Chapter 42 life is still

Today is the fifth day of the new year, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers sounded from all around.This year should be over, Mr. Nian, who is said to be a "monster", should leave.In fact, "year" means harvest, and ignorant people insist on becoming some kind of monster, just like calling "dumpling" nonsense "Jiaozi", saying that the professor of the history department told everyone, and spreading such fallacies at the Spring Festival Gala , this country is really gentle. Today I watched Simonov's "The Last Summer", writing about the Belarusian campaign in 1944.Great Soviet people, great Soviet literature.

I read Chen Xiaoming's article in "Contemporary Literary World" No. 1, 2006, pointing out that now is the beginning of the "post-revolutionary period", which is very insightful.Tao Dongfeng's article "The Elimination of Literary Activities and the Spread of Boredom" is also good, pointing out the cynicism and boredom of current culture. "Lin Feng and the 12.9 Movement" in "Party History" Issue 1, 2006 pointed out that the movement was actually led by the Party. The article "The History of the Severance of Diplomatic Relations Between China and Indonesia During the Cultural Revolution" is also quite valuable.As for "The Inside Story of the Secret Meeting between Chinese and Vietnamese Leaders in Chengdu", I only heard about it before and didn't know the details.

The recent debate on the blog is clearly a step up from last year. The level and rationality of "Vietnam War Trauma", "Passing Passenger", "Mind Mercy" and others are all good.I don’t like some sentimental rhetoric, but when I think of myself in my 20s, I was also very violent. At that time, I completely denied the revolution and laughed at the older generation of revolutionaries without knowing what to do. Many jokes about them were created or adapted by me. Later, some of them came back to me.It was not until the end of the 1980s that I read all the books from all over the world, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, before I realized that I was separated from the land and the real history. What I and the people around me experienced was not the history described in that way.It is almost impossible to fully correct those narratives.So I know Lu Xun's real sorrow.All the histories written in textbooks serve the ruling rulers.It is extremely difficult to penetrate the mainstream narrative, and the first ones encountered are little intellectuals who have been brainwashed.Lu Xun devoted most of his energy to fighting this "formation of nothing".And everyone has inherited the various limitations and fallacies of the past... Just as Xia Yu in the movie said "this world belongs to us all", the first one who gave him a mouth was Ah Yi, and the guests in the teahouse Everyone thought he was crazy, and in today's words, he lost "even the basic conscience and common sense".And today's "common sense" is scarier than ever.

It is in this sense that we can experience what is "the night is long, and the road is long." So don't worry, one of Mao Zedong's problems is that he is too anxious.He has not yet learned from Lu Xun, and he is not right to learn from Confucius.Mao's spiritual legacy probably needs several generations to reorganize critically. So friends, don’t worry, if you don’t understand today, let’s talk about it tomorrow.I plan to blog once in the next two or three days, because I have to prepare for the class of the next semester.I just finished proofreading a manuscript of "History of Popular Literature in the 20th Century", and I feel that I am still immature in doing things.It is still far away from 45 years old, let me rest.

Life is in stillness.Amen!
