There's been a lot of news lately. I'm really upset. I don't know what to say, and I can't say anything.
I thought of Lu Xun. Lu Xun is the backbone of our Chinese nation.
In the first half of the 20th century, the era of war. When the international organizations saw Lu Xun's works, they came to China to give Lu Xun the Nobel Prize for Literature.
But Lu Xun refused. Because he thought he was just a writer. What he has done is nothing compared to the thousands of men and women who have given their lives in battle to protect our country.
I remember the first time I saw this in a book, I cried.

Lu Xun's birthday and mine are only one day apart. It's my pleasure. I have the audacity to speculate. I think I might understand Lu Xun's idea a little bit.
To be honest, I still cry when I talk about it.
A lot of people are unemployed, a lot of people have no income, a lot of people have nowhere else to go. These things are now common. Everybody's having a hard time. Everybody's struggling. I feel really, really tired. Everyone seemed to be going mad, or had gone mad. But we can only be silent.
Lu Xun, we miss you so much. We really, really miss you.
Since ancient times, our country has had people who work hard, people who risk their lives to do something, people who take the initiative to shoulder the mission for the sake of the people, people who sacrifice their lives to seek justice...Alhough they were regarded as "the official history" by emperors, generals, ministers, officials, and writers, but these often don't obscure their glory. This is the backbone of China.
