"Diary of a Madman" was written by Lu Xun and is China's first modern vernacular novel. The content is roughly based on what a madman sees and hears, pointing out the decay of Chinese culture.
The disease suffered by the madman in "Diary of a Madman" is persecution mania. From a medical point of view, its most prominent symptom is that the patient is in a reactive delusion, and is obsessed with everything around him. All characteristics of a certain thing may cause a paranoid reaction: or suspect that someone is harming him, or suspect that someone is insulting him. Lu Xun used this novel to demonstrate the achievements of the literary revolution. With its profound expression and unique format, it quite excited the hearts of some young readers. Indeed, "Diary of a Madman" is a milestone in the literary history of modern China, creating the revolutionary realist tradition of Chinese new literature.
The madman is not an ordinary typical character, he is symbolic, an artistic symbol of the angry thoughts of the pioneers of the entire May Fourth era. From the madman’s diary, we feel that it is full of criticism and pursuit A majestic, passionate and unrestrained symphony of thoughts of the times, which is a symphony of thoughts, reflections and struggles. After reading Diary of a Madman Screaming 2
Two days ago, the teacher asked us to read a book by Lu Xun, so my mother found me a short story collection "Screaming".
The first story in the book is "Diary of a Madman", which describes the psychological activities of a patient with the so-called "persecution mania". The madman believes that reality is a cannibalistic world and the feudal system is a cannibalistic social system. He checked the history in the middle of the night and saw the word "cannibalism" written throughout the book. In the end, he believed that cannibals would not be tolerated in the future society and called out to save the children.
I have read this story three or four times and still only have a partial understanding of it. The fear of the protagonist gave me a general understanding of the horror and abomination of feudal society. His series of imaginations made my hair stand on end! I was still young and couldn't fully understand it, but at least I knew that in that dark age, the terrible phenomenon of human cannibalism really existed. In that dark age, people's safety was not guaranteed!
Save the child, the last four words came to my mind. The meaning of these four words must not be that simple, right? It shouldn’t just be physical salvation, right? What else? Spiritual salvation? Maybe there are more things I don’t understand... After reading Diary of a Screaming Madman 3
Diary of a Madman - written by Lu Xun in April 1918, is the first truly modern vernacular novel in the history of modern Chinese literature. He concretely reflected the cruelty of the "feudal system" and intended to expose the evils of the family system and ethics. Lu Xun used his long-term and profound observation of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China to issue a deafening cry: Feudalism cannibalizes people. It is a milestone and created the revolutionary realism tradition of Chinese new literature.
Judging from the entire article, the first thing we see is the imaginary world of a madman. He is full of suspicion and fear of others, and always thinks that others will harm him. After he was cured, he saw the truth of the world and woke up to traditional killing. People could not tolerate his awakening and persecuted him again, causing him to succumb to the power of evil forces again and join in with them. The society at that time was so persecuting people. As the leader of the New Culture Movement, Lu Xun realized the horror of the feudal system. It not only made people crazy, but also could eat them. It no longer had true benevolence, justice and morality. There is only suspicion, wariness, and killing among people, which has become a vicious cycle that is difficult to control. Therefore, in despair, Lu Xun shouted and moaned in a madman's tone, "Save the children..." His desperate voice made people pay attention to society.

During this short and long summer vacation, I accidentally broke into the world of madman’s imagination.
When I opened "Diary of a Madman", the first thing that entered my field of vision was the "world of madman's imagination". In this imaginary world of madmen, there is a saying: "When a madman becomes ill, others look at him with suspicion, but his family delays medical treatment, and the madman recovers." Do you think Lu Xun really brought us into the world of madmen?
From the perspective of normal people, perhaps we can reasonably explain the persecution of others in the eyes of madmen. In my profound memory, there are several chilling and frightening scenes like this: There is no moonlight today, and I know something is wrong. When I finished watching this plot, to be honest, the burden on my heart was a bit too much for me to bear. Such a madman is so mad that he does not believe in society, his relatives, or even the existence of humanity. What kind of tragedy is this caused by his life background? !
Although I was not at that time, the traditional feudal society with superficial criticism under the surface of Lu Xun’s novels about madmen running wild made me tremble. Thoughts after reading Diary of a Screaming Madman 5
Lu Xun, whose original name was Zhou Zhangshou, also known as Zhou Shuren, was named Hencai and was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. A well-known writer, thinker, and educator in the history of modern Chinese literature, one of the enlighteners of the May Fourth Movement, and the founder of modern Chinese literature.
Mr. Lu Xun’s main works: novels "Scream", "Wandering", etc.; prose "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk", etc. "The Scream" collects works such as "Diary of a Madman", "Kong Yiji", "Medicine" and "The True Story of Ah Q". Among them, "Diary of a Madman" written by him is my favorite. The novel "Diary of a Madman" was the first modern vernacular novel published in "New Youth" under the pseudonym "Lu Xun" in 1918, with the purpose of preparing for the May Fourth Movement.
In "Diary of a Madman", the author uses the words of a madman to describe various phenomena of feudal ethics in the old society, exposing the "cannibalistic" nature of the family system and ethics. Before, the status of feudal ethics was obviously different, and people could not violate any of the feudal ethics. However, during the May Fourth Movement, Mr. Lu Xun commented that feudal ethics were too outdated and cannibalistic.
The reason why "Diary of a Madman" caused such a big stir at the time was not because of its content, but because his view of "ethical ethics and cannibalism" shocked believers in feudal society. .
You may not know much about the idea that "ethics cannibalize people", but Mr. Lu Xun told us everything in his article.
Instead of reading some online novels, it is better to read more works of writers like Mr. Lu Xun, which can help us see a more real and more turbulent old society, and enable us to understand the changes in different periods. society and state of affairs.
At the end of the novel, Mr. Lu Xun said, "Have you never eaten a child, or are there any? Save the child..." In such a cannibalistic society, people can either protect themselves wisely, or be a child. Cannibals, where are the pure white souls? Facing a society full of "cannibals", that was their heartfelt cry for help...
Mr. Lu Xun used his writing to expose the darkness and "ugliness" of the society at that time, awakening the people to resist darkness and decadence, and moving China towards the future bright. We should cherish the good life we ??have now, and we should be grateful that we live in this peaceful era, and work hard for a better tomorrow for our motherland! Remarks after reading Diary of a Screaming Madman 6
What is darkness? Are you carrying an empty burden, or are you walking the so-called path of life with dignity and cold eyes? Is it spiritual ignorance or physical bondage? Is it an insurmountable mountain, a thorn that stings the soul? Is it a hidden reef that pierces the soul, or is it an ignorant slave, a humble waiter; or is it the weirdness of the times?
"Diary of a Madman" describes the disaster of "human cannibalism". When the bloody people were devoured by the hungry "beasts", their faces remained calm and calm, as if nothing had happened. With their appearance, who would understand that beneath their hypocritical appearance, they are actually planning a conspiracy to carve up people. The numb limbs, the captured will, the destroyed spirit, each and every one of them have dull eyes. The darkness of the times has transformed them into viciousness and ignorance. The seeds of kindness in the past have been entangled by vicious vines. The injustice of fate has made them fell victim to this era. The enslaved body, the controlled mind, the dissolved tenacity, look like a wild beast. And the milestone of the era ended in blood, stupidity, cruelty, and helplessness.
The meaning of survival is to break this situation? Or are you just living an ignoble existence and becoming a trophy of this era? Or try to turn the tide and use the weakness of life to challenge the heights of the times? That is undoubtedly a moth flying into the flame and causing self-destruction. Captured by the times, tortured by fate, enduring great humiliation, and finally brewing scenes of trouble! Dye the gray sky with bright red blood to awaken the blood that supports the soul and forget the reason for persisting in life. The seedlings that were poured with sewage and the buds that had their petals picked became twisted and ugly. The eroded flesh leaves traces of maggots; the shattered heart leaves traces of glass.
The heart soaked in blood has long been vulnerable; the dream captured by cruelty has long been in pieces; the face touched by coldness has long been scarred. After reading Diary of a Screaming Madman 7
Yesterday I read "Diary of a Madman", and this morning I saw several larvae gnawing on mulberry leaves in the carton of silkworm larvae, with unfinished molting still hanging on their tails. Skin.
Even silkworms know that they have to shed their skin when it is small. Don’t people know that if man-made rules hinder the development of society, they must be thrown away and replaced with new ones?
The people around the madman were all locked up by the man-made rules of the time. Some people feel that this man-made rule is right; others know that this man-made rule is outdated, but they still hold on to it and refuse to let go. These people are clinging to this old straw that has long since withered and become powerless, as if this way they can live a better life; madmen are wise people, and they must also grasp this old straw at the beginning, but a gust of wind blows , when the old straw was swaying and about to fall down at any time, the madman gave up on it, found a strong new straw, and reached out to grab it.
However, those who cling to old straws do not agree with the madman’s move to grab new straws. They refuse to grasp at new straws. Indeed, to grasp at a new straw, you need to change some of your old habits. Changing habits is difficult, as can be seen from the fact that the silkworm cannot shake off the old skin from its tail when it sheds its skin - staying in the old skin is a habit that the silkworm has already developed when it sheds its skin.
However, the old straw is already crumbling.
Do these people have to grab old straws and throw them to the ground before grabbing new ones? If you don’t want to change your habits, you have to change them in the end. Otherwise, can you still sit on the ground clutching old straw and swear never to grab new straw? In this way, it is better to give up the old straw and grab the new straw when it is crumbling in the wind.
So, when man-made rules become obsolete, if you don’t want to fall to the ground, there is only one way: grab a new straw (or, you can also choose to hold on to the old straw, and finally Everyone knows who hurts when he falls to the ground).
The silkworm took off the old skin from its tail. The carton was placed on the windowsill, and a ray of sunlight happened to shine inside the carton. The mulberry leaves were shiny. The silkworms that have shed their old skins lie comfortably in the sun. It seems that their new leather is much more comfortable than the old leather. "Diary of a Madman" is a vernacular novel originally published in May 1918. It is the first vernacular novel in the history of modern Chinese literature. It opens a new page in the history of the development of Chinese literature due to its "depth of expression and unique format." This is a very valuable novel.
Through the image of a madman, the work sharply reveals the "cannibalistic" nature of the family system and etiquette, and expresses the author's resistance to the Chinese feudal culture that contains the family system and feudal etiquette. It also expresses the author's A profound sense of repentance.
From the works, we can see how ruthless and cruel these people are in this society, regardless of family ties or anything else. Connected with the background of Mr. Lu Xun's time, we can see that the real society at that time was just like what is described in the book: people cannibalizing people, cruel and dark. The common people are like those who are about to be eaten, with no power to resist. In addition to being tortured, people stand up to resist, but the hearts of the Chinese people have long been asleep. So, Lu Xun picked up the pen in his hand and wrote articles like "Diary of a Madman" to awaken the hearts of the people and make the Chinese nation stand up and resist.
…………
After reading the whole novel, I felt like I was sighing. Lu Xun’s novels are really critical of reality to the extreme. The work is cleverly conceived, the language is straightforward and concise, and the story content is thought-provoking. More importantly, the novel is highly ideological and is well worth reading.

Lu Xun’s topic would probably be endless in three days and three nights. Because Lu Xun is so unique and broad.
In terms of his literary works alone, it takes a long time. I've read his Diary of a Madman. Lu Xun used diaries and inner monologues of mental patients to fully express the information he wanted to express. At that time, people were living in a state of constant fire. For the sake of the survival of the Chinese nation, Lu Xun abandoned his dream of studying medicine, abandoned the ideology of feudal society, and embarked on the road of revolution at this critical moment. , marching towards the door opened for him by the palace of literature, fighting the enemy with the pen in his hand, saving the soul of the Chinese nation with the pen in his hand, and letting people understand the rise and fall of the motherland's honor and disgrace. Lu Xun was a writer and a great revolutionary. He uses the pen in his hand to describe his own blue sky, and he spreads his wings to fly high in this blue sky. Writing is the "wing" that is most suitable for him.
And in order to be able to fly higher and further, he worked hard to make his wings more perfect and indestructible. It is precisely because of this that the world can feast their eyes and appreciate more and better works.
Except for "The True Story of Ah Q", "Diary of a Madman" is Lu Xun's most famous novel. This short novel is today regarded as a "war letter" to challenge the old society and old ethics. At the same time, it has also become a required course and must-read for every Chinese. The "fact" that "cannibalism is common" appears repeatedly in "Diary of a Madman" and forms the theme of this article. Zhao Guiweng, the people on the street, the woman who spanked the child, the two doctors, the tenants of Langzi Village, and even my own brother and mother were all cannibals. In the end, even "I" may not have eaten people. The whole article is closely connected and in-depth, making it a very attractive article.
I think Mr. Lu Xun has found a broader sky. Thoughts after reading Diary of a Screaming Madman 10
Lu Xun, whose original name was Zhou Zhangshou, also named Yushan, later changed his name to Zhou Shuren. The author of the book "Diary of a Madman" was also written by Lu Xun.
"Diary of a Madman" mainly collects three vernacular novels by Lu Xun: "Scream", "Wandering", and "New Story". Various stories express the oppression and persecution of people by the feudal society, and satirize the people who were infected by the feudal society at that time. It also made me deeply understand the darkness of the old society.
Take a prose madman’s diary in “The Scream” as an example.
In this article, it is written that "Mr. Zhao" and "seven or eight people" were whispering about "me", their faces were livid, and everyone in the family pretended not to know "me", and their eyes were also... Just like everyone else. A "villain" in the tenant village was beaten to death by the villagers. Several people dug out his heart and liver, fried them in oil and ate them. So "I" thought they wanted to eat "me" too, so the eldest brother found an old man to diagnose "me" After the first diagnosis, "I" thought that the old man was also pretending to be an executioner, and asked "I" to take care of himself, but he wanted to fatten up and eat "me".
Then he thought that "brother" wanted to eat "me".
This article mentions "cannibalism" many times. It may seem like "a bunch of nonsense" written by a crazy person, but I think the "cannibalism" written by Lu Xun should be What we are talking about is the persecution of the working people at the bottom by some bureaucrats and landlords in the old society, that is, some powerful people.
The last sentence in the article: There are no children who have eaten people, or are there any? Save the child... "Save the child..." This sentence may be "my" expectation to break the dark old society and hope that the old society will not persecute other people.
The book "Diary of a Madman" made me realize the oppression and persecution of the people in the dark and feudal old society.
