Say something about Lu Xun's medicine.

I always feel that no era can read Lu Xun. Many of Mr. Wang's words are seen in middle school textbooks, such as Blessing, Hometown, Kong Yiji, The True Story of Ah Q, Medicine and so on. I wonder if I still live in middle school textbooks? At that time, when I was studying, I always felt so profound.

At that time, I was in my youth, and I liked the mixed words. However, Lu Xun's writing style is a little bleak and indifferent, just like the way he seldom smiles, which always gives people a feeling of awe, but I can't tell you why.

I don't know how I remember medicine. Maybe I have been dealing with medicine recently! Medicine, after all, is to cure diseases and save lives. What kind of medicine can cure what kind of disease, what kind of medicine will appear. Just like a popular joke "Are you sick?" "You have medicine!" After laughing, the boutique really makes sense.

Medicine and disease are a pair of nemesis, as the traditional culture in China says, they are complementary. Of course, there are some diseases and there is no cure at present. That's because of the limitation of science and technology, we haven't found the right medicine yet. Not finding it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's just a matter of time. Of course, this is also a special case.

Closer to home, we return to the world written by Lu Xun more than 100 years ago.

Medicine is a story that happened in Huajia and Xiajia. Together, Hua Jia and Xia Jia are Huaxia, alluding to China at that time.

Hua Jia's child Xiao Shuan got tuberculosis. When he was terminally ill, he was terminally ill and went to the hospital. His parents heard that human blood steamed bread could cure this disease, so they bought him steamed bread dipped in the blood of revolutionary martyrs, but they still failed to cure the child's disease.

Tuberculosis was an incurable disease at that time, and no matter how it was treated, it could not be eradicated. At that time, China was still very backward, and there was no "bacteriology" subject. Encounter such a disease, first Chinese medicine, then folk prescription, and then hope in heaven. It is understandable to see a doctor when you are ill.

It's not that Chinese medicine is not good, but that China was really backward and had great limitations. Advanced science is far away from us, and all this is beyond the reach of a citizen. When you encounter something, you can only think in an inherent way. Nothing you can do can stop it. The government has been corrupted to a certain extent, and it has been unable to solve people's livelihood. In order to save the people of China, many patriots appeared, and Lu Xun was one of them.

When Lu Xun was a child, he witnessed the fact that his father was delayed by quacks when he was ill.

"Father's Disease" truly recorded such an anecdote:

At that time, Lu Xun was also called Zhou Zhangshou. Little Zhang Shou often goes to the drugstore to buy medicine for his father. There is a kind of medicine that needs "original cricket" as the primer, which makes the Zhang Shou family very embarrassed. Crickets are easy to find, and couples are easy to find. But how to find this native is to find it. How do you know if they are original?

In this way, Lu Xun's father passed away, leaving a shadow on his young mind.

Knowing that his father's illness was delayed by ignorance and superstition, he encouraged himself to study medicine and came to Sendai, Japan, where Mr. Fujino was located. There, he and Mr. Fujino are also teachers and friends, vowing to use their medical knowledge to save the people.

At that time, the world went from bad to worse, and many diseases could not be cured even by famous doctors. While he was in a state of melancholy and hesitation, an unexpected thing changed his mind.

Students in China watch a slide show, and a group of Japanese are watching the Japanese kill their compatriots. Seeing such a picture, Lu Xun felt both angry and shocked. The onlookers were numb, as if the bayonet was not around his neck and had nothing to do with himself. From this, he saw that the misfortune and crisis of the nation were not in the body of the nation, but in the spirit. If you don't wake up mentally, you will always be in ignorance.

So he first wrote The True Story of Ah Q, and then he wrote Medicine. These words were the real reaction of the society at that time, and Mr. Lu Xun wrote the truth of the society with his own pen.

Ah Q's ignorance and numbness are exactly the same as watching movies in China. The behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Hua Laoshuan also has the shadow of Lu Xun's search for "the original cricket". Everything is the reappearance of the national spirit and real life at that time.

Read "Medicine" again, all this is reflected incisively and vividly.

The article is not long and consists of four scenes.

At first, Hua Laoshuan went to buy medicine on the eve of dawn-fresh human blood. It seems that only prisoners can get such a large amount of human blood.

At that time, the condemned man was going to be beheaded, and the beheading would spill a lot of blood and cover it with a small steamed bun.

You know, prisoners are executed in the darkness before dawn, so Hua Laoshuan took his wife's money and walked into the night. ...

Walking on an empty and quiet street, Hua Laoshuan seems to have a sacred mission in his heart. He shook the money into his pocket and pressed it twice outside. The sky is getting brighter and the road is getting clearer.

The son's life is at stake, which is of course a big deal in his family. Hua Laoshuan is still full of hope for the medicine. He is eager for his son to get better after taking this medicine. ...

After he got the human blood steamed bread, he wrapped it carefully and focused on it. He couldn't hear other people's questions at all, and held the steamed bread in awe, just like holding a baby that had been handed down for ten generations.

The second scene is that he comes home, that is, in his teahouse, giving steamed bread to his wife. The wife wrapped the steamed bread with lotus leaves and baked it on the fire. A strange smell immediately floated into the room.

The old couple were so absorbed in this matter that they didn't even hear the question of the hunchback five young master.

Watching my son eat this steamed bread is like seeing new vitality injected into his body, and a happy life will come to his home.

The third scene is still in the teahouse of Hua Laoshuan, where some tea drinkers who often come to drink tea make fun of the conversation. Through these dialogues, the ins and outs of human blood steamed bread are made clear, and readers will no longer be in a fog.

First, the gray beard appeared, and the hunchback five young master echoed. They all found the strangeness of Hua Laoshuan. How can they not concentrate on family affairs?

It can be seen that this "human blood steamed bread" was bought by Uncle Kang.

This long conversation tells us that the blood on the steamed bread belongs to the prisoner, not to the Xia family's children. The dialogue did not show that the prisoner was a revolutionary martyr, because these bystanders just told all this as a joke and were unconscious of bloodshed and sacrifice.

The article does not describe Hua Xiaoshuan's reaction after eating too much steamed bread. Because this is a ridiculous and unreliable thing, there is no cure for this disease. The human blood steamed bread is a funny farce, and it is reasonable that Hua Xiaoshuan finally died.

Therefore, Hua Xiaoshuan's dead author didn't spend too much pen and ink, leaving readers with room for imagination, which is the author's cleverness.

The fourth part is about Chinese mothers going to the grave for their sons. The cemetery is outside Xiguan, near the ground of the city root, with a narrow path in the middle. On the left side of the road, there are people who have been sentenced to death and beheaded, and on the right, there are graves of the poor. On the right is Xiao Shuan's grave, and on the left is a new grave, opposite Xiao Shuan's grave. An old woman in rags is laying out offerings and spending money on paper. She looks very sad.

I thought that the Hua family should have a well-off family and a well-off life when opening a teahouse, but we can see from the location of Hua Xiaoshuan's grave that this is not the case. It seems that at that time-the late Qing Dynasty, people who opened teahouses were also poor!

Both graves are new. The only difference is that there is a wreath at Xia's grave.

This wreath plays the role of finishing touch and makes people see hope in addiction. Although it is not clear who sent the wreath, it doesn't matter. Revolutionary martyrs did not die quietly. Someone is still doing something.

Lu Xun's novels need to be read repeatedly, and every time there will be new gains, which will make people laugh and cry.

Yes, the blood on the human blood steamed bread belongs to the revolutionary martyrs. In Lu Xun's inner world, he hoped that the blood of revolutionary martyrs could be used to save China, but failed to save Hua Xiaoshuan's life. On the one hand, it shows the author's helplessness and sadness, on the other hand, it also reflects the seriousness of reality. The road to revolution is still long and bumpy.

At the end, there is a dead forest. In cold weather, crows fly around and pierce the gray sky, leaving a very sad picture.
