What did Lu Xun satirize in Twenty-four Filial Pieties?

Lu Xun disliked and satirized the stories of "Lailai Entertainer" (also known as "Painted Entertainer") and "Guo Ju Buried the Son".

Mr. Lu Xun once wrote an article "Twenty-four filial piety pictures" in the collection of essays recalling the past, and he evaluated the "Twenty-four filial piety pictures". He said that some stories can be imitated reluctantly, some will be in danger of losing their lives, and some will make people very disgusted.

He said, "Among them, the two things that puzzled me the most, even made me sick, were' Lao Lai entertaining relatives' and' Guo Ju burying children'. "

He believes that the story of "Lao Lai entertaining relatives" is "just like this, it is simply pretending to insult the children", and "Mr. Daoism died in the children's heart when he thought he was impeccable".

And "Guo Ju buried his son," he thought, "but I'm not only afraid to be a dutiful son myself, but also afraid of my father being a dutiful son.".
