Boy Run-Earth: Lu Xun Uses a Sad Story to Tell Us a Truth About Life
As we grow older, shedding the youthful exuberance of ignorance, we face the relentless social rules, what do we have left?
Bow down to respect the (young lads/girls).
In Lu Xun's portrayal of , he is a character imbued with pathos. As he remembers, he sees the figure of himself growing into a dignified and respectful man, borrowing moonlight to desperately hunt a buck in the fields, eventually bowing respectfully and calling Lu Xun 'Master'.'Old Master'the farmer in his middle age. Lu Xun's son could only feel that everything was no longer the same. There was no longer his familiar shadow in his hometown.
However, we seem to have seen within it a boy's growth journey. From a naive, inexperienced child to a young man, once defiant and critical of the world, just like the Great Sage of Heaven, boldly challenging fate and fighting for his monkeys and grandchildren, he would dare to make a fuss in the Heavenly Court.
Yet, cynicism is always a theme of youth, and we face the trampling of life, we will not always be young, the Great Sage will also become Sun Wukong, in order to escort the Master to successfully obtain the Western Scriptures, he had to humbly bow and kneel, and then returned to his fifth son, Water Spirit to greet the Master, and then took away a fragrant incense burner and a candlestick.
When the hero dream shattered, we no longer try to repair it, but bury it in a place that no one knows.There will always be countless unexpected events attempting to obstruct our path, and the boundary of suffering is beyond our reach. When we become accustomed to the rules of society and become increasingly adept at navigating them, we occasionally ask ourselves,
Whether we have become better or worse.
After repeatedly failing in work, we learn to disguise our true emotions, facing the authoritarianism of leaders, we have to smile and nod, facing the accusations of colleagues we learn to respond calmly, we complete our designated tasks step by step. We no longer confront the world with hostility, we have been worn into a circle.
After experiencing hardships, we no longer have illusions about life, 'Today we drink, today we feast, tomorrow we are sad, and tomorrow we are sad' has become the theme of our current life.
Perhaps we will occasionally go to a lottery shop to buy a few tickets, even if we don't know where the numbers come from, hoping that the god of fortune will bless us and change our fate. Standing at the crossroads of life, as time pushes us forward, we subconsciously choose the simpler one. We carry too many 'responsibilities', and we can't withstand even a slight disturbance. We don't know if things will get better, we can only try to prevent them from getting worse.
Change! It's not too late!
When time slowly beats against our minds and bodies, we realize that the people and places we encounter along the way are all determined by fate. We accept our mediocrity while not abandoning our love of life.
The shackles of life are also the motivation for moving forward. In fact, we no longer let time push us forward; we protect those we want to protect, and it has become the main melody of our lives. We choose to become like , so that future generations won't live like we did, so that future generations won't live like we did.
Perhaps one day we will wake up at midnight and remember the hero dream we buried under our bed. We open it, shake off the dust, and look—even though it is broken and battered, it is still shining brightly.
