Luo Jinan asked what would happen if Lu Xun was alive", and the chairman said frankly: There are two endings
In May 1942, a literary symposium was held in Yan'an, which was co-chaired by *** and Kaifeng. The original intention of this symposium was to encourage literary and artistic workers to create more revolutionary literary and artistic works and contribute to the revolutionary cause.
** At the symposium, it was mentioned that literary and art workers should learn from Lu Xun's Xi, take his spirit as a model, and persevere in the cause of the people.
Although Lu Xun has been dead for six years at the symposium, the literary works he left behind are still deeply shocking. ** The appreciation of Lu Xun is expressed very naturally, because Lu Xun's works not only have profound ideological connotations, but also set a model for people in spirit.
It is a pity that Lu Xun and *** have not had face-to-face communication, and they cannot inspire new sparks of thought in the conversation, which is a regret that cannot be filled.
1. Heroes respect each otherAlthough Lu Xun did not join any party, he has always been concerned about the survival of the country. In his later years, he paid attention to the state of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the turbulent situation, was pleased with the news of the Red Army's third victory in "anti-encirclement and suppression", and told Mao Dun and Feng Xuefeng, who were also members of the Communist Party: "The Kuomintang faction made a big deal of propaganda in the newspapers, but Zhu Mao still frightened them!"”
For **, Lu Xun showed a strong interest due to his previous understanding, and couldn't wait to ask Mao Dun and Feng Xuefeng about the situation of ***.
Mao Dun worked with *** during the Great Revolution, and introduced to Lu Xun that *** was a scholar who was well-versed in the past and the present, although he was bookish in appearance, he was an outstanding leader with the ability to lead thousands of troops.
This information filled Lu Xun with appreciation. In the follow-up exchange, he learned about ***'s age and family background. Lu Xun also assisted Feng Xuefeng in establishing contact with the underground party in Shanghai, and in the exchanges between the two, Feng Xuefeng often reported to Lu Xun on the movements of the Red Army and the Communist Party, and Lu Xun showed enthusiasm and concern for everything about the Communist Party.
When Lu Xun interacted with Smedley, a social activist and internationalist fighter, he also enthusiastically listened to the story of the Long March that she heard from Feng Xuefeng. In addition, knowing that life in Yan'an was hard, he used his manuscript to buy a large number of protein and meat products from Feng Xuefeng and sent them to Yan'an through a friend. Knowing that *** lacked reading materials, he also asked someone to send his works to Yan'an, so that *** could read them in his spare time.
For *** Lu Xun showed a kind of heroic sympathy, which is unique to heroes.
In May 1942, Yan'an held a symposium on literature and art, presided over by *** and Kaifeng, to encourage literary and artistic workers to create revolutionary literary and artistic works and contribute to the revolutionary cause.
**At the symposium, it was emphasized that learning from Lu Xun should be Xi, take his spirit as an example, and maintain life and struggle for the cause of the people.
Although it has been six years since Lu Xun's death, the literary works he left behind still have a strong appeal. **It is very reasonable to inspire everyone with Lu Xun's deeds at the symposium.
However, it is a pity that the two heroes did not meet face to face, and that they did not burst into a new spark of ideas and revolution in their conversations.
** In the revolutionary base area, as with Lu Xun, the attention to Lu Xun is also continuous. When Feng Xuefeng was transferred back to the Soviet area from Shanghai, whether Feng Xuefeng took the initiative to talk to him about work, or he personally found Feng Xuefeng, the two would always turn the topic to Lu Xun.
After gaining an in-depth understanding of Lu Xun's work, thoughts and living conditions, ** said with emotion: "I have met Chen Duxiu, Hu Shi, Zhou Zuoren and other people engaged in literary work during May Fourth, but unfortunately, I have never met Lu Xun. ”
I heard that Lu Xun read Feng Xuefeng's poems and thought that he had the spirit of a "mountain king", and he smiled very happily. Some people say that only Chiang Kai-shek, Lu Xun and half of China understand China, and ** affirmatively said: "At least he knows that Lu Xun understands China, and this view is correct." ”
In 1937, at the commemoration of the anniversary of Lu Xun's death, ** emphasized Lu Xun's identity as a writer and revolutionary when talking about Lu Xun. ** said that although Lu Xun was not a member of the Communist Party, his writings, actions and ideas were all Marxist, and he was a "Bolshevik outside the Party".
Lu Xun does fit this title. After the end of the Long March, Lu Xun publicly expressed his support for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to unite the anti-Japanese front, and retorted when his proposition was attacked by the Trotsky faction: "In terms of theory, Mr. ** is not as superb as you, but if your mastery is warmly welcomed by the aggressor, then you will fall into the dust." At the same time, in his rebuttal, he praised the Communist Party as a bloody victim of the struggle for the survival of the Chinese people.
In 1939, in a correspondence with Zhou Yang, president of Yan'an University, ** made it clear that although Lu Xun did not personally participate in the peasant struggle, he lacked the portrayal of the peasants' hatred of darkness and feudalism in his literary works. This shows that he has conducted in-depth study and reflection on Lu Xun's works.
In the second year, in "On New Democracy", he bluntly said that as a writer, thinker and revolutionary, Lu Xun has always been the leader of the development of the new culture of the Chinese nation and the heroic standard-bearer on the battlefield of the cultural revolution.
3. If Lu Xun was still alive, Lu Xun's literary achievements and status made him the enlightenment mentor of many writers, and the same was true for Luo Jinan, the secretary of Shanghai at that time.
Luo Jinan came from a privileged family, and after completing his studies during a difficult period, although he had found a stable career at Xiamen University, he was influenced by the revolutionary wave and chose to join the Communist Party and became the secretary of Cai Tingkai, a famous general and commander of the 19th Route Army.
At that time, despite the hardships of the revolution, Luo Jinan did not forget to read books to comfort his feelings. When reading "Don Quixote", Luo Jinan was surprised to find that the image of Don Quixote in ** was very similar to Cai Tingkai. Don Quixote struggled for his dreams and had a powerful mount, while Luo Jinan cooperated tacitly with Don Quixote, often facing life and death trials with him, and made many contributions. In order to express his loyalty to the revolution, Luo Jinan even changed his name to "Luo Jinan".
In 1945, Luo Jinan risked his life in a dangerous environment to translate "Marxism Biography" and then "The Propertied People". He participated in the National Symposium of Literary and Artistic Scholars and became an executive member of the Shanghai Translators Association.
In 1957, at the Sino-Soviet Friendship Forum held in Shanghai, he thanked Luo Jinan for his useful contributions to the people, especially the translation of "Marxism". During the conversation, Luo Jinan asked *** a question, which made *** fall into deep thought.
After a short period of thought, he said with a firm gaze: "According to my understanding of him, there will be two endings, he will either be silent or continue to fight in prison." ”
Luo Jinan's question is: If Lu Xun was still alive, what would he be like now?
For those who have never met Lu Xun and have not been in contact with him through letters, such an answer is enough to show his firm respect for Lu Xun for "daring to speak the truth and replacing the knife with a pen".
