Chapter 800: Let's talk about Mr. Lu Xun
After chatting about Su Bai, Li Mad and Xu Qian chatted about modern literature, and in modern literature, Mr. Lu Xun is a mountain that cannot be bypassed, he is mythologized, demonized, and extremely degraded!
Li said wildly: "I always feel that Lu Xun is overrated!"
Xu Qianγγγγγγγγγγ
Xu Qian knew that Li Mad had criticized Lu Xun many years ago.
Xu Qian felt that Li Mad did not have that qualification!
To tell the truth, Li Mad is famous for his life, he himself is a living legend, a legend in the world, and there has never been a second Li Mad in the world!
His evaluation of himself is unprecedented, unprecedented!
This is actually in line with his usual style, for example, he once said that the three best people who write vernacular in recent years are the first Li Mad , the second Li Mad and the third Li Mad !
Someone asked him who he admired the most, and he said I would look in the mirror!
Li Mad's life is legendary, but his academic status is not easy to evaluate, and his sons say that his academic status may occupy a placeγγγγγγγγ
The most important thing is that he has been in contact with some famous people, and some of his remarks should be very valuable!
Therefore, Li Mad commented that Mr. Lu Xun is still not capable!
Xu Qian said: "Then what do you think of Mr. Lu Xun now?"
Xu Qian was very curious, after all these years of training, would Li Yan's mind change?
Li Mad replied: "I still think Lu Xun is overrated!"
Li Maddao: I think Lu Xun has been overpoliticized and overestimated in the mainland. Lu Xunxiang wrote "The True Story of Ah Q" and "A Brief History of China", both of which are very good books. However, Lu Xun's essays are actually not good. Everyone thinks Lu Xun's essays are sharp, but they are not good. First, his essays are influenced by Japanese grammar, and there is also a kind of classical Chinese that is not mature enough. So his writing is awkward. β
"Second, there are too many emotional expressions in his essays, and there are not many real information parts. If you read my article, you delete the emotional word, and what you read is still information, which is evidence. For example, when I prove that (he's) a bastard, then prove it. I might have some scolding, hateful bastards, bastards, but there's still evidence in my bones. Lu Xun lacked something in this regard. β
Although Xu Qian felt that what Li Mad said had some truth, he didn't agree!
Because everyone has shortcomings, as long as you want to find it, you can pick a bone in the egg, even if it is a peerless masterpiece!
Xu Qian thinks that Lu Xun's biggest shortcoming is the lack of long stories, and not having enough long stories is his biggest weakness!
Xu Qian still admires Mr. Lu Xun very much!
In fact, many people now have misunderstandings about Mr. Lu Xun, because we have been reading Lu Xun since we were children, and we are tired of watching it, tired of watching it, and rebellious psychology, thinking that Lu Xun is just like that!
And now there are many people who want to defeat Lu Xun!
The target of them is usually not the academic world, but the public, and the case they overturned, or said to be the target they want to overthrow, is Lu Xun!
Their selling point is usually "Come on, come on, let me tell you, Lu Xun is mythologized, and Lu Xun is a scumbag!"
In order to belittle Lu Xun, it is natural to praise some other writers!
What's more, they specially found some text loopholes in Lu Xun's articles to prove that Lu Xun was nothing more than that!
It's not that these people haven't read books, but they have read crookedly on purpose!
In fact, they are all using people's rebellious hearts, questioning the attitude of all existing knowledge, and eager to push all images to prove how awesome they are, only the old man and I have insight into everything, and you are just blinded by existing knowledge!
The existence of these people has also made many people see a different Lu Xun!
Xu Qian thought about Yu Hua from another world!
Yu Hua is the Yu Hua who wrote "Alive" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"!
He hated Lu Xun the most when he was young!
When Yu Hua grew up in a turbulent era, there were very few literary works that could be read at that time, while Lu Xun's works were unimpeded. Yu Hua started reading "Diary of a Madman" in elementary school, and he still read "Diary of a Madman" in junior high school and high school, and he was about to vomit when he read it, and he couldn't understand it at all!
After Yu Hua began to write, the editor of Harvest magazine said that his style was a bit like Lu Xun, and Yu Hua felt that he was insulting him at the time.
Yu Hua's own memories:
Time came in 1996, an opportunity for me to reread Lu Xun's works, a director planned to adapt Lu Xun's into a movie, asked me to plan for him how to adapt, he would pay me a good amount of planning fees, at that time I just happened to be short of money, so I agreed. Then I found that I didn't have a single copy of Lu Xun's books on my shelf, so I had to go to the bookstore and buy "Lu Xun's Collection". That night, I began to read these works under the lamp, and the first one I read was "Diary of a Madman", which I had written as a song, but I completely forgot the contents of it.
At the beginning of the chapter, when the madman felt that the whole world was abnormal, he used this sentence: "Otherwise, why did the Zhao family's dog look at me. γ
I was startled, thinking that this Lu Xun was a bit powerful, he only used one sentence to make a character insane.
Other untalented writers also want to make their characters insane, but these writers have painstakingly written tens of thousands of words, and their characters are still normal.
"Kong Yiji" was the third one I read that night, and it was repeated in my Chinese textbooks from primary to secondary school, but I was thirty-six years old when I actually read it.
After reading "Kong Yiji", I immediately called the director, hoping that he would not adapt Lu Xun, I said on the phone: "Don't spoil Lu Xun, this is a great writer. γ
Yu Hua later said why he hated Lu Xun:
After the turbulent years were over, I read a lot of other writers, both great and mediocre, and when I read the work of a certain writer, as soon as I got bored, I immediately put down the work of that writer, so that I did not have the opportunity to hate that writer.
But during the turbulent years, I couldn't let go of Lu Xun's works, and I was forced to read them over and over again, so Lu Xun was the only writer I hated in my life.
I told the Norwegian audience that when a writer becomes a word, it hurts the writer.
After my presentation, Professor Harald Beckman of the Department of History at the University of Oslo came up and said, "The same hatred you had for Lu Xun as a child was the same as the hatred I had for Ibsen when I was a child. γ
In fact, it is also a good thing to pull Mr. Lu Xun off the altar over the years, so that people can look at him more objectively, look at him from multiple angles, neither mythologize nor demonize, he is him, a great writer!
Yes, Mr. Lu Xun is a great writer in Xu Qian's heart, and he will never be famous!
Li Mad asked Xu Qian: "What kind of person is Lu Xun in your heart?????
Li Mad's question came out, and everyone else looked at Xu Qian curiously!
Because Lu Xun is so special!
It simply affects every aspect of the country!
Those who love him think he is great, and those who look down on him look down on him!
"So what does Xu Qian think of Lu Xun???
This is what many people are curious about!
