Chapter 50 general theory

Recently, Mr. Lu Xun often used He Jiagan's pen name to publish short articles less than 500 words long in "Free Talk" of "Shenbao" edited by Li Liewen.It's been a long time since I saw his old man's articles. Of course, among the Chinese writers, no one can surpass Mr. Lu Xun for his humorous and ironic taste. However, I heard that the current Mr. Lu Xun has gone to the cross streets and stood in the ranks of the revolution.Well, strictly speaking, the humorous style of the leisure class like his is really not revolutionary.I thought it should be changed too!For example: Mr. Lu Xun doesn't like the third type of people and hates nationalist literature and art. He can say it bluntly, why bother to put on airs, hesitate and talk so much.In his recent environment, of course, apart from those tributes to the Soviet Union's benevolent government, there is no more common literature and art.He thinks that the third kind of people are the smartest people who don’t talk about these things; nationalist writers and artists deliberately find reasons to cover up their ignorance, and they are the second-best people.His words can be described as profound and vicious.However, it is still doubtful whether the most popular literature and art now are only those tributes to the Soviet authorities.If the gentlemen are really clamoring for the liberation of the toiling masses, it’s okay; if it’s just for personal outlets, they deliberately create a gold-branded trademark that is easy to show off as a way of appealing.Then, I can't see how much higher the painstaking efforts of gentlemen are compared to the third type of people you despise, as well as nationalist writers and artists.

In fact, the personal lives of gentlemen, in my opinion, are no more poor than those of the petty bourgeoisie writers you scolded.Of course, Mr. Lu Xun is an exception. Most of the so-called revolutionary writers, I heard, often meet them in Shanghai's big dance hall, Lafayette Garden, accompanied by their beautiful lovers, drinking champagne and eating chocolate at the same time, happily They danced the foxtrot, tired of dancing, and drove to the scheduled incense nest in a bright car, living their life of ecstasy.Get up tomorrow, write workers!struggle!Such things are exchanged for manuscript fees from the publications run by scholars. At night, they still live under the red and green lights, intoxicated, singing, and loving.I don’t understand why gentlemen are still calling for suffering and injustice for such a prosperous life. Whether the kindness of your cats and mice can win the sympathy of the working people? question!

If the Chinese can't do some basic work on the culture itself, and everyone just shouts slogans and makes a fuss, I think it will be useless to bring the latest and most fashionable things in the world to China. usefulness.We admit that the current Soviet Russia has indeed achieved considerable success with him, but this is not accidental.How rich is the part of their cultural heritage left over from the past. We go back to the Russian literature, music, art, philosophy, and science before the October Revolution, and none of them have reached the level of international culture.Only with these substantial foundations can they produce today's leaders with roots in learning.We only yearn for other people's success and don't know the fundamental achievement of the culture of hard work. After another ten, hundred, or even thousands of years, China will still be like this, maybe even worse than it is now.

Yes, the cultural movement in China has a history of twenty years.However, in the past twenty years, what has been gained culturally.Can there be a relatively reliable translation of European and American masterpieces in China? Can we all produce a representative work for various schools of literature and art and various doctrines? Can other scientific inventions and ideological creations be translated? There is one worthy of our memory.well!With Chinese culture so low, what else can we talk about! If Chinese literary and art workers cannot, from today onwards, vow to do some basic work, transfer more literary and artistic food, and plant more literary and artistic seeds, I dare say that in modern China, there will be absolutely no Will produce the "best" literature and art.
