The Surging News reporter Luo Xin

For many Chinese writers, Lu Xun is a special presence, both in literary sense and in the ideological and spiritual level. This year marks the 140th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth, and The Paper has curated a special topic called "Reading Lu Xun", inviting writers to talk about their favorite Lu Xun works and Lu Xun's influence on his creation. At the end of the article, there is also the original text (fragment) of Lu Xun's works that they admire.

Wang Yuewen

Writer Wang Yuewen has loved Lu Xun's works since he was a child, and has treasured two sets of "Lu Xun's Complete Works" from the old and new. As he grew older, he felt that he knew More and more about Lu Xun.

"I have read through sir's work. If you must say what you like the most, the first recommendation is "A Q Zheng Biography", the image of Ah Q portrayed by Mr. Ah is Chinese and the world. Each of us must always be vigilant against the possession of A Q. In fact, Q is lying on the back of each of us, and what we need to do is not let him stand up and replace ourselves. He said, "I also like Mr. Lu Xun's essays very much, Mr. Lu Xun's observation and insight into the world, current affairs and human nature, and Mr. Lu Xun's tenacity, courage and righteousness, are all things that we writers should learn." ”

Wang Yuewen also said that reading Lu Xun's works and reading the articles written by his contemporaries lu Xun, he would think of Zi Xia's description of the gentleman in the "Analects" and feel that it was appropriate: looking forward to it, that is, it was also warm, and listening to his words was also strong. In his opinion, Lu Xun is solemn and serious, but also warm and kind, and his words are sharp and cold.

"What I am most willing to learn is the great soul of Mr. Lu Xun. What he loves, what he pities, what he hates, I feel the same heart. Admiring Lu Xun in his heart, he would never let his pen be weak and hypocritical. ”

One spring, he was walking drunk on the street, and in the sunlight at the base of the wall, he saw Wang Hu catching lice naked there, and he suddenly felt that his body was also itching. This Wang Hu, leprosy and Hu, others call him Wang Leper Hu, but Ah Q deleted a leper word, but he was very contemptuous. The meaning of A Q, thinking that leper is not surprising, only this part of the beard, is too novel, people can't see the eye. So he sat down side by side. If it were other idle people, Ah Q would not have dared to sit down carelessly. But next to this Wang Hu, what is he afraid of? Honestly: he was willing to sit down, but he still lifted him.

A Q also took off the torn jacket and checked it once, I don't know whether it was because of the new washing or because of carelessness, a lot of work, only caught three or four. He looked at the king's beard, but it was one after another, two and three, only in his mouth.

Ah Q was disappointed at first, but later he was uneven: there are still so many wang hu who can't see it, but he is so few, what a big loss of decency! He very much wanted to find one or two big ones, but there were none, and it was so easy to catch one, and he tucked hatred into his thick lips, biting it hard, and cracking it, and it was not as good as Wang Huxiang.

His leprosy scars turned red, and he threw his clothes on the ground, spitting, and said:

"This caterpillar!"

"Leper dog, who are you scolding?" Wang Hu raised his eyes contemptuously.

Although Ah Q has recently been more respected and more arrogant, he is still timid to meet with those idle people who are used to fighting, but this time he is very brave. Does such a bearded thing dare to speak out?

"Whoever admits it scolds whom!" He stood up and said with his hands crossed around his waist.

"Are your bones itchy?" Wang Hu also stood up, put on his clothes and said.

Ah Q thought he was going to escape, and rushing in was a punch. This fist had not yet reached the body, it had already been grabbed by him, only to pull, Ah Q stumbled and fell into it, and immediately wang Hu twisted his braids again, and wanted to pull it to the wall to meet as usual.

"'A gentleman doesn't move his mouth'!" A Q tilted his head and said.

Wang Hu didn't seem to be a gentleman, and he didn't pay any attention to it, touching him five times in a row, and pushing hard, as for how far Ah Q fell six feet away, this was satisfied.
