On the significance of naming Lu Xun's Scream.

Lu Xun's name "Shout" has two meanings:

First, I hope to wake up the sleeping China people through "Scream";

Second, I hope that through "Scream", I can comfort and encourage "the warriors who run in loneliness, so that they are not afraid of their predecessors" like the editors of "New Youth" magazine.

Lu Xun's collection of short stories "Scream" contains 14 novels, including Diary of a Madman, Kong Yiji, Medicine, The True Story of Ah Q and Hometown, which reflects the appearance of ancient villages and towns in China from around the Revolution of 1911 to the May 4th Movement.

Starting from revolutionary democracy, with the aim of enlightenment and the spirit of humanitarianism, this paper reveals all kinds of deep-seated social contradictions, deeply analyzes and completely denies the old China system and some outdated traditional concepts, and shows a strong sense of anxiety for national survival and a strong hope for social change.

The Writing Background of Scream

1965438+In September 2005, New Youth was published, which marked the beginning of the New Culture Movement. At that time, Qian, the editor-in-chief of New Youth, came to Lu Xun for a manuscript. Lu Xun saw "the dawn of the new century" 19 17 from the October Revolution in Russia. The victory of Russian October Revolution brought Marxism–Leninism to China, and Lu Xun was greatly encouraged.

Lu Xun believes that as long as you "shout", there is hope to wake up the "sleeping" people and destroy the dark "iron house" that locks them up. Lu Xun agreed to Qian's invitation and began to write articles. Lu Xun respects and appreciates the editors of New Youth, and thinks that they are "perhaps lonely", so he wants to "shout" and "have a chat, to comfort this warrior who runs in loneliness and make him not afraid of his predecessors."

19 18 In May, Lu Xun published his first vernacular novel "Diary of a Madman" in New Youth, and then wrote more than a dozen short stories one after another. 1923, Lu Xun wrote 19 18 to 1922.

Lu Xun, the author, once said: "Since you are crying, of course you have to listen to the will." Therefore, Scream is a work that obeys the command of revolutionary pioneers, that is, the "obedience literature" that obeys the May 4th anti-imperialist and anti-feudal new-democratic revolution. ?
