exaggeration and self-esteem.
Although Ah is a very humble person, he doesn't care about all the unfinished people. Even grandpa Zhao's son goes to school, Ah doesn't show respect in spirit, thinking that my son will be much richer than him. Plus, I have been to the city several times, and I feel more conceited. "But in order to fry the bighead carp in the city, the method of adding onions and the name of the bench are different from those of Wei Zhuang, and he looks down on the city people." In the past, China people always claimed that their country was a civilized country for thousands of years, with a vast territory and rich natural resources. They are Xuanyuan Huayou, a noble god who regards westerners as barbarians and has no culture at all. And frustrated repeatedly, it is said that westerners rely on nothing more than a solid ship and artillery, all of which are just acousto-optic electrification. Speaking of morality, how can it be one tenth of ours? Even Gu Hongming, who received western education, said that the system of spitting and concubinage in China is a kind of spiritual civilization. This has nothing to do with Ah treating the scar on his head as a symbol of nobility and glory, and others laughed at him and said, "You don't deserve …"?
All kinds of disadvantages have their own place to cultivate and grow. Living in the period when the landlord class and the official class were still dominant in the late Qing Dynasty, he was poor, had no property, no job or even a home, and lived in Tugu Temple. Often attacked by Grandpa Zhao and fake foreign devils, and ridiculed by ordinary people around him, he laughed it off with the "spiritual victory method". Because he suffered a heavy burden in the world, was brutally exploited economically, was poisoned spiritually, and was humiliated in personality, he had a spontaneous revolutionary appeal, hoping to change his current situation through struggle, but because of the poison of feudal thoughts, he also had backward thoughts such as selfishness, Shaanxi, feudalism and conservatism. Spontaneous revolutionary demands and backward ideology are always contradictory in Afghanistan. He is the unity of this contradictory character and the typical and miniature of a backward and unconscious farmer in the old revolutionary period. After understanding Ananda's "spiritual victory method", Ananda left a deep impression on people, as follows:
First, the image of Ah makes people laugh with tears. For the inevitable things in life, such as failure, humiliation and predicament, ordinary normal people will be sad and will continue to struggle; Unforgettable after anger; Try to change the predicament after dissatisfaction. But ah, no. He has his own unique but morbid psychological coping method, which is the "spiritual victory method". And Ah's "spiritual victory method" is the reason why Ah makes people laugh and cry.
Second, A's image is both sympathetic and hateful. Sadly, A's life is a miserable life, full of humiliation and poverty, and he is constantly scolded and beaten by hunger. In the eyes of Zhuang people, he is not a complete person at all, but a joke of people after dinner. Ah, I've lost my personality and dignity. If you can't be surnamed Zhao, you will be beaten. He has nothing: he has no place to live and no place to stand. He can only live in Tugu Temple and make a living by doing odd jobs. His wife and children are wishful thinking, and these are the lowest and most fundamental needs of a person! But in that society, this can only be an Afghan dream. This makes ayufa unlike human beings. In the end, Ah was killed in vain and ended his short and unfortunate life by manslaughter. These are undoubtedly deeply sympathetic. But at the same time, Ah is hateful: he has many bad habits: gambling, drinking, stealing, cheating, and even playing hooligans and flirting with women.
Third, A's image is the epitome of backward and unconscious farmers before and after the Revolution of 1911. This point will be elaborated later.
In a word, A is an unforgettable image of a peasant who was unconscious and humiliated before and after the Revolution of 1911.
Now, from the development of content and plot, as well as writing skills, this paper discusses Ah's spiritual victory method: the novel revolves around Ah's "unfolding" closely, taking Ah's activities as the only clue from beginning to end, unfolding the story and writing Ah's short and sad life.
The second chapter traces back to the source and describes Ah Q's personality characteristics: spiritual victory method. Describing a part of Ah's life highlights his arrogance and self-deception. Explain the current economic situation in Afghanistan. Tramps and farm workers who do short-term jobs everywhere are the lowest-level insulted and insulted people in society. Then write four paragraphs of his life in a row. He is too poor to marry a wife, but he boasts that "my son will have a lot of money"; Never worship Zhao and money spiritually, have been to the city several times, and laugh at Wei Zhuang people's "ignorance of the world", all of which highlight Ah's arrogance. The story of Scar tells that when he was bullied, he looked down on himself from hitting people to glaring. The "gambling card" incident is about his self-destruction for spiritual victory after being bullied. The above is one of the components of the spiritual victory law. The third chapter, following the plot of the first chapter, continues to write Ah's spiritual victory method. After being beaten by Zhao's great-grandfather, Ah was "proud for many years" because China people have never been like this. They worship and take everyone for granted. The author vividly shows the very sad abnormal servility of people at that time. This chapter has written three life fragments. I didn't expect to be defeated by Wang Hu, which was "the first humiliation in life"; It was "the second humiliation in my life" to get a "crying stick" from a fake foreign devil; Dally with the little nun and avenge him. Three clips, depicting the character of fear and bullying; Ugly compared with Wang Hu, it shows that he is bored to the extreme; Hate fake foreign devils, indicating that he refuses heresy; "Tighten your muscles quickly" waiting to be beaten, showing full servility; Flirting with a nun shows the dirty soul of Ah's attitude towards women.

The fourth chapter, describing Ah's botched courtship and sad results, continues to show Ah's position and situation. In the narrative, the author attributed Ananda's eternal pride to "China's spiritual civilization is the highest in the world" and pointed out that his thoughts were influenced by feudal cultural thoughts, which was the ideological root of Ananda's strict adherence to "the debate between men and women" and rejection of heresy. The emphasis on Ah's "everything is in line with the Bible sage biography" and his fear of finding a woman is "unfilial and great", which shows that Ah is full of feudal ideology and morality. And he twisted a woman's thigh, said "words of regret", "throwing small stones" and paid attention to "women who seduced wild men", which shows that his previous ideas were hypocritical and disgusting. Ah, who is nearly 30 years old, pleaded for justice, but his request has violated feudal ethics, so he was beaten by Zhao Taiye and his son. Not only was he beaten, but even his poor possessions were squeezed clean and broke off. In this chapter, I wrote about the abomination of Ah, his pity and the cruelty of the ruler. At this point, the plot developed further.
The fifth chapter, write A desperate, expose the true face of the numb nation "cannibalism", and then write A afraid of bullying. "Love" turned into a "tragedy", and then Ah encountered a "livelihood problem". This chapter has written three life fragments. Ah felt that "something unexpected happened in the sky", so he was rejected from work by regular customers and realized that his life was cut off. But he didn't realize that it was Grandpa Zhao and others who cut off his posterior approach, but mistakenly thought that D, who was weaker than him, "robbed his job" and "Long Hudou" happened. This not only shows Ah's overbearing character, but also shows that Ah's unconsciousness has reached an incredible level. It is inevitable that A, who has nowhere to go, will close the door and steal radishes. He regards young nuns as dirt and old nuns as hooligans, which is also a manifestation of his fear of bullying. His own disappointment and ignorance, as well as that of the ruling class, will inevitably lead him to steal.
The sixth chapter describes the process from despair to a brief "resurgence", and then to being cornered by Grandpa Zhao. After returning to Wei Zhuang from the city, Ah was "in awe" of people, but because he helped the Bai family in the city, he had cash and some bargains in his hand and knew something about the situation in the city. As a result, shopkeepers, drinkers and passers-by are all "impressed" with Ah, while Wang Hu and others are "awed" with Ah, and women no longer avoid Ah with bad records, but take the initiative to take things from him. All this profoundly reveals the essence of national snobbery. But when the details of Ah were revealed, people changed from "staying away from him" to "I'm not afraid of him enough", which further illustrated the coldness of the world and people's ignorance. People can't help asking, can't such a national be reformed? Ah, despair again is inevitable. In theory, besides this spiritual victory method, there are other manifestations of ignorance. For example, his contempt for women with strong traditional colors, such as his bad habit of venting anger on the weak, being beaten by fake foreign devils, but flirting with young nuns, and so on. If the novel's concentrated description of A's spiritual victory method has proved that Lu Xun is using A 'lai to portray the soul of China people, then these other forms of mental illness in A further prove that Lu Xun has indeed completed his creative intention and written A as a typical mental illness of the whole nation. His mental state is very representative. All kinds of slave consciousness inherited from China's history and many abnormal psychology accompanied by semi-colonial society in modern times have been vividly demonstrated in Afghanistan. No wonder when The True Story of Ah Q was published, many people in the society were nervous and thought that Lu Xun was satirizing him. This strong reaction confirms the reason for the success of the novel from one side. It is precisely because Lu Xun has outlined the morbid soul of China people so profoundly that the true story of Ah Q can still strongly shock readers as long as this morbid state is not eradicated.
Lu Xun wrote, of course, to describe the mental illness of this nation. His description of Ah He and the whole unfinished village before and after the Revolution of 1911 gave another meaning to the changes of unfinished villages and Ah's experience, that is, to show the actual situation of the Revolution of 1911 in a general way. Although this is not the main value of the novel, in the literary world at that time, no one could describe the harsh truth of the Revolution of 1911 with such thorough brushwork. Therefore, this part of Ah's true story is still of considerable value.
Now let's look at Ah's character from the whole process of participating in the revolution.
Ah's revolutionary appeal is vague and elegant, which on the one hand reflects his desire to change his humiliating position, on the other hand, it is also mixed with many backward consciousness and selfish thoughts, and his revolution has even reached a serious point of not distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves. A confused and backward thought doomed his failure to "surrender to the revolutionary party".
However, Albania's participation in the revolution objectively revealed the historical lessons of the Revolution of 1911, and raised the important issue of the importance of enlightening peasants in the China Revolution. The moral concept of the feudal ruling class made Albania misunderstand the revolution; The humiliating position and tragic situation can't help but make Afghanistan instinctively incline to the revolution. Speaking of it, the seemingly disgraceful "stealing children" behavior is actually Ah's first action! When Ah found that the revolution frightened the master and men and women, he was deeply "gratified", so he was "fascinated" by the revolution and decided that "the revolution is fine, and it is disgusting to change the lives of these mothers!" How hateful! ..... even I have to surrender to the revolutionary party. "
The seventh chapter describes the attitudes of all classes towards the revolution when the Revolution of 1911 came, highlighting Albania's revolutionary demands. Speculation about the "revolution": When Afghanistan was pushed to the end again, the storm of the Revolution of 1911 came. The "Master Juren" in the city regards the revolution as a scourge, and he is ready to escape. Wei Zhuang's "one bird, one man and one woman" was terrified and misinformed that the revolutionary army was an army to avenge Chongzhen. Azeri is the most representative. Because of his deep conservative psychology, he was skeptical and negative about all new things, so he "hated" the revolution from the beginning. However, starting from his own situation and feelings, he felt that "the revolution is good" and produced the requirement that "even I have to surrender to the revolutionary party", so he shouted "stop it, stop it" and expressed his revolutionary desire. But what is his understanding of the essence of revolution? "You are what you think and who you like." How can such a revolution succeed? Through the description of the image, the novel reflects the root of the failure of the Revolution of 1911 from one side. Looking at the other side, Uncle Zhao and his son cried out "Old Man" who had been ignored when the revolution came. At this time, Grandpa Zhao and Ah Gang changed places. However, the younger generation is full of tricks. Zhao Xiucai actually revolted with a fake foreign devil, took a dragon brand away from the retreat and stole a Xuande furnace. This was a very common pseudo-revolutionary phenomenon at that time.
The eighth chapter describes the changes brought by the Revolution of 1911 to Wei Zhuang, and further depicts Ah's character. The revolution swept like a gust of wind, but it did not reach the village, and people's hearts became more and more stable. Fall into the hands of speculators. The biggest change is just the wave of editing. Zhao Xiucai and fake foreign devils have become revolutionary parties wearing "silver peaches", and the unfinished business is still in the hands of these former entrepreneurs. A wanted to vote for the revolutionary party, but as a result, he failed to vote for the fake foreign devil by mistake and was driven out by the "crying stick". He was deprived of the right to revolution. At the same time, the Zhao family was robbed, which indicates that Ah's tragic fate is coming. The looting of the Zhao family made people in Wei Zhuang and A Qiu very "happy", which reflected people's dissatisfaction with the rulers. A was arrested as a robbery suspect. Who reported him? Zhao Xiucai, who calls himself a revolutionary party and wears a "silver peach". It is Zhao Xiucai and others, but Zhao Xiucai is not allowed to revolutionize Afghanistan. It was this "revolutionary party" wearing a "silver peach" that finally arrested him, tried him and executed him. I asked for a revolution, but I failed. After the revolution, he was shot, and he became a victim of the revolution (in Chapter 9, Ah was arrested, tried and executed as a scapegoat. )。 Sadly, he didn't know why he was shot to death, but before he died, he performed his final spiritual victory method: "Twenty years later, another one ..." In this chapter, it was also mentioned that the city is still the same, the people in power are still the same, Juren still pursues the old rent, still parades the streets, still looks like a cloud, but the kneeling of interrogation is changed to standing, and the beheading of execution is changed to shooting. This novel shows that after the Revolution of 1911, China society was still in complete darkness. China people are still so numb after the Revolution of 1911.
As mentioned above, the whole process of A's participation in the revolution vividly illustrates the relationship between the Revolution of 1911 and farmers: the revolution does not care about farmers, and farmers do not understand the revolution. Although farmers like A have the requirements of spontaneous revolution, before the revolutionary party went deep into the countryside, they could only understand the revolution with this selfish and backward thought, and they could only be dominated by the "spiritual victory law" without being conscious. It is precisely because of the "spiritual victory law" that A Cai can't rise from humiliation and survive in failure. He always comforts himself with imaginary victory to cover up humiliation and failure. As a result, the fruits of the revolution were stolen by the landlord class, which was good at preserving itself in complex struggles. Afghanistan, which truly welcomed the revolution, inevitably suffered a tragic ending.
In a word, it is not difficult to see that Afghanistan's social status determines its requirements and possibilities for revolution, but its status determines its limitations. It objectively reveals the historical lessons of the Revolution of 1911.
This paper discusses the author's writing intention: there are two main intentions: one is to "draw the soul of the silent" and "expose the weakness of the people" to let readers know the terrible ignorance caused by feudal rule to "attract the attention of treatment"; The second is to summarize the lessons of the failure of the Revolution of 1911 and criticize its compromise and incompleteness. This typical figure reminds everyone that any revolution in China must pay attention to solving the problem of hundreds of millions of poor peasants. In this way, we can deeply understand the author's instinct to write about Albania's revolutionary tendency, and clearly remind revolutionaries that the broad masses of peasants have revolutionary demands and should never turn a blind eye to this force. To sum up, this novel shows Lu Xun's views on the Revolution of 1911, and embodies Lu Xun's sober realistic spirit and ardent patriotic feelings.
In 2 1 century, "one spirit" did not disappear, but kept pace with the times. It can be said that today's "one spirit" has also become a part of our national spirit. We can't say that everyone is a spirit, but everyone may have had a "spirit". In some cases, "one spirit" can play a positive role in reducing psychological pressure and maintaining psychological balance. For example, when Ah was beaten by others, he said to himself, "My son beat Lao Zi". His anger was vented and his thoughts were balanced, so he no longer felt pain. If he doesn't scold that, but keeps his anger in his heart, he will get sick sooner or later. I think if Ah doesn't "make a revolution", he will certainly live a long life.
Let's think it over. In fact, the "Arab spirit" is not a patent of China, but also exists abroad. I heard that, for example, American President Lincoln once humiliated Lincoln in public. When he came home, he was so angry that he couldn't eat any food. So he spread out his stationery, wrote a long letter to the congressman, cursed him in very sharp language, and went to bed happily. The next morning, Lincoln's men tried to post the letter for him, but he tore it up. Men don't understand, Lincoln explained with a smile. "I lost my temper in the process of writing a letter. Why should I send it? " Isn't this a typical "spirit"? The president of the United States is like this, and the people are no exception. A citizen named John received a phone call from a strange woman late at night. The woman said to him, "The husband has an affair, is inconsiderate of her, and often stays out all night. She felt very distressed. John asked, "why don't you divorce him?" The woman replied, "I hate to leave him." I hope he will change his mind. " "Then why did you tell me? I don't know you. " "I just want people I don't know to listen to me, and acquaintances will be in trouble. I feel comfortable when I finish. "Therefore, in recent years," complaining "has arisen in the United States, giving those" Americans "who have nowhere to talk about their difficulties a place to vent their feelings. It is said that "Complaining" has a prosperous business and made a lot of dollars.
Another example is the Japanese, who are not only in the leading position in science and technology in the world, but also have new tricks in using the "Arab spirit". The "one spirit" mentioned above is only used to eliminate anger and achieve psychological balance, while the Japanese are better. They "turn waste into treasure" and use "one spirit" to promote production and improve work efficiency, which makes other countries lag behind. People of insight in Japan have realized that in complex interpersonal communication, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions between superiors and subordinates, such as factory workers and factory directors, office staff and chairman. Sometimes, when subordinates are angry with their superiors, they only dare to speak out and feel depressed. If "repression" is not released in time, it will have a negative impact, even a destructive impact, which is not conducive to work or production and intensifies the contradiction between superiors and subordinates. So, the shrewd factory director and chairman came up with a brilliant idea: make their own image into a rubber mold, with the same five senses as themselves, and put the mold in a "ventilation room" Any worker or employee who has no place to vent his anger can go to the "vent room" to punch and kick your boss's mold and denounce it loudly, and all your grievances and anger will erupt. Breathless, psychological balance, work efficiency naturally improved. A factory has done statistics: since the establishment of the "air outlet room", the production efficiency of the factory has increased by 7.9% compared with the original one, which has really benefited a lot.
For this reason, we come to the conclusion that in the new era, "one spirit" is not all bad, but scientific. For people who are out of control, it is a good medicine, so that they can get self-comfort and self-liberation, and they will not lose their minds because of psychological pressure, such as hitting people, smashing things or even killing people, setting fire or committing suicide. Nowadays, "One Spirit" has stepped out of China's border, and has become an "internationally accepted" auxiliary means to treat mental illness, playing an increasingly important role in treating human psychological imbalance. We can't have it all to ourselves anymore. We should make good use of "one spirit", a valuable "state-owned asset", so that it can give full play to its potential in treating mental illness and improving our physical quality.
The True Story of Ah Q is the most famous novel of Mr. Lu Xun, which portrays an image of Ah Q who lives at the bottom of society and is selfish, ignorant, feudal, conservative, self-abased, deceives himself, bullies the weak, and forgets the enemy.
What kind of person is A in the real story?
Two examples are provided for reference:
First of all, read the true story of A-the specific image of A (Snow Lotus).
After reading True Story, A-bian left a deep impression in my mind. Generally speaking, A's image is an image that makes people laugh and cry, which is both sympathetic and hateful. At the same time, it is also the epitome of trapped, backward and unconscious farmers before and after the Revolution of 1911. Details are as follows:
First, the image of Ah makes people laugh with tears. For the inevitable things in life, such as failure, humiliation and predicament, ordinary normal people will be sad and will continue to struggle; Unforgettable after anger; Try to change the predicament after dissatisfaction. But ah, no. He has his own unique but morbid psychological coping method, which is the "spiritual victory method". And Ah's "spiritual victory method" is the reason why Ah makes people laugh and cry. Let's take a look at what Ah's "spiritual victory law" is: it includes blind arrogance, self-contempt, self-deception, bullying, malin forgetfulness and so on. It is the spirit, the concrete summary of China's bad habits, and the product of the whole feudal culture. Now let's take a look at how to explain the "spiritual victory law" concretely and vividly with practical actions. As the article said, "Ah is very self-respecting. All the residents who have never lived in the village are not in his eyes ... He thinks: My son will have a lot of money! After coming to the city several times, Ah naturally became more conceited. " This is the performance of blind arrogance. How funny! A short-time worker who doesn't even have a wife thinks that he will have a son in the future, more money than their unmarried grandfathers Zhao and Qian. When Ah was frightened, he thought he was a "bug" in order to avoid the pain of his flesh, so he was so self-contemptuous, how could he not feel sorry for him! There is also that when being beaten by others, Ah often holds "my son beat Lao Zi", and even after the money won by gambling was taken away, he thought he had beaten others, so his anger disappeared and he fell asleep peacefully. A bullied D, weaker than him, was afraid to fight back or even run away when his eldest son cut a hole in his head with a stick. Wu Ma was scared to cry and make trouble because she proposed to her, but Ah turned around and forgot, and even went to watch the fun ... All the actions of "spiritual victory law" made people feel sad and angry after laughing, and then fell into deep thought. It can be said that "spiritual victory method" is Ah's spiritual weakness and his main feature.
Second, A's image is both sympathetic and hateful. Sadly, A's life is a miserable life, full of humiliation and poverty, and he is constantly scolded and beaten by hunger. In the eyes of Zhuang people, he is not a complete person at all, but a joke of people after dinner. Ah, I've lost my personality and dignity. If you can't be surnamed Zhao, you will be beaten. He has nothing: he has no place to live and no place to stand. He can only live in Tugu Temple and make a living by doing odd jobs. His wife and children are wishful thinking, and these are the lowest and most fundamental needs of a person! But in that society, this can only be an Afghan dream. This makes ayufa unlike human beings. In the end, Ah was killed in vain, ending his short and unfortunate life by manslaughter. These are undoubtedly deeply sympathetic. But at the same time, Ah is hateful: he has many bad habits: gambling, drinking, stealing, cheating, and even playing hooligans and flirting with women.
Third, A's image is the epitome of backward and unconscious farmers before and after the Revolution of 1911. The reason why A Bei is said is not only because he has been exploited economically by Grandpa Zhao and other powerful people, but also because he is not allowed to be surnamed Zhao, not allowed to fall in love and not allowed to engage in revolution. Everyone has the right to have a "surname", but in fact, the surname is vague and can't be as he wishes, otherwise he will be beaten, and it is true that he was beaten by Uncle Zhao because of his surname. This is an incredible and irritating phenomenon. And love is a person's physical and emotional needs, but also everyone's, but for Afghanistan, "love" is also a luxury, out of reach. It can be seen how deep that society is for such people! When Ah came back from the city, he spat and danced to describe the scene where he saw the revolutionaries killed. I don't know: what are these revolutionaries pursuing? Isn't it just to relieve the suffering of these people? Don't you want people like Afghanistan to live a normal and happy life in the old evil society? Not only that, he was also happy to see the revolutionaries killed, and as a unique news, it became the capital he boasted everywhere. How numb and unconscious it is!
In a word, A is an unforgettable image of a peasant who was unconscious and humiliated before and after the Revolution of 1911.
Through vivid plots, The True Story of the Imam has successfully created a number of artistic images, especially the Imam, who is vivid, vivid and distinctive, and contains profound social and historical content, and has become an immortal artistic model.
In the 1980s, scholar Lin Xingzhai summed up ten aspects of A's personality: simplicity, ignorance and smooth rogue; Honesty, willfulness and orthodoxy; Self-esteem and inferiority; Competitive, humiliating submission; Narrow-minded, conservative, blindly following the fashion; Reject heresy and yearn for revolution; Aversion to power, attachment to situation; Overbearing and cowardly; Sensitive taboos are numb and forgetful; Dissatisfied with the status quo, content with the status quo (see "On Afghanistan's Personality System" in Related Materials). This comprehensively summarizes the complex personality characteristics of Albanian contradictions.
