Rereading Lu Xun's life is like a train, and tomorrow I will tell you that everything is a passer-by.

Everything in the world is changeable and everything is a passer-by of time. There is no permanent possession, only a short harvest.

Tomorrow is a short story written by Lu Xun. It is not a famous article in his whole portfolio, but it explains to us how to face, own and lose correctly through a short story in Luzhen.

Everyone's life is like a winding river, and the water flowing in the river is like our passing life. Sometimes it flows quietly on a flat river bed, sometimes it rolls on a steep bend, and sometimes it flies like a waterfall on a steep cliff; Sometimes it dries up, sometimes it is lush, sometimes it is a lake, and sometimes it is flooded.

It is precisely because life has to go through so many changes that there are internal reasons and external environmental reasons. Mr. Lu Xun knows that a specific type of social problem cannot be solved by sharp criticism alone, so he created tomorrow and told people in a soothing way to be down-to-earth and take it as it is.

As always, the style of the novel is positioned at the bottom people who account for the vast majority of society. It tells the story of a township entrepreneur named Shan Sisao, who showed pain, helplessness and calmness in the face of survival crisis. The miniature version of China society, Luzhen, has simple folk customs and a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere. After a night shift, there are still enterprises brightly lit, working overtime, day and night. Among them, Xianheng Hotel and Shan Sisao's spinning cotton yarn weaving studio are the most diligent. A serious yellow rice wine lover and town villain, with a red nose and an old arch, and a blue skin, can prove this by not hearing Bao Er's crying at night and affecting his interest in drinking.

Mrs. Shan Sisao and the shopkeepers of Xianheng Hotel are optimists, believing that tomorrow will be better, so they work overtime every night to have fun. Lao Gong and Wu are typical carpe diem, hanging out in hotels and restaurants, no matter what he does tomorrow.

To start a business in the sea, there is no system support of a big platform, and the degree of freedom is very sufficient, but entrepreneurs themselves have to face it independently, and it is stormy. This is the case with the self-employed single fourth sister-in-law Her road to making a living by starting her own business can be described as tortuous. Before the family economy improved, the husband in charge of wonton business left the business early and died. The remaining single fourth sister-in-law and three-year-old son Bao Er continue to work hard. After another wave of unrest, the son who has been with him is ill, which is another major survival test for Shan Sisao.

However, Shan Sisao is an optimist and believes that tomorrow will be better. There is such a passage in the novel:

Then Lu Xun added a layer of frost to this psychological self-comfort of Shan Sisao:

The content behind the novel enters the plot that Shan Sisao's life is getting worse and worse because her son is ill.

Bad situations never appear suddenly, but gradually form, which is the normal law of natural development. In order to solve the crisis of her son's illness, Shan Sisao first took her son to the temple to ask for a sign, make a wish and eat a single meal for the sake of expenses. It was useless. The next day, he took his son to He Xiaoxian's private clinic for consultation. Before going out, she took thirteen small silver dollars and one hundred and eighty copper coins, spent fifty silver dollars to buy Dr. He's consultation number, then took the doctor's prescription, went to Jiajia Jiji Jishi Pharmacy to get drugs such as baotai pills, and spent the rest of the money.

Bao Er took the medicine this morning, but his condition didn't improve. In the afternoon, his breathing changed from steady to no. The single fourth sister-in-law watched her son die, helpless, and her voice changed from sobs to howls.

Such a small town story, written as a novel, is named "Tomorrow", and the word "tomorrow" is everyone's expectation for the future. After the death of Shan Sisao's son, Lu Zhenren's various reactions are the most direct interpretation of this term.

Whether tomorrow is beautiful or not is worth looking forward to, not in your happy time now. On the contrary, when you encounter a disaster, you are perceived and judged by the attitude of the people around you and the way you deal with them. If both sides don't deal with it, then tomorrow is definitely a bad tomorrow, at least in this place. I can only leave you here. I have my own place.

Lu Xun mentioned many times in his novels that "Luzhen is a remote place, and there are still some ancient customs. If you don't go to the first shift, everyone will close the door and sleep. " China's "ancient style" mainly refers to the good atmosphere of "Yao Shunyu Tang" in the era of ruling the world. Old people have a sense of security, old people are widowed, old people are lonely, old people have a sense of security, old people have a sense of security, not to mention weddings.

After Bao Er, the son of Sister-in-law Shan Temple, died, the people of Luzhen did not stand idly by. Wang Jiuma, Xian Heng, the shopkeeper, the old arch with red nose and Ah Wu with blue skin, all the neighbors who met her took the initiative to help with the funeral. Wang Jiuma, the oldest, was in charge and had a pile of paper money burned. Then, in view of the poverty of the single family, she borrowed two silver dollars, matched two benches and five clothes, and prepared meals for those who came to help.

As for the coffin, it was a pair of silver earrings and a gold-covered silver hairpin from Sister-in-law Shan, which was guaranteed by the shopkeeper of Xianheng Hotel. She ordered a bite in the coffin shop, half in cash and half on credit.

When he was buried the next day, the shopkeeper in Xianheng hired two porters to carry the coffin, and each worker paid 2 10 copper coins. A funeral was held until the evening, until Aunt Wang took pains to cook a meal and gave it to the helper.

The description in the second half of the whole novel is basically the story of villagers coming to help with the funeral in the countryside. It is obviously too narrow to study these descriptions only from the perspective of watching the funeral and understanding the funeral customs in Luzhen. If this is the only writing purpose, then this novel is not written by Lu Xun. In the novel Tomorrow, the author is of great significance, and you can't taste it without careful study.

At Bauer's funeral, these neighbors were Mr. Lu Xun, a carefully selected representative.

Mother Wang is a virtuous old man. Her good virtue of helping others on weekdays won the respect of the people in the town, so she stood up and everyone obeyed. The shopkeeper of Xianheng Hotel is a small businessman, who has been doing hotel business for many years, with few assets and a good economic position in Luzhen. Lao Gong with a red nose and Wu with a blue skin are two gangsters mixed in the street. At ordinary times, they just play cards and gamble, make a living by lending and collecting accounts, and drink and sing in Xianheng Hotel all day. Actually, they are looking for customers.

If divided by class composition, these people are representatives of different economic status in the civilian class. According to her age, Wang Jiuma should have retired for many years, enjoying comfort at home and living on a pension, but the pension will not be too much, so she can be classified as a middle peasant. The shopkeeper in Xianheng, with much better economic conditions, hired a person and often worked night shifts to make money. His assets are abundant and can be classified as middle peasants or rich peasants. Lao Gong and Wu are two freelancers, whose income should be unstable, and they are advocates and practitioners of just-in-time hedonism. They live a life called "drink today, eat tomorrow"! Of course, the economic situation is not much better, and it can be classified as poor peasants at the lower level. Single four sister-in-law even invited people to dinner, but also borrowed money, half cash and half credit to buy coffins. It is conceivable that the financial situation of textile mills is very poor and they belong to poor peasants.

People who are both proletarians, if one side is in trouble, help each other in many ways. What a good ecological environment of human society. Is it close to "providing for the old, providing for the old, providing for the old" advocated in Antique? !

In order to enhance the credibility of "there are still some ancient styles", Lu Xun also added a gray line of grass snakes, which is a bit chivalrous and helps Shan Sisao hold the children. However, she didn't take advantage to buy her a coffin. She promised to carry the coffin the next day, but she was cool. This is the villain's bad habit, but also the true embodiment of imperfect human nature.

Living in Luzhen, a place with some ancient customs, even if there is a disaster, with the mutual help and warm love of neighbors, tomorrow's life, if not very happy, will not be too bad. Therefore, after the death of her son, Sisao Shan did not continue to feel sad and could not extricate herself. But fell asleep after emotional recovery, and went to see Bao Er in his sleep.

Luzhen is the epitome of China society at that time, which was invented by Lu Xun. In this small town, there were many people and many things happened, most of them were locked up, sad, numb and indifferent, disgusting and despicable. Why did the good fourth sister-in-law recover from decadence and sadness and continue to rush about for tomorrow when she clearly suffered a disastrous blow from her first husband and then her son?

Luzhen is a remote place with some ancient customs, isn't it?

It is important to have a good social environment, but being in the same environment does not guarantee that everyone can live a good life. Such examples can also be found in many peacetime of our modern society. Don't blame the government, don't blame society for making your life difficult, find the reason from yourself. Introspection can lead to self-discipline, self-discipline can lead to self-improvement, and self-improvement can last.

Let's analyze and take a closer look at how San Sisao is introspective, self-disciplined, self-reliant and tireless in Luzhen.

Born in the lower poor peasant class, Shan Sisao is an ambitious rural young woman who is unwilling to engage in extensive agricultural production (perhaps because of the lack of land and other means of production, she can't make ends meet) and comes to work in Luzhen. With a little savings, my husband and I started our own businesses. Mrs. Shan Sisao opened a spinning and weaving studio, and her husband set up a stall to sell wonton. Husband and wife are partners, and the overall family economic situation is developing in a good direction, which is also recognized by the civilian class in the town.

The measure of a person's success is not the height of his summit, but his resilience when he falls into a trough. The reason why Sisao Shan can survive several times in the poor social living environment at that time, and still live to tomorrow, depends on the strong rebound of this trough on herself.

One cannot succeed casually, nor can one live casually. Existence is truth, and naturally it has its reasons. The integrity of the core of the survival defense circle determines that Shan Sisao can be broken and unbeaten, defeated and immortal, and there is still tomorrow. After the bankruptcy of rural land management, Shan Sisao and his wife came to work in cities and towns through introspection. Diligent and studious, through strict self-discipline, they quickly mastered new production skills, Shan Sisao learned to spin, and Shan Sisao's husband learned to sell wonton. Then, the two ended their working life and started their own self-improvement. Men sell wonton, and women spin and weave at home. Although it is a small entrepreneurial project with short cycle, small team, light marketing and low cost, the success probability of the husband-and-wife file is the highest (much more reliable than those so-called key big projects that do superficial things, stress ostentation and extravagance, and stress scale)-a large number of examples at home and abroad can prove that anyone who has experienced this value multiplication cycle can accept and face the gifts and disasters given by fate in a reasonable and restrained way.

After mourning the death of her husband, the breadwinner of the family, Mrs. Shansi quickly rallied, cut off the wonton business and concentrated on spinning and weaving with her son Bao Er (the novel did not explain how she resolved the crisis of bereavement). When the single fourth sister-in-law is facing the crisis of bereavement, the novel spends a lot of space to explain the specific solution process of each problem.

Bao Er is ill and needs to see a doctor and take medicine. Sister-in-law Shan took out her savings of thirteen small silver dollars and one hundred and eighty copper coins (savings deposits are very important in the family economy and are the first firewall when you face a crisis). After Bao Er's death, a funeral was held. Mrs. Wang used two benches and five clothes of Mrs. Shan Sisao's house as substitutes and borrowed two silver dollars to prepare meals (timely purchase of family fixed assets is the second firewall to face the crisis). The purchase and employment of coffins and coffin bearers are all done by Shan Sisao with her own silver earrings and gold and silver hairpin, with the help of Xianheng shopkeeper. It is very important to buy expensive gold and silver jewelry for your wife in the period of loose family economy. ).

These micro-operations seem trivial and dismissive, and the sparrow is small and complete. If something goes wrong in each link, the whole system program will not be executed. All these reflect the endurance of the integrity of the core defense circle that Shan Sisao has painstakingly managed for many years. Obviously, in the face of such a huge blow to the fate of losing her husband and children, Shan Sisao's inner suffering is very painful and hard, but in the end, she survived, made unremitting efforts, and had a tomorrow.

People should humiliate others, insult others, and strive for self-improvement and help others. In Luzhen, a miniature version of China secular society, this eternal iron law is also being interpreted. The tenacity of a person's viability never falls from the sky, but depends on bravely facing and solving specific problems encountered in life, and getting exercise and gradual accumulation in the process. Although these problems are trivial and embarrassing for ordinary people, how can we talk about "inspirational words, pointing out the country, dirt was Wan Huhou in those days" if we can't handle them well?

Love depends on loyalty, family depends on management and career depends on struggle. Success will not come by itself. However, today's struggle will definitely shorten the distance with it. "Tomorrow" is Mr. Lu Xun's vision for the future and a tenacious tribute to ordinary people. Life is like a rumbling train. People will get on and off at every station. No one can guarantee that they will always accompany you to the end. Yesterday may be beautiful, and the past is over. Let that beauty stay in your memory and become a landscape. Open your heart to meet tomorrow, and there are better things to accept tomorrow.
