Lu Xun’s “Fan Ainong” and the Xinhai Revolution

Social problems he saw the current situation of the motherland, so he gave up medicine and turned to literature. The disease of the people in the motherland does not lie in the body but in the heart, and must be solved psychologically

Personal problems Lu Xun was born in September 1881 He grew up in a wealthy family in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. His grandfather passed the imperial examination and served as an official in the capital. His father also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. But when Lu Xun was 13 years old, a big change occurred in his family. Lu Xun's grandfather was arrested and imprisoned for bribing the examiner of the provincial examination. Lu Xun's family fell into decline ever since. Moreover, misfortunes never come singly. Lu Xun's father suffered from lung disease again and often vomited blood. Because the medical level was relatively low at that time, the disease could never be diagnosed. In addition, the family was in decline, so it was not possible to spend more money on treatment. So they followed the Shaoxing folk method to stop the bleeding and asked the patient to drink old ground ink. He also invited a local Chinese medicine doctor for diagnosis and treatment, took a lot of Chinese medicine, and used some weird medicines, but in the end he could not save his life.

Therefore, Lu Xun believed that "TCM is nothing but a liar, intentional or unintentional." From then on, Lu Xun determined to study medicine, and after completing his studies, he planned to "treat the suffering of mistaken patients like my father. During the war, he served as a military doctor, which at the same time promoted the Chinese people's belief in the Reform." So he went to Sendai, Japan, to practice medicine. Study medicine in a technical school.

Lu Xun encountered an incident in his second year of studying in Sendai, which made him change his ambition to study medicine. During a bacteriology class, a "movie" (slideshow, as it was called at the time) was needed to show the shape and activity of bacteria. After the teacher finished speaking, before get out of class ended, he showed a few slides of current affairs, showing the story of the Russo-Japanese War that had just ended not long ago: the Japanese army captured a Chinese and wanted to shoot him, saying that he had become a Russian spy. , there were many strong Chinese people watching the excitement around the execution ground... At this time, some Japanese students shouted "Long live" wildly, and some looked at Lu Xun sideways and commented: "Look at the Chinese people like this. China will definitely perish." Faced with this situation, Lu Xun's whole body felt like it was on fire. He couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly, picked up his books and walked out of the classroom angrily.

Lu Xun was deeply touched by this incident. He thought: In order to compete for spheres of influence, Japan and Russia are waging a dirty war on Chinese soil, which is a ravage on China's sovereignty. The corrupt Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, and the people did not wake up. This is the root of China's backwardness. It seems that medicine is not an urgent matter. If the Chinese people cannot awaken their minds, no matter how strong their bodies are, will they still be captured and beheaded by the imperialists? Isn’t it just a matter of publicity and a numb spectator? How many people die from the disease is not the main thing. The main thing is to change people's spirit. Only by awakening people can China have hope.

But what method can be used to change people’s spirits and awaken the people? Lu Xun believed that among the overseas students at that time, there were those studying medicine, law, engineering and manufacturing, etc. These could only make a difference in a certain field, but could not change people's spirit. To change people's spirit, first of all Tweet art. Literature and art can improve people's ideological consciousness, awaken people from a sleeping and numb state, and stimulate people's patriotic enthusiasm. In this way, when people wake up, China will have hope for change.

Not long after, Lu Xun left Sendai Medical College and went to Tokyo. He contacted several like-minded friends such as Xu Shoushang to organize a literary magazine. His literary career soon began. Later, he wrote a large number of essays and novels and became my country's greatest modern literary writer.

Lu Xun gave up medicine and followed literature because of his experience in Japan. Back then, Lu Xun went to Tokyo, Japan to study. He was so bored when he saw the "Qing students" in Tokyo that they were confused and confused, so he went to another city. At first, because he was the first international student to arrive in that city, he received preferential treatment. Later, he was ridiculed during a semester exam. Next, he watched a film in a class. The content of the film was that during the Russo-Japanese War, a Chinese was working as a detective for the Russians. He was caught by the Japanese and wanted to be shot. A group of Chinese people were watching around him (it was at that time Russo-Japanese War). There was cheering in the classroom (the classmates around Lu Xun were Japanese). Lu Xun was greatly shocked. He believes that if China wants to be prosperous and strong, the Chinese people must wake up. It is useless to just save a few people. Therefore, he decided to abandon medicine and pursue literature.
