Since October 19, 1936, Lu Xun has left us for 85 years, and His spirit and moral character still deeply touch everyone in the world whose conscience has not been lost.
Today, I revisit the poem "Some People" by Zang Kejia, an outstanding contributor to the Poetry Journal and a contemporary poet, and feel that Mr. Lu Xun's love will always reside in our hearts and flow in our blood.
"Some People" is a lyric poem written by Zang Kejia to commemorate the thirteenth anniversary of Lu Xun's death.
With highly condensed and summarized verses, the poet summed up two kinds of people, two life choices and two life destinations, praised Mr. Lu Xun's life as a widow, and expressed his heartfelt praise for those who lived for the people.
The poem uses contrast throughout the poem, and in the contrast between them, two completely different views of life, values and their historical results in the real world are artistically presented.
Some people are written by Zang Kejia
——Commemorating the thirteenth anniversary of Lu Xun's death is touching
Some people are alive, he is dead;
Some people are dead, he is still alive.
Some people, riding on the heads of the people: "Ah, how great I am!" ”
Some people lean down to be cattle and horses for the people.
Some people, who carve their names into stone, want to be "immortal";
Some people are willing to be weeds, waiting for the fire underground.
Some people, he lives others can not live;
There are people who live for the betterment of the majority.
Whoever rides on the head of the people, the people break him down;
He who gives the people cattle and horses, the people will always remember him!
Those who carved their names into stone, whose names rotted earlier than corpses;
As long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere.
He is a man who cannot live if he lives,
His end can be seen;
He lives for the better of the majority of people,
The crowd lifted him up very high, very high.

The poem clearly points out that although the reactionary forces are "alive," bowing down to the outside world, and oppressing the people internally, they are "walking dead" in the minds of the common people; people like Lu Xun, although they are still alive, will always live in the hearts of the people and win the respect and praise of the people.
Those who despise the people "live", but the flesh is still alive, which naturally makes the masses despise and scorn; the spirit is eternal, bringing warmth to the people, is a great life, worthy of affirmation and praise.
"Riding" vividly shows the reactionary forces' attitude of oppressing the people and acting as a blessing in disguise.
"Falling down" is the most direct answer of the people to the reactionary forces, revealing their shameful and inevitable fate.
"Rotten earlier" vividly writes the tragic fate of the reactionary forces that want to be famous for eternity but have been left behind for thousands of years. The people will only remember the person who was kind to them and will always support him.
In 1956, Zang Kejia was transferred to the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association, and from 1957 to 1965, he was the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Journal, making great contributions to the dissemination and popularization of Mao Zedong's poetry.
