"Just make excuses for yourself." Fang Zecai didn't believe that Lu Xun smoked to find inspiration, but it was just a habit that couldn't be changed.
"Haha." Fang Ze saw through Lu Xun's excuse and said with a smile, "If a person knows what is wrong and corrects it, then this person must be the greatest person in the world. But mediocre ordinary people like us Isn’t it normal for people to do something even though they know it’s wrong?”
"If you are an ordinary person, then there are few people in this world who can be called the greatest."
"In fact, the world does not lack great people, but perfect people." Lu Xun said, "The greater the person, the more keen people are to find his shortcomings."
"But this does not hinder their greatness, right?" Fang Ze clapped his hands and said, "I think of a sentence you wrote, a warrior with shortcomings is still a warrior after all, and a perfect fly is just a fly after all."
"I wrote this sentence cheerfully at the time, but now it seems that it is at least half right."
"Why do you say that."
"Because most of the time people can't tell the difference between flies and soldiers, so if this sentence is completely correct, it is inevitable that no one will use this sentence to excuse some flies."
"So actually the root of the problem is that most people can't tell the difference between flies and soldiers, right?"
"In fact, unless this person has been dead for many years and his life has been thoroughly studied by everyone, no one can be sure whether a person is a warrior or a fly." Lu Xun took a long puff of cigarette, and then said with a bit of joking, "Today After reading a lot of news on your tablet, I am even more certain that if I were born in this era, I would definitely be an ordinary doctor. If I insist on being a writer or critic, I will definitely be infamous."
"Why?" Fang Ze asked puzzledly.
"Because what will make me headlines at that time will definitely not be what articles I wrote, but: the famous writer Lu Xun was exposed to have cheated on him during marriage, and he married his own female student and abandoned his ex-wife."
Lu Xun's rhetorical tactics made Fang Ze stunned for three seconds before he realized what he was saying, and then burst into laughter.
Indeed, if Lu Xun had been born in modern times, he would have been transformed from a soldier into a fly by the media.
In anyone's life, they will be forced to do things they don't want to do but have to do because of the social environment. Some of these things may not seem wrong at the time, but they look very bad to people later.
Just like Lu Xun’s divorce.
If it happened in modern times, he would definitely be criticized as a scumbag.
Even though this wife had never met Lu Xun before getting married, and Lu Xun was deceived by his mother into pretending to be ill and came back from Neon to worship. It was originally a feudal arranged marriage.
It's okay if the woman is the daughter of a big family. Even if the divorce will hurt some face, life can still be lived after the divorce. For example, Zhang Youyi can wake up and become a new woman as usual.
But this woman named Zhu An happened to be a country girl. After divorce, under the social environment at that time, a miserable end was foreseeable.
Nowadays, if you break up, you will definitely be called a scumbag. If you don't break up, you will only miss it silently when you encounter true love.
Fortunately, that was not the case now. There were waves of opposition to arranged marriages in literary circles, so when Lu Xun later married Xu Guangping, no one slandered him because of it.
Besides, Lu Xun is not like the real scumbag Xu Zhimo, who only thought of getting a divorce after getting pregnant. After his death, his wife still relied on the support of his ex-wife so that his wife could survive.
But after all, Zhu An was not Luo Yixiu who died of illness early. Although Lu Xun did not recognize the marriage, it still could not cover up the fact that Zhu An had been alone all his life.
If this matter were to be known by the majority of self-media now, then as long as they activate the skill of "one picture at the beginning, the story depends entirely on making up", Lu Xun would be a little more troubled even if his character is not ruined.
But fortunately, for people like Lu Xun, there is basically no real evidence. At most, there are only a few rumors, so there is no need to worry about being like a certain singer or a certain anchor, who will completely stink on the street.
Not only Lu Xun, but also all the masters of the Republic of China were full of black spots.
Take Hu Shi, for example. The first time he made headlines was "The diary of the president of Peking University was exposed, he plays cards every day and has no intention of working." The second time it was about falsifying academic qualifications, and the third time it was about prostitution. By then all the black spots will be picked out bit by bit.
"So there are no masters in our era. The reason is not that there are no masters, but that the masters have been turned into flies."
"That's not the case." Lu Xun shook his head and said, "In our era, there were only a few people who read well, and even fewer people who read well. But every era has to praise some people, and those who read well will naturally be praised. Touted as a master.”
"Only you can say this."
After returning home and having a simple dinner, Lu Xun went to the balcony to read again.
Fang Ze watched Lu Xun pack one pack of cigarettes after another, so he simply went out and bought a good electronic cigarette, and then handed it to Lu Xun.
After Lu Xun listened to Fang Ze's introduction, he did not refuse. He tried it out and then immersed himself in the sea of books again.
Fang Ze looked at Lu Xun and felt that what he needed was not a cigarette, but something in his mouth.
Fang Ze wanted to buy some lollipops for this great writer and let him hold them in his mouth and take a photo, but after all, Fang Ze didn't have the guts to turn his idea into reality.
Early the next morning, Fang Ze and Lu Xun arrived at Lin Jingxuan's studio again.
At noon, Sister Qi's daughter Xiaorui also came to the studio to meet her mother to have lunch together.
"Xiao Rui'er." Fang Ze shouted, "Did you get full marks for the question Uncle Zhou taught you yesterday?"
"No." Xiao Ruier pouted and said, "The teacher criticized me and said that my reading level has dropped again."
Lu Xun listened to Xiao Ruier's words and was a little surprised, and asked, "What is the standard answer?"
Xiao Rui'er gave Lu Xun the answer given by the teacher, and then went out to eat with Sister Qi. Lu Xun held the answers to the paper, read the standard answers, was stunned for a moment, and then read them again.
Fang Ze saw that Lin Jingxuan went to look for Yu Xiao in the bedroom, so he directly asked Lu Xun, "How is it going? What do you think?"
"So that's what I thought." Lu Xun held his forehead and said speechlessly.
"Don't worry about this question for now." Fang Ze looked at Lu Xun and said, "Do you remember that you have an article with a sentence called: There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree and the other is also jujube."
