The annual Tomb Sweeping Festival arrived, and with the arrival of the midnight bell, I bowed three times to the southwest to pay homage to the 132 compatriots who had never known each other in the "3.21" air crash, although I did not know them, unless I did not know that this was happening, and since I knew that there was such a thing, I could not do anything, this was the only thing I could do.
Every year on the Qingming Festival, I go to the Lu Xun Memorial Hall as usual to pay homage to Mr. Lu Xun, a habit that began in 2015 and is now in its 8th year. Every year, I pay homage to Mr. Lu Xun, and he will give me a new insight. Last year, Mr. Lu Xun made me realize that the problems he failed to solve could be solved through my profession, and I began to study game theory; this year, Mr. Lu Xun gave me a new understanding of the concept of life.
1 Caring for life is a "nature"
Before I set off, I deliberately read two short stories from Scream: Rabbit and Cat and Duck Comedy. These two short stories, when I originally read them, had an idea of "evolution", why rabbits are eaten by cats, why small tadpoles are eaten by ducks, which is rooted in "evolution". However, when I understood Lu Xun's outlook on life, I had a different idea.
Both novels express the disappearance of these weak lives, but Lu Xun feels remorse for his inability to do anything. Two living rabbits were eaten alive by the big black cat; the tadpoles in the pond, which had grown legs and were ready to become frogs, were eaten by ducks, which made us feel the same way and regret the lost life. What made Lu Xun feel sad was that these lost lives, since they disappeared, had no sense of existence. As time washed away, everything acted as if it had never happened.
Then dig deeper into the reason, that is, "the Creator has made life too indiscriminate, destroyed too much", to put it in layman's terms, because "too much is not worth paying attention to". In fact, in addition to the victims of the "3.21" air crash, many people leave this world every day, but the vast majority of people leave silently when they leave, leaving nothing behind, except for their relatives, no one realizes.
Why do others have "no feeling" for this, but Lu Xun cares so much about these lives that have quietly passed away? In fact, as a normal person, unless you don't see it, you will not feel better when you see the innocent disappearance of a life, which may be a kind of nature. It is a loving nature, like the care of parents for their offspring, instinctively. No parent needs someone else to educate and love their children more, because this love is born.
At the same time, it is not difficult to understand why we feel sad for our compatriots who died in the "3.21" air disaster. It's also an instinct of ours, no one ever asks us to do it, but we do it spontaneously.
2 Express dissatisfaction with acts that trample on life
Although caring for life is a human nature, "the world is big, there are no wonders", trampling on the lives of others is very common, and this behavior can also be "beautified".
In "Remembering Liu hezhen jun", Lu Xun praised Liu Hezhen and others for being positive and not afraid of power, but also condemned the enemy's arbitrary trampling on life. We look at the scene of that year, Liu and Zhen and others are girls, and unarmed, what threat can they pose to society? However, he was brutally tortured and killed by the big masters with weapons! The strength is so disparity, it is difficult to imagine how they can get their hands on it? If it is only torture and killing, but also to put them on the charge of "false accusations", so as to prove that their abuse and killing are justified and justified, it is their fault, that is what Lu Xun is most difficult to accept.
Let's go back to the present day, do you remember this case of Jiang Ge? We can think that Liu Xin is certainly hateful, but she may not be the biggest perpetrator. Although Liu Xin's attitude to people is to die without repentance, on the other hand, who gave Liu Xin such a big stage of "sacrificing ugliness"? Of course, there are still more people who support her intentionally or unintentionally. Since Jiang Ge's death was already a fact, this injury was already fixed for Jiang Ge's mother. Over time, this thing gradually faded out of our vision.
However, some self-media authors did not give up, in order to increase their own traffic and attention, dig it up again and re-mention the old thing, which is tantamount to pouring salt on the wound of Jiang Ge's mother. What is more terrible than forgetting is to continue to consume the deceased, eat the blood of the deceased, and cause secondary harm.
3 What can we do?
In dealing with the arbitrary trampling of life, Lu Xun has always adopted a resolute attitude of resistance. At the end of "Rabbit and Cat", he takes a look at potassium cyanate placed in the corner, which means to take revenge on the big black cat.
So, what kind of defiant attitude should we adopt towards this kind of trampling on life? First of all, saving one's own life is the most important thing. In "For the Remembrance of Forgetting", when he learned that Roushi and other young people were taken away, Lu Xun fled the land of right and wrong for the first time. What does this mean? Just imagine, if Lu Xun did not flee and protect himself at that time, would we still be able to see Lu Xun's works in the future? Only by protecting yourself can you continue to shoot with a pen. Therefore, resistance is not to hit the stone with a pebble, but to "fight if you can win, and run if you can't win."
Then, it is necessary to evaluate the strength of yourself and the other party, as well as the possible consequences of the rebellion. The reason I've been studying game theory is because I know that game theory can make a prediction before we do anything. If I do this, what kind of results may be brought about, and can I accept this result? In fact, Lu Xun saw that there were too many young people who died in death, they should have been the pillars of the country, and such a senseless sacrifice was too worthwhile. Let's imagine, if these forty or so young people of Beijing Normal University first made a decision-making tree of "looking forward and reasoning backward" before petitioning, would they still be able to send them to their deaths?
So, does that mean not making sacrifices? This is not necessarily true, the key is to see if your sacrifice is worth it. Your own life is a cost, and it is the biggest cost, what is worth making you pay this huge cost in exchange? To others, your life may be worthless, and your sacrifice will soon be forgotten, but for yourself, your life is all you have. So, always ask yourself, is this thing worth the price of my life?
Of course, there will also be some people with ulterior motives who will use the words of "great love and selflessness" and "sacrificing the small self to achieve the great self" in the form of moral kidnapping to incite people to go to the soup and the fire. Think of it another way, would we tempt others to make any sacrifices? As a normal person, of course, it is impossible, and unless he insists on doing so himself, we have no right to dissuade him. Since we will not persuade others to sacrifice, whoever persuades us to take the initiative to make sacrifices must have ulterior motives, so we have to guard against it. Lu Xun said it well: "People who are alive do not have the right to persuade others to die, if you yourself think that death is good, then please go first." ”
