In 1925, a well-dressed man was dipping steamed buns in blood, and on the ground lay a recently executed prisoner. It seems that Lu Xun wrote the novel "Medicine", writing about the use of human blood steamed buns to treat lung diseases is not a figment of thin air, it is indeed derived from life.

In the old days, folk superstitions believed that human blood steamed buns could cure tuberculosis, which was tuberculosis. In the Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is clearly written that he opposes the use of human blood into medicine, but there are still many people who do not understand medical science who use human blood steamed buns to treat tuberculosis.

Lu Xun wrote in the novel "Medicine": "The man had a large hand and spread it out to him; in the other hand, he held a bright red bun, and the red one was still dripping down little by little." The old bolt hurriedly felt out the foreign money, trembling and wanting to hand it to him, but did not dare to pick up his things. ”

Lu Xun is indeed a first-class literary award, and he does not directly describe this person's bloody steamed buns, but writes the bloody steamed buns through the side of the old plug's behavior.

However, this person's blood steamed bun did not save Xiao Tuo's tuberculosis, and Xiao Tuo ate this steamed bun, with the hope of his parents, and eventually died.

In order to cure his son's tuberculosis, Hua Laotao went to the street in the middle of the night to buy human blood steamed buns, and he was not the only one who bought human blood steamed buns - they "cooperated a bunch, and the tide generally rushed forward." Behind the ignorance and numbness of these people is the reality of being isolated and helpless in the face of disease.

In "The Age of Awakening", when Lu Xun appeared, there was a scene where many people spent money to buy people's blood steamed buns, because it was too bloody, when this scene appeared, the picture changed from color to black and white. Remember that?

The ignorance of the poor man makes him wonder whether to blame or pity. Presumably, when Lu Xun wrote this novel, his heart was also complicated. #Lu Xun ##觉醒年代 #
