Love is a state of mind, so that the spirit can be attached and there must be material existence. People live to let the material foundation exist, so love can be attached.
Only when material life allows, can love bloom its beauty. Love can't exist without material foundation. The ancients said: warm and lewd! Only when food and clothing are solved can we have the mood and energy to enjoy it. Love is the most extravagant enjoyment. Which classic love is not based on sufficient material? At least I haven't heard of a beggar's happy love story. Most of those beautiful love stories are of the type of princes and princesses. Sad and beautiful love, half has a material basis, and the other half is strangled because there is no material basis.
Second, the introduction of the work:
Regret for the Past, as Lu Xun's only novel with the theme of love and marriage between young men and women, is extremely sad and enduring. In the narrative way, the work adopts the form of "Juansheng Notes", and tells the sad and heartbreaking love story of Juansheng with his memories. In the narrative process, Juan Sheng's comments and lyricism are constantly interspersed. This way of writing has caused the double effects of the novel: first, it truly describes the emotional course and tragic ending of Juansheng and Zijun, making the story expressed in the work clear and complete; Second, the hero's comments and lyricism greatly enhanced the ideological and emotional strength of the work, highlighted Juansheng's deep remorse and remorse, aggravated the tragedy of the story and deepened the appeal of the ideological connotation of the work.
Third, the synopsis of the story:
Juansheng was baptized by the May 4th Movement and was dissatisfied with the ruling class at that time, but he could not break with the society. He laughed at himself: I work in the Education Bureau, just like a bird in the hands of a bird dealer ... I am afraid that after a long time, my wings will be paralyzed and I will forget to fly in the future. He feels lonely, empty and lonely. At this time, Zijun came into his life.
Zijun is a rebellious woman. She won Juansheng's love with a firm attitude and brave spirit when she pursued the liberation of personality and broke through the feudal family cage. Regardless of social ridicule and gossip, they came together resolutely. Although the living conditions are not comfortable, two hearts are immersed in love and have a short and happy life. However, after all, they have no experience, and they don't understand that it is impossible to have a long, happy and peaceful life in a dark feudal society.
Ruthless reality, let them fall into difficulties and contradictions, followed by: busy housework; Love gradually stagnates and solidifies due to lack of new nourishment; Coupled with the differences in personality and thought between the two people, some friction occurred. The more serious blow is that they can't be allowed by the feudal forces of society to go beyond the norm, which eventually leads to Juansheng being removed from the post of Education Bureau.
Juansheng once hoped to live by his own translation work and writings, but he was soon mocked by reality. Facing the dark society and indifferent family, Juansheng realized that they were immersed in blind love and completely ignored the essence of life. He is determined to seek a new way of life while his wings are still moving, but he still doesn't know much about this road.
Juansheng's change aroused Zijun's suspicion; Zijun's temptation in love caused Juansheng's troubles and pains, forcing him to analyze their misfortune of living together for half a year, indicating that their blind love life should be over. Zijun, who showed courage and generated personality sparks for seeking love and happiness, eventually died of the limitations of the times, the disillusionment of love, and the cold eyes of others who have experienced wind and frost.
After Zijun's death, Juansheng fell into extreme grief and hatred of the ending. He accused himself of being a coward and denounced that Zijun should not be allowed to complete the journey of life with a heavy burden in despair. Juansheng made a firm confession after the death of the sad Zijun: "I want to take the first step towards a new life. I want to hide the truth deeply in the trauma of my heart, move forward silently, and take forgetting and lies as the guide. "
