【Content Introduction】
Lu Xun once said that his life's philosophy is contained in his Wild Grass. This new edition of Wild Grass features a selection of 74 short yet profound poems and essays, divided into four parts. The opening section features a complete rendition of Wild Grass, while the remaining three sections feature powerful and captivating short essays from his collections Huagaiji, Zhunfengyuetan, Sanxianji, Jiwaiji, and Qiejieting Zawen. The tension of the essays reflects the tension of his personality, and the dimensions of his writing are also dimensions of his personality—angry yet playful; profound yet masterful; provocative yet always self-deprecating and critical... Perhaps we can grasp our own philosophy of life from the words of this great master.
【Editor's Recommendation】
Mr. Chen Danqing once said something thought-provoking: "Lu Xun's words and thoughts, no matter how early or late they were, would have never appeared. His era was a period of national turmoil and intense historical opportunity in modern Chinese history, and also a brief period of 'a hundred schools of thought contending' since the Spring and Autumn Period. If he is considered superior to others, it is because there were others; if others do not agree with him, it means that it was an era of many heroes rising up. He was left hanging and isolated, leaving us with only him to look up to. ... But none of this matters. The real problem is that generations of us have long been shaped into a different species. Our thinking patterns, discourse habits, value judgments, and countless details of life are almost incompatible with those of Lu Xun and his contemporaries. Our difficulty is not that we don't know Lu Xun, but that we don't know ourselves. To restore Lu Xun, I'm afraid we must first draw on Lu Xun's life experience to restore ourselves."
This edition of "Wild Grass" features 74 philosophically charged poems and essays from the Complete Works of Lu Xun, such as "Death," an essay written by Lu Xun the year he was seriously ill. A little over a month later, he passed away. This simple essay is a masterpiece among all literary works on death, both modern and ancient. The final two lines of his will, truly worthy of the great Lu Xun, stand out among the world's most famous epitaphs and last words. These two lines, as we all know, are: "Let them resent; I forgive none." These provocative yet profound words are truly worth pondering.
