The Writing Background of Lu Xun's Fan Ainong

Fan Ainong and the author Lu Xun are fellow villagers. They met Lu Xun when they were studying in Japan. 19 12 years, Fan Ainong drowned, and the author Lu Xun wrote this article to mourn. This article was written in 1926, 1 18 in October, first published in 1926, 125 in February, and later included in the author's prose collection "Flowers in the Morning".

Fan Ainong was a classmate of Lu Xun when he was studying in Japan. At first, Lu Xun had some misunderstandings about him, which led Fan Ainong to deliberately target him. Later, Lu Xun returned to his hometown, found a job as a principal, and met Fan Ainong by chance. They cleared up misunderstandings and often drank and chatted together. Lu Xun's students wrote something about the struggle against reactionaries, demanding that it be published in the name of Lu Xun, and Lu Xun agreed.

Later, when the leaders (reactionaries) saw these documents, they ordered people to arrest Lu Xun. Although Lu Xun was not afraid of this, he had to leave his hometown for Nanjing because of disagreement with students and some struggle factions.

Soon after, Lu Xun learned that Fan Ainong had fallen into the water while swimming with his friends, and suspected that he had committed suicide. Some people say that Fan Ainong is the shadow of Lu Xun, and the article expresses Lu Xun's sigh about Fan Ainong's fate and his criticism of the society at that time.

Extended data

Fan Ainong is one of the typical works of Lu Xun's practice of his own thoughts. It reflects the social situation before and after the Revolution of 1911 and is an ordinary progressive intellectual tragedy.

Only when you have the courage to face yourself can you have the courage to face the world. It was with self-critical guilt that Lu Xun described his initial impression of Fan Ainong: the arrogant attitude of "staring at chickens and insects with white eyes", the "bland" and "cold" and "bizarre" and "sad" expressions in The Analects of Confucius made me very angry and felt that he was not a human being at all. While sketching out the characters, it also exposes its intolerance unabashedly.

Because there is no objective view of Fan Ainong, sincere emotional lines appear in this paper, which promotes the development of narrative. This line is interwoven by two clues. One tells the story of communication with Fan Ainong, and the other expresses the gradual understanding of Fan Ainong.

The former tells the fate of a little person under the background of social changes. Or use concise and vivid sketches to describe their appearance, speech and behavior, and express their character. Or highlight people's inner thoughts and bleak situations through comparison.

The image of an intellectual who is simple, ordinary, upright, Geng Jie, lonely, cowardly, eager for and pursuing revolution, unwilling to go along with the old forces and eventually swallowed up is vividly on the paper.

The latter portrays him and writes about the process of knowing him. The elimination of misunderstanding, friendship, what happened and doubts about the cause of death are full of sincere feelings. This emotion includes both Fan Ainong's deep affection for Lu Xun and Lu Xun's gloomy remorse.
