呐喊 | A Call to Arms

<p><strong>Lu Xun's</strong> <em>呐喊</em> (A Call to Arms) is a collection of short stories exploring themes of <strong>social injustice, alienation, and cannibalism</strong> (both literal and metaphorical) in early 20th-century China. The excerpts showcase the <strong>psychological turmoil</strong> of characters like the "Madman" and <strong>satirize the hypocrisy</strong> of Chinese society through stories such as "Kong Yiji" and "Medicine." Another story, "A Slight Incident," highlights a <strong>small act of kindness</strong> that contrasts sharply with prevalent societal callousness. Finally, "Tomorrow" and "The Storm" illustrate the struggles of <strong>ordinary people</strong> facing poverty and societal indifference.</p><p>鲁迅的《呐喊》是一部短篇小说集，探讨了 20 世纪初中国的社会不公、异化和吃人（既有字面意义也有隐喻意义）等主题。这些选段展示了“狂人”等人物的心理动荡，并通过《孔乙己》和《药》等故事讽刺了中国社会的虚伪。另一篇故事《小事》强调了一个小小的善举，与普遍的社会冷漠形成鲜明对比。最后，《明天》和《暴风雨》描绘了普通人面对贫困和社会冷漠的挣扎。</p>
