Hot Air
by Lu Xun
About This Novel
"Hot Wind" contains forty-one essays written by the author from 1918 to 1924. First published by Beijing Beixin Book Company in November 1925. A total of ten editions were printed during the author's lifetime. Lu Xun made some short comments in the "Reflections" of "New Youth" in the previous year. Because most of the comments he made were minor issues, they were insignificant and the reasons were mostly forgotten. But as far as the current text appears, apart from a few general comments, some of them are about supporting the si, sitting quietly, and boxing; some are about the so-called "preserving the national essence"; some are about the old bureaucrats at that time who were proud of their experience; some are about the caricatures of the Shanghai Times. I remember that at that time, "New Youth" was under attack from all sides, and Lu Xun could only deal with a small part of it.

Very good, highly recommended
It's okay. It should be okay.
I don't understand🤔🤔
You have to read any paragraph for a long time before you can figure out the general meaning. As for the moral, well...
ancient book
The clear line at the end of the first chapter scared me. It's also very soul-searching. The father of man and the germ of man are called man. You have to grab it with both hands!
