Always get suspicious if someone argues they want to "Save the #children "*
If they really wanted to save the children they wouldn't let get them addicted to platforms owned by #TechBro s
They wouldn't draw them into the gamified #brainwashing #machines of so-called #socialmedia
They would listen to them, spend time with them & leave them the freedom to make their own experience & mistakes
*...if it is not the last sentence in #LuXun 's Diary of a Madman

Hoe de iconische schrijver Lu Xun (1881-1936), kritisch en nooit communist geworden, tot knuffelbare toeristische bestemming wordt gemaakt, met de scherpe randjes er zorgvuldig afgeschaafd.

Zhang Lijia, zelf ook schrijfster, beveelt vijf Chinese romans aan die diepe indruk op haar hebben gemaakt, en bovendien iets zeggen over China. 'Sommige maken gebruik van satire, andere van lyriek of magisch realisme maar allemaal komen ze voort uit een groot begrip van de menselijke psyche en de krachten in de maatschappij.'

Une biographie de Lu Xun, le plus grand écrivain de la Chine contemporaine

I started reading Lu Xun to understand China and his times; I continued reading Lu Xun to understand our world and our times.
I've been going through the Penguin "The Real Story of Ah-Q and Other Tales of China: The Complete Fiction of Lu Xun " . Some of his stories will stay with me for the rest of my life. For example, "New Year's Sacrifice" with its depiction of the cruelties of social hierarchy, the repression of women, and suffocating superstition will disabuse honest readers of any sentimental illusions they entertain about the virtues of traditional society. More subtly, the narrative also reminds progressives that they might not have all the answers.

« Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. »

This was shared with me by an anonymous genius, and I'm furious because I can't buy it now. Obviously, I would prefer the collector's edition, because it comes with a banana.

Nog voor #Moederdag: stuk over hoe Lu Xun, grondlegger van de moderne Chinese literatuur, in zijn verhalen eer betoonde aan de ellende die moeders te verduren kunnen krijgen.

For International Women's Day, for some reason, I'm usually reminded of Lu Xun's weary and powerful Memorial to Liu Hezhen. Maybe it's worth a read for you as well.

“Imagine an iron house, with absolutely no windows, indestructible, with many people asleep inside who will soon die of suffocation…Would you think you are doing them a good turn [by waking them before they perish]?”
“But if a few awake, you can’t say there is no hope.”
Lu Xun, from preface to “Call to Arms,” 1922

A late 2022 postscript: an image of the " A Letter to Young People" printed in the first issue of La Jeunesse, 1915 (see top of thread) at Zhejiang University; and quotes from Lu Xun's "A Madman's Diary" and "Preface," spotted taped to benches on Beijing Languages Academy campus this evening.
Shared on weibo, hat tip to @bokane -
Lu Xun's Madman pierces through all linguistic and societal obfuscation in a single, plain, vernacular sentence:
“Tonight, the moon is bright.”
It has been over a hundred years since #May4th and since the Madman's final diary entry: "救救孩子" - "Save the children."
I have taught Lu Xun's 1918 story so often, including in these subsequent May Fourths since COVID. And the moonlight from a century ago still pierces, then, as now, with the force of revelation.
