"Hesitation" is Mr. Lu Xun's second ** collection, including 11 articles he wrote from 1924 to 1925**, reflecting the darkness and backwardness of Chinese society at that time, revealing the oppression and exploitation of the people by feudal forces, and expressing the author's expectations for the revolution and sympathy for the people.
"Hesitation" is the one that shocked and moved me the most in Mr. Lu Xun's works I have read. In this ** episode, Mr. Lu Xun used his sharp pen to depict vivid and tragic social pictures, showing groups of characters who have suffered and suffering, and expressing his indignation at the old society and his desire for new culture.
In "Blessing", I saw the tragic fate of Xianglin's sister-in-law, a poor peasant woman who was oppressed by feudal etiquette. She was married to a crippled husband since she was a child, and after her husband's death, she was betrayed by her mother-in-law and exiled to Luzhen to work as a domestic servant, where she was despised and abused. She was later snatched by her mother-in-law's house and sold to the He family to marry. He Lao Liu was a simple and loyal farmer, and gave her a son, Ah Mao, which made her a little happy. However, as fate would have it, He Laoliu died of illness, and Ah Mao was eaten by wolves again. Xianglin's sister-in-law couldn't withstand such a blow, became insane, begged along the street, and died tragically on the street in the sound of firecrackers of Luzhen's annual "blessing". After her death, people not only did not sympathize with her, but also scolded her as a fallacy. I saw the endless suffering and humiliation endured by Xianglin's sister-in-law, and I felt the helplessness and despair hidden in her heart. I shed tears for her, and I was also angry at the destruction and ** of working women in the old society.
In "On the Restaurant", I saw the decadence of Lu Weifu, a once radical young intellectual. He participated in the May Fourth Movement and had revolutionary ideals and actions. But after the failure of the campaign, he lost confidence and direction, became negative and withdrawn. He returned to the post of teaching and educating people, but it was only perfunctory and vague. He no longer cares about the fate of the country and the nation, nor about the interests of himself and his compatriots. He only knows how to escape from reality, chatting with old friends, playing cards, listening to books, eating, drinking and having fun in the restaurant. He even self-righteously criticized the New Education and New Culture Movement. He has completely degenerated and become a vulgar petty burgher. I saw the loss and hesitation of intellectuals after the May Fourth Movement embodied in Lu Weifu, and I felt the cowardice and inferiority that he had hidden deep in his heart. I feel sorry for him, and I also feel sad for the distortion and destruction of intellectuals by the old society.
In "The Lonely", I saw the loneliness and rebellion of Wei Lianzhen, a modern intellectual with a unique personality. He is a thoughtful, talented, and backbone man, who is unwilling to succumb to the rules and constraints of the old society, who is not willing to go along with the crowd, who is not willing to be swayed by anyone or anything. He lived in a "one-headed cocoon" created by himself in an escaping way to taste loneliness, and he made a desperate rebellion against society in the form of self-destruction. He died, as if he was clean and liberated only when he died. I saw Wei Lianzhen's dissatisfaction with the old society and his desire for a new culture, and I felt the tragedy and arrogance contained in his heart. I admire him, and I am also indignant at the oppression and destruction of intellectuals by the old society.
The ** episode of "Hesitation" brought me a deep shock and inspiration. It made me see the darkness and backwardness of the old society, the oppression and exploitation of the people by the feudal forces, and the struggle and resistance of the people in suffering. It also let me see the greatness and nobility of Mr. Lu Xun, let me see his expectations for the revolution and sympathy for the people, and let me see him use words as **, ideas as fire, and art as a lighthouse. "Hesitation" is a collection of profound significance and influence, which not only reflects Mr. Lu Xun's thought and art, but also reflects Chinese history and reality. It is a mirror that allows us to see the truth about ourselves and society. It is a knife that allows us to cut the wounds of ourselves and society. It is a light that allows us to illuminate the future of ourselves and our society.
