On the significance of Regret for the Past in modern society from the perspective of the changes of the times
Juansheng wrote down his regret and sorrow for Zijun and himself. Today, I want to write some advice for the noble and pragmatic love of the new generation. Regret for the Past is a unique work in Lu Xun's novels. Juansheng and Zijun, the heroes and heroines in the novel, are lovers. They live together in spite of their family's opposition. However, after the sweet love time passed, there were various contradictions between them because of social pressure and economic poverty. Zijun came home to die alone, and Juansheng could only live in loneliness and pain. Lu Xun's novel was completed in 1925, and Zijun and Juansheng in the novel were figures in the May 4th period. The young intellectuals were impacted by the May 4th ideological emancipation trend, trying to get rid of the shackles of feudal old morality and old ideas, and their desire for individual liberation was extremely firm. However, in that era when the alternation between the old and the new is extremely slow and the social development lags behind, without social liberation, how can individual solutions be solved independently? From this point of view, Regret for the Past shows amazing social anatomy, which presents people with a love tragedy in a society. Although only born to love's Zijun is a new generation of young women who have been baptized by the May 4th progressive thought, her bravery was finally left on the road of anti-feudal shackles and crushed to pieces. At first, she could say clearly, firmly and calmly, "I am my own, and none of them has the right to interfere with me." Facing the face of the old thing with a catfish beard and the little thing with a thick cream face, she looked at it with her eyes open and walked proudly without seeing it. She is fearless and doesn't care about the exploration, ridicule, contempt and contempt on the road. She just walked calmly and slowly, as if nobody was watching. However, under the heavy burden of life and housework, her courage was lost, only for Ah Sui's grief and indignation, only for cooking. When Juansheng lost his job, a fearless zijun also changed color, and her face was so sad under the dim light. Finally, when Zijun completely lost her love, she could only carry the burden of vanity and walk the so-called road of life alone in severe and cold eyes until she reached the grave. Why can't Zijun save himself bravely and timely like modern women? Why is there such a big contrast between her personality before and after? In my opinion, the lack of economic independence led to the lack of independence of Zijun's personality, which eventually led to this irreparable tragedy. Zijun has no independent job, no social circle of his own, and can't keep up with the times. It can be said that zijun has nothing but love. Her career seems to be completely dominated by eating, and the time for reading and walking is completely occupied by housework. Her previously honed thoughts and open-minded and fearless remarks are still empty, so that even the slightest thing can deeply affect her. Zijun is a typical full-time wife in modern society. Unfortunately, Juansheng has no ability to provide her with a solid economic foundation! In addition, it is crucial that Zijun is fearless because of love, and when he loses Juansheng's love, he is still waiting for her except death. Juansheng is a small clerk in the bureau. He managed to maintain the life of the whole family on a meager salary, so that their love without foundation continued to fluctuate in the wind and rain. However, some of his practices and personality weaknesses aggravated the tragedy of his love. To some extent, Juansheng is selfish and irresponsible. At first, he encouraged Zijun to escape from his family and fill the void with love. But later, in order to escape the cold weather and cold spirit, he ignored Zijun and hid in the so-called paradise in the library. In order to open up a new road, rebuild a new life and avoid extinction together, he also unloaded all the practical burdens to Zijun, who was unable to survive. This is very irresponsible, and he can't escape the bad luck of living in loneliness and pain in the end. Sartre's existentialist philosophy explains love in this way: "The essence of man is his own choice, and choice is based on freedom. People are judged to be free and must bear the consequences of choice alone. " Aside from the social roots that caused his love tragedy, how should we treat love as a new generation? First of all, I think people must live, so that love can be attached, and the fundamental rule of living is to have their own career. We can't completely ignore other necessities of life-blind love just for love. Love that is not based on life can only be regarded as rootless and deformed love. Secondly, love must be constantly updated, grown and created. There is no unchangeable love in the world, but it is because of people's efforts that there is a love that depends on life and death day and night. In addition, a stable love needs both careful care and family support. After all, love and marriage are not just about two people.
