Iron House Scream

《Mr. Lu Xun》The fourth episode of "Iron House Scream" deeply explores Mr. Lu Xun's literary ideas and his profound insights into society.The title of this episode comes from Lu Xun's famous metaphor - “Iron House”, which symbolizes the closedness and repression of Chinese society at that time, while “Shout” represents Lu Xun's efforts to awaken the people and break this closed state.

This episode starts with the “Iron House” metaphor in the preface - Scream - and tells about Lu Xun's deep expectations for national awakening and concerns about the national mental state.Through the analysis of works such as "Diary of a Madman" and "Medicine", it is shown how Lu Xun revealed the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics and the insensitivity of the people through literary works.The perspective of a madman in "Diary of a Madman" reveals the cruelty of society and the distortion of human nature, while "Medicine" criticizes the ignorance and indifference of the people through the symbol of human blood steamed buns.

The conversation between Lu Xun and Qian Xuantong, and the discussion about Iron House, may be particularly emphasized in this episode, reflecting Lu Xun's ambivalence about enlightenment and redemption.He is well aware of the difficulty of awakening the people, but even if the hope is slim, he still chooses to cry out, hoping that through the power of literature, he can awaken at least some people, even if they are facing cruel reality.

Discuss Lu Xun's activities in magazines such as "New Youth" and how he continued to criticize social injustice and old ideas through essays and novels, showing his fighting stance as a thinker and writer.Lu Xun's "cry" is not only a literary act, but also a manifestation of social responsibility. He hopes to inspire social self-examination and reform.
