What Lu Xun Struggled With All His Life

What Lu Xun Struggled With All His Life

The lifelong struggle of Lu Xun was this: until his final breath, he wrestled with the challenge of transforming a degraded and stagnant national spirit. It was no easy task, nor something one man could shoulder alone. That is why he fought without pause until the end. In that sense, before he was a writer, Lu Xun was a warrior.

Yes, we too need warriors. Warriors who burn themselves out for noble dreams and righteous battles. If China had Lu Xun, then who do we have? Names from modern history come to mind, like Kim Gu and many others who lived as warriors. And then I wonder—who are the warriors of our own time? The question lingers, and it makes me reflect deeply.
