China's modern era has grown up in the tempering of blood and fire, and China's modern history is the history of democratic exploration Chinese people exploring the road to national salvation and realizing freedom. In this history of more than one hundred years, through the efforts of countless benevolent people, the Chinese nation has successfully resisted imperialist aggression, overthrown the three mountains that oppressed the people, and achieved national liberation.
These martyrs shouted and cried out in the darkness, awakening a nation and lighting a light in the darkness to guide us on the road to revival.
"Horizontal eyebrows are cold to a thousand fingers, and bow down to be a widow cow." Mr. Lu Xun has always been regarded as the founder of China's new modern literature, and his literary works have stung the nerves of many people at that time and awakened countless benevolent people.
Cynical and compassionate is the best portrayal of him, as a literary giant, Mr. Lu Xun has always been the benchmark of countless literati.
"Cuibai Lingxiao rolls up the vulgar, back to the Dragon Mountain by Yilongcai." If Mr. Lu Xun uses literary works to awaken the Chinese people, then Mr. Li Siguang, as a master of geology, is one of the many pioneers who led the nation forward, and he has made great contributions to the development of Chinese geology and mineral resources.
A literary giant, a geological expert, should not have any intersection, but Lu Xun wrote an article scolding Li Siguang, a celebrity who is very different in the two fields, why should he hate?
The origin of "hate"
"The words are full of poison, and the laughter is full of knives." Mr. Lu Xun's writing is sharp, often attacking darkness and exposing ugliness, and many literary scholars in the modern literary world have been satirized by Lu Xun in his articles.
But not unprovoked satire, most of which are well-founded and point directly to the human heart. But Li Siguang is different from the literati in the literary world, he is an excellent geologist, why should Lu Xun attack Li Siguang for no reason?
In that era of waste and waiting to be rebuilt, all walks of life in China were facing tremendous difficulties. In the difficult period when all talents were needed, Mr. Li Siguang resolutely gave up his high-paying job abroad and returned to China.
After the founding of New China, scientists such as Li Siguang, Qian Xuesen, and Qian Sanqiang made great contributions to the development of science and technology in New China. Prior to this, due to the limited conditions in China at that time, he could only engage in geological related research.
From this point of view, Mr. Li Siguang is a very great patriotic scientist, and even if Mr. Lu Xun writes an article, he should greatly appreciate Mr. Li Siguang.
Misunderstanding caused by "money"
People who know Mr. Lu Xun should know that promoting righteousness and attacking darkness is the constant theme of Mr. Lu Xun, and naturally will not scold Mr. Li Siguang because of his personal vendetta. In fact, the contradiction between them only originated from the word "money." "But this money is neither Mr. Lu Xun's nor Mr. Li Siguang's."
In the 10s of the last century, Li Siguang returned to China after studying abroad and was hired as a professor at Beijing University of Geosciences a few years later. At that time, the country was in short supply of materials, but after all, he was a professor at a famous university, Li Siguang's monthly salary could still be several hundred yuan and he also had a part-time job in the library, although it was far less than his monthly salary abroad, but in China at that time, it was a very large number.
Mr. Lu Xun, who was also in Beiping, was very angry when he heard the news, so he wrote an article and began to scold Li Siguang. In this way, the contradiction between Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Li Siguang is indeed born of money.
But none of this money is for themselves. When many people did not have enough to eat, Mr. Li Siguang had a salary of several hundred yuan a month, and at that time, ten yuan could feed a person for a month.
It is no wonder that Mr. Lu Xun was not angry in his heart and wrote an article to scold Mr. Li Siguang. But Mr. Li Siguang did not "get" this money, not because he did not send it, but because Mr. Li Siguang donated most of this money to the library to buy books.
Mr. Lu Xun sympathized with the toiling public and wrote articles to scold Mr. Li Siguang, who was keen on scholarship and donated his monthly salary. These two things are not wrong, but Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Li Siguang are not familiar with each other, and the two have no intersection at all. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun did not know about Li Siguang's monthly salary donation.
Although Mr. Li Siguang has a well-paid job, the savings of the two are actually almost the same. The communication barrier between the two led to Mr. Li Siguang being very dissatisfied with Mr. Lu Xun's unwarranted difficulties.
So he asked Xu Zhimo to write an article to respond to Lu Xun, but how could Lu Xun, who had been fighting with his pen, back down, not only that, he also scolded Xu Zhimo who helped. However, this incident is actually unreasonable by Mr. Lu Xun, so Mr. Li Siguang asked someone to write an article to respond, but after that, he no longer used the article to "return the mouth".
Fuse - Yang Yinyu
The cause of the controversy in this time was one person, Yang Yinyu. This person was the first female university president in China, and indeed had a patriotic heart, but when she was the president of Beijing Women's Normal University, she was dictatorial and arbitrary, and implemented high-pressure measures to suppress students' progressive ideas. The most hateful thing is that Yang Yinyu also colluded with the government to brutally suppress the students' revolutionary movement.
This also directly led to the "March 18 Massacre", which killed 47 people, including Liu hezhen of Beijing Women's Normal University. Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo, Liang Qichao, and many other Chinese intellectuals denounced the Duan Qirui government at the time.
As an accomplice, Yang Yinyu was naturally shouted and beaten by everyone, and the students of the girls' school demanded that Yang Yinyu be deposed, and Mr. Lu Xun expressed his dissatisfaction with Yang Yinyu's dictatorship in the article "In Memory of Liu and Zhenjun".
Mr. Lu Xun has a clear love and hatred, and his position on this matter is very clear. Yang Yinyu, who did not want to end it, finally found Li Siguang through multiple layers of relationships, and Li Siguang neither supported nor opposed it.
Yang Yinyu, who was unable to enter the campus at that time, invited Mr. Li Siguang to Beijing Women's Normal University on the pretext of discussing something. In fact, he wanted to enter the campus in the name of Mr. Li Siguang, which allowed Yang Yinyu to use means to continue to suppress progressive students.
This incident also made Mr. Li Siguang regarded as Yang Yinyu's minions by the excited students.
Mr. Lu Xun has always supported the students' progressive movement and has always been hostile to Yang Yinyu's authoritarian style. The "March 18 Massacre" made Mr. Lu Xun's dissatisfaction with Yang Yinyu reach the extreme.
As a "Yang Yinyu minion" Li Siguang was naturally named and scolded by Mr. Lu Xun. And Li Siguang clarified it once on the Internet, and then he no longer responded. Just as there is no gratuitous hatred, Mr. Li Siguang and Mr. Lu Xun's Liang Zi also ended here.
brief summary
A literati, a geologist. Both were great men at that time, but unfortunately, they were not a good story of sympathy for each other, but an intolerable confrontation and dispute. But as the old saying goes, "Gold is not barefoot, no one is perfect." "Everyone has their own flaws, even great men. The dispute between Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Li Siguang was originally a misunderstanding, but it gradually evolved into a situation of mutual opposition.
Mr. Lu Xun cares about the people, and it is a good thing to speak out for the sufferings of the people, but he is too impulsive to misunderstand Mr. Li Siguang. In the face of the authoritarian regime, he spoke out for the students as a fighter for democracy, attacking the darkness of the government. Mr. Lu Xun is a true warrior, a torchbearer who illuminates darkness.
Mr. Li Siguang is praised for his dedication to science and does not forget to care for the public, he is not only an excellent scientific research worker, but also a pure son who loves the motherland, and will hand over a piece of Dan heart and enthusiasm to the motherland. But he did inadvertently help the dictatorship.
But the reason why great men are great people is not because of how perfect they are, but because no matter how great they are, they all have their own shortcomings, more or less, which make their image more vivid. The misunderstanding between Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Li Siguang can only be explained one-sidedly after all, and the real twists and turns of the world are not clear.
Now that we look at the story of the two of them, we can see from it that man is not perfect. And the small episodes between them did not affect the development of the two in their respective fields. They have all made outstanding contributions to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and history will always remember their exploits.
