In the Republic of China period, studying medicine seems to be a very good way, whether it is a prosperous or desolate year, the doctor can have his place wherever he goes with his ability to cure diseases and save people.
But in that era, some doctors were seeking a living to study medicine, and some wanted to save the lives of the people with their own medical skills, and had a dream of "saving the dawn of the world".
However, the society at that time did not get rid of the reality of weakness, and in order to save the dawn of life, the strength of a person was placed there, and it was even more "a cup of water".
As a result, among this group of medical students, there began to appear changedoers, and Sun Yat-sen and Lu Xun were one of them.
The transformation of doctors
Sun Yat-sen was also a Western doctor, and with this craft he could have eaten and clothed without worry. However, with the "Opium War" and the invasion of the great powers, the doctors had no way to save the nation, so he gave up the cause of doctors and went to the "country of medicine".
Only by overthrowing the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty and establishing a democratic republic can we fundamentally get rid of the embarrassing situation of being wantonly bullied.
Another doctor who changed careers was Lu Xun. Lu Xun originally went to Japan to study medicine, but only a year later he dropped out.
In response to this change, Lu Xun mentioned the reason in the article "Mr. Fujino". When the Russo-Japanese War broke out, some of the Chinese people actually worked as detectives for Tsarist Russia, but they were arrested and shot by Japanese soldiers, and most of the people who went to watch and eat melons were the people of old China.
Through this incident, Lu Xun profoundly realized that it is useless to simply save people, and only by curing the minds of the Chinese people will more people be saved.
Therefore, Lu Xun replaced the scalpel with a pen holder, and through the publication of thought-provoking articles, he woke up the ignorant people and let more people wake up.
In addition to Lu Xun, there was also a person who could write and heal, named Lu Shichen. In addition to being a doctor, Lu Shichen also wrote a large number of literary works, which can be called the most literary cell among doctors.
Lu Shichen studied under the famous Qing Dynasty physician Tang Chunzhai, in addition to his expertise in medicine, the speed of publication of novels is also quite amazing, and he also predicted China a hundred years later with a copy of "New China" and painted a blueprint for future China.
Lu Shichen's prophecy
Lu Shichen showed a strong interest in literature since he was a child, he was not as playful as other children, and he reached the point of obsession with reading and writing.
At that time, the family encountered changes, the economic conditions were getting worse and worse, and Lu Shi'e had to bow to reality at a young age, temporarily put aside his favorite literature, and turned around to devote himself to the more profitable medical ranks at that time.
For him, healing the sick and saving people is only a means of seeking survival. Maybe that's how people are, and when faced with the pressure to survive, learning becomes a particularly efficient thing.
Lu Shichen soon understood the original complex and difficult medical theory and became a good doctor.
After improving his economic situation and obtaining a means of livelihood, Lu Shi'e began to pick up his literary hobbies again and began to write close-ups in capital letters.
While practicing medicine in Shanghai, he also vigorously engaged in literary creation, and there were more than 20 novels set in the early Qing Dynasty, of which "Blood Drops" was the most popular.
In addition, Lu Shichen also boldly looked forward to the new China a hundred years later, and expressed his prophecy in the form of a "dream".
In Lu Shichen's novel, Titled New China, he prophesied that the Shanghai concession had been repossessed, that the roads were wide, and that the court's lawyers were Chinese.
That year's "World Exposition" will be held in Shanghai, in order to facilitate people's travel, Pujiang Grand Iron Bridge and Cross River Tunnel, and the construction of a subway.
There are countless elevated overpasses on the road, light rail subways passing through...
You know, in china in the late Qing Dynasty, there were even very few railways, but Lu Shi'e could imagine that a hundred years later, China's railway tracks could be paved from the sky to the ground and into the sea.
The bridge across the Huangpu River is used to facilitate people's travel, and the people of the future have long been free from the influence of the great powers and have become independent and free.
At that time, this could only be read as a fantasy novel, because in the old China at that time, even eating a full meal was a luxury. Even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones did not even dare to think, let alone the light rail subway.
Lu Xun ridiculed Lu Shi'e
As a literary tycoon, Lu Xun has a deep attainment in the literary industry, and he originally achieved the purpose of irony by writing about the reality of the old society.
Let people recognize reality and wake up from the dream of a big country. And Lu Shichen, facing this group of people who can't even eat enough, began to use a dream to wake up a hundred years later that China can hold the "World Exposition" and build bridges, build light rail subways, and have bright overhead lights...
There is an essential difference between this and the theme ideas expressed in Lu Xun's works, so Lu Xun satirized Lu Shichen's article and publicly stated that Lu Shichen was a typical practice of "old bottles of new wine".
The social background is dark, even the dignity of sovereignty can not be done, under such a big contrast, Lu Shi'e can also write that the future China can take back the concession, can light rail everywhere, and build bridges, which makes lu Xun of the realist school very unhappy.
Lu Xun sneered at Lu Shichen a few words, and now it seems that it is also in line with Lu Xun's formal style, but Lu Xun did not expect that now these prophecies have been fulfilled one by one.
postscript
Lu Shichen's article attracted Lu Xun's ridicule, and he did not openly criticize it, after all, for Lu Shichen, it was only a "casual article" to express his inner thoughts.
This is also in line with the traditional Confucian idea of "people do not know but are not ashamed", but no one thought that the jokes of that year had really become a reality.
Today's China has stood up, and the great Shanghai is more advanced than Lu Shichen depicted, and if they have known about it, they should be happy for the new China.
