Lu Xun's testament Don't engage in politics or business
The affairs of the state are not allowed to be absurd, and Mr. spares no effort to criticize;In the midst of deep sorrow, we can only encourage the masses to continue their struggle. Mr. Lu Xun, a famous writer, thinker and revolutionary in China, his articles are often found in textbooks, and his works are also students' favorite extracurricular reading.
When studying in Japan, Lu Xun originally studied medicine, but after witnessing the decay of the old Chinese people, he abandoned medicine and followed literature, took the pen as the first and the article as the protection, and stood in the chaotic world.
Mr. Lu Xun's attainments in the field of literature are unparalleled in the world, his name is almost unknown, and his works are a sharp criticism of the evil forces of old China, which is impossible to ignore.
However, before his death, he expressed a different expectation to future generations, hoping that they would not choose to pursue a career in literature or art. Although Mr. Lu Xun has made such great achievements in the literary world, why is he unwilling to let future generations continue to follow in his footsteps?
Did his descendants keep his will?How many speculations and mysteries have Mr. Lu Xun's death caused?Mr. Lu Xun was seriously ill, "ten years of trees, a hundred years of people", his name "Zhou Shuren" is derived from this.
Through in-depth study of Mr. Lu Xun's life, we know that he was born in the Zhou family in Xintai, Shaoxing, and is a famous local family, and Mr. Lu Xun is the eldest son in the family.
His grandfather once served as the cabinet secretary in the capital, a position more important than that of a magistrate, and although he had no real power, it was enough to ensure the family's wealth.
Lu Xun's life was full of twists and turns. Thirteen years of carefree life vanished in an instant under the pressure of my grandfather's imprisonment, my family's refuge, and my mother's private marriage.
Faced with the shackles of feudal ideology, he was deeply affected during his study in Japan, and decided to abandon medicine and pursue literature to contribute to China's revolutionary cause. His sharp style of writing made many people at that time his enemies, and he was even called the public enemy of the people and the moth of society.
His pen is full of criticism and ridicule, and he shows no mercy to his enemies or those who don't like him. His literary works caused great repercussions at the time, and many people talked about the rapid change.
In the summer of 1936, Mr. Lu Xun's health deteriorated, and the shadow of tuberculosis gradually appeared on him. In fact, it is no accident that long-term smoking has caused his lungs to be in poor condition.
Despite the need to take a large amount of medicine every day, he still insisted on working hard and devoting himself to his work. In the last stage of his life, Lu Xun still insisted on working late into the night, and only at the urging of his wife Xu Guangping did he realize the passage of time.
Despite his illness, he was unable to quit smoking, and his condition was never effectively controlled. He may even have sudden difficulty breathing and need to rely on asthma medicine to keep him alive.
The pain of the disease left him withered and unable to eat and rest properly.
In order to better improve, Lu Xun used the contacts accumulated in studying abroad to invite a Japanese expert in pulmonology, Sudo, to come to Huawei for diagnosis and treatment. Under Sudo's careful **, Lu Xun's condition had ups and downs, and there was a hint of a turn for the better in early October, and his mental state was getting better and better, and he could even go out for a walk when the weather was good.
Everyone thought that Lu Xun's condition was about to improve, but all this was just a flashback. In the early morning of October 19, 1936, Lu Xun suddenly began to cough up blood, breathing weakly, although the doctor made every effort to rescue, but in the end it was irreparable, Lu Xun regretfully passed away.
In the last 26 hours before Lu Xun's death, doctors recorded his condition and archived it, which also became an important research material for the truth of Lu Xun's death many years after his death.
According to the information provided by the doctors, the experts analyzed through two chest X-rays that Mr. Lu Xun not only suffered from tuberculosis, but also had severe bronchitis and emphysema, and exudative pleurisy had appeared on his right lung.
This means that the cause of Mr. Lu Xun's death was not the worsening of tuberculosis as stated by Dr. Sudo, but the spontaneous pneumothorax on the left side. This discovery has once again drawn public attention to the cause of Mr. Lu Xun's death, and if it is true that he died of a pneumothorax, then is it necessary to hold Dr. Sudo accountable for his dereliction of duty?
The identity of Dr. Sudo has also raised questions among the public, whether he is just a doctor?
Skepticism is not groundless, there are reasons behind it. Mr. Lu Xun's lung disease did not show serious symptoms at first, and he was living in Shanghai at the time, and he was fortunate to have access to the best medical resources in China.
Although tuberculosis is a chronic disease, it is entirely possible to control it if it is properly treated, and even in the case of sudden onset, timely medical treatment may turn the tide.
However, all this is overshadowed by the question of Dr. Sudo's identity. Dr. Sudo was a Japanese at a time when Sino-Japanese relations were tense and wars were frequent. Previously, Japan had contacted Lu Xun several times, promising to provide security for him and his family, as long as he was willing to return to Japan.
However, Mr. Lu Xun resolutely refused, and in the article he denounced Japan's shameless acts.
After Lu Xun's death, Sudo, a Japanese doctor who had been taking care of him, suddenly disappeared, and his departure attracted great attention from Lu Xun's wife, Xu Guangping. In order to find out the reason for his departure and to understand Mr. Lu Xun's condition, Xu Guangping decided to go to Japan to find out.
However, when she finds Sudo's place of work, she learns that he has retired. Although Xu Guangping did not give up easily in the face of such a result, she intuitively felt that Lu Xun's death might be related to Sudo.
After many inquiries, Xu Guangping finally obtained Sudo's address and went there immediately. However, all that awaited her was a closed door, and the house was already empty.
Neighbors told her that the family had moved out not long ago.
Lu Xun's son Zhou Haiying also felt suspicious about his father's death after hearing his mother tell about it. After an in-depth investigation, he discovered that Sudo's identity was not simple, he had graduated from medical school and served as a third-class military doctor in the Japanese army, and had close ties with the Japanese army.
Therefore, Zhou Haiying speculated that it may be that the Japanese army held a grudge against Lu Xun after being rejected and scolded by Lu Xun, and arranged for Sudo to do something in **. However, this is only Zhou Haiying's speculation, and there is a lack of substantive evidence.
However, Sudo, as a well-known pulmonist, made the mistake of misdiagnosis in the process, which is enough to make people doubt his motives.
Mr. Lu Xun's death was due to pneumothorax, which is a great regret. While the cause of his death is widely debated, his influence was far-reaching. His leadership position in the New Culture Movement, with his pen and words, led the ideological enlightenment of the Chinese people, and had a great impact on China's cultural revolution.
His works give us a glimpse of a "cannibalistic" society, and after his death, many students attended his funeral ceremony, and the whole funeral process also followed his will.
In the last months of his life, Mr. Lu Xun wanted to leave something behind. He knew his time was running out, but he told himself, "So be it, but do it as soon as possible." ”
What is he going to do? What did he write in his will? In September 1936, Mr. Lu Xun wrote the last article "Death" during his illness, which was also a will he made for himself.
This will is not only for the descendants of the Zhou family, but also for the Chinese people. He published the will publicly in a magazine, and there were seven of them.
1. During the funeral, unless it is an old friend, do not accept money from others. 2. Immediately and properly handle the aftermath, and this is the end. 3. Do not hold any form of commemorative activities.
4. Let me disappear from your memory and live my life. If you can't, you're a fool. 5. When the child grows up, if he has no talent, find a small job, and don't try an empty career in literature or art.
6. Don't trust other people's promises easily. 7. Those who harm the interests of others, but oppose retaliation and advocate tolerance, must not get too close to them.
In this article, Mr. Lu Xun calmly faced his death, first explained his funeral arrangements to his family, and advised everyone not to miss him. Despite his worries about China, he gave valuable advice to the world.
The fifth piece of advice, however, is puzzling, as he does not seem to want younger generations to pursue a career in literature and fine arts.
While studying in Japan, Mr. Lu Xun resolutely gave up medicine and devoted himself to the field of literature for the sake of the future of the country and the nation. His courage and perseverance led him to great literary achievements, and his writings were like a powerful force in the revolutionary period, inspiring people to move forward.
However, when he died, he did not encourage future generations to follow his literary path, which makes one wonder. In addition, Mr. Lu Xun also has high attainments in fine arts, and his more than 20 art ** and art works, although they are overshadowed by his literary achievements, his love and devotion are obvious.
However, he calls these two "bearish" industries, and why is that?
We all know Mr. Lu Xun's outstanding contributions and lofty status in the literary world, which indicates that his descendants may use his prestige as a ladder to break through in the literary world.
However, it is undeniable that all his literary works would seem insignificant under the brilliance of Mr. Lu Xun. Literature and fine arts, both of which require talent and inspiration, and in addition to luck, also require deep accumulation.
Most people choose to give up in the confusion of waiting. Therefore, if you are "powerless", don't force yourself to do it, and if you lack that ability, you might as well do what you really love and don't blindly imitate his pace.
After all, there are countless people in this world, and there is only one Lu Xun.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Work is about politics, and it always makes people walk on thin ice." Naturally, he was reluctant to involve his literature in political struggles, but China at that time needed him to do so, and he needed to cry out for reform.
His "horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow" showed his helplessness and helplessness in running for the revolution all his life. In his will, he specifically mentioned this matter because he didn't want his son Zhou Haiying to take a path that was not suitable for him because of him.
Zhou Haiying remembered Mr. Lu Xun's last wish, what kind of life path will he take?
Zhou Haiying's childhood, under the education of his father Lu Xun, was full of freedom and happiness. Lu Xun encouraged him to pursue his inner love and live his own life, not forcing him to read or memorize many classics.
It is in this relaxed environment that Zhou Haiying was able to develop her own interests and hobbies and grow up unrestrained.
Zhou Haiying has been full of love for the camera since he was a child, and every time he walks into the photo studio, he always stares at the lens of the camera with full attention, revealing great curiosity. Lu Xun noticed his passion for photography and began to discover his talent.
Under the guidance of her father, Zhou Haiying gradually came into contact with the world of photography.
After Mr. Lu Xun passed away, he left a will, clearly expressing his hope that Zhou Haiying would not devote himself to literature or art, which was actually a kind of protection for him. After all, Mr. Lu Xun's reputation has long been thunderous, and he has always been worried that the world will think that Zhou Haiying should engage in writing because of his name, which will affect Zhou Haiying's life.
In the article "How Do We Be Fathers Now", Lu Xun elaborated on his views on educating his children, and it is this kind of father that allows Zhou Haiying to learn"Lu Xun's son"I didn't have to continue the pursuit of my fathers, but chose the photography path I liked.
Zhou Haiying's first camera was a gift from his mother, Xu Guangping, and it was the first attempt in his photography career. His passion led him to study photography knowledge and skills in depth, and to take pictures every day to document life as his spare time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was invited to return to the mainland with his mother, Xu Guangping, and other literary celebrities, this time in secret and without a journalist to follow. On the way, Zhou Haiying's improvised ** became the only image record of the historical event of the "New Political Consultative Conference Discussion Meeting".
After returning to the mainland, Zhou Haiying chose North China University, majoring in radio. In this new environment, no one knows that he is the son of a celebrity, he is just an ordinary school student living an ordinary life.
Such a living environment makes Zhou Haiying feel relaxed and happy. With a good learning environment and his own unremitting efforts, he became an outstanding radio expert, was hired by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and has been serving the country and the people.
He has always maintained his love for photography, and in his free time he walks the streets and alleys, capturing the most ordinary street people, depicting their ordinary lives.
In the next 70 years, he took more than 20,000 photos**, carefully recording the changes of that era.
"Cooked Food Hawker" under the lens of Zhou Haiying: children in cotton jackets holding candy men in their hands, hot steamed buns rising, and ragged hawkers smiling like flowers, they shuttle through the streets and alleys, revealing their love for life, even in the era of poverty.
Zhou Haiying adhered to Mr. Lu Xun's expectations and lived out his self-worth. Ending: The modern Chinese revolution has gone through ups and downs, Mr. Lu Xun with his unique status, sharp articles sounded the alarm bell of old China, he depicted that "cannibalistic" society, not with the world, but to stand up, lead people out of trouble, his existence is the inevitable choice of the times, and his will is also a warning to China, China should not appear a second Lu Xun, but should continue to move forward, towards a better future.
