Kong Yiji (complete Classics of Lu Xun)
by Lu Xun
About This Novel
This work is Lu Xun's second vernacular novel after "Diary of a Madman" on the eve of the May 4th Movement. The novel describes the tragic image of Kong Yiji, who was poisoned by the decadent feudal ideas and the imperial examination system, became mentally pedantic and insensitive, was industrious and impoverished in life, spent his days in people's ridicule and banter, and was finally swallowed up by the feudal landlord class. The article is not long, but it profoundly exposes the poisoning of the spirit of intellectuals by the imperial examination system at that time and the "cannibalistic" nature of the feudal system. It has a strong anti-feudal significance.

Who is not Kong Yiji?
Recently I have reviewed a lot of texts I studied while studying. My understanding of the text now is completely different from when I was a child. Every depressed person is Kong Yiji Neither have the ability to settle down and make a living I can't take off my robe and work as a coolie. Can only wear robes in places where a group of long-term workers gather Show your nobleness as a scholar So what if I don't fit in? Where else to go
Reveals the poisonous influence of the imperial examination system on the spirit of intellectuals at that time
