What does Kong Yiji come from?

Kong Yiji is a short story written by Lu Xun. It was first published in No.4, Volume VI of New Youth in April 1919, and later compiled into Scream.

The novel describes the tragic image of Kong Yiji, who was mentally pedantic and insensitive under the influence of feudal decadent ideas and the imperial examination system, lived in poverty and poverty, spent his time laughing and joking, and was finally swallowed up by the feudal landlord class.

The length is not long, but it profoundly exposes the poison of the imperial examination system to the intellectuals' spirit at that time and the "cannibalism" nature of the feudal system, which is of strong anti-feudal significance.

Appreciation of the whole text:

This work is a famous novel by Mr. Lu Xun, a great master of modern literature in China, and also one of the classic short stories in the literary history of China in the 2th century. With extremely frugal pen and ink and typical details of life, the author created the image of Kong Yiji, a scholar who was cruelly abandoned at the bottom of society, lived in poverty and was eventually swallowed up by powerful dark forces.

Kong Yiji's pitiful and ridiculous personality and tragic ending are not only vivid portrayal of the unfortunate fate of the broad masses of lower-class intellectuals in old China, but also the concrete expression of the "cannibalism" essence of the feudal traditional cultural atmosphere in China. It reveals that the feudal society is indifferent, people are indifferent and numb, and society is cruel to the unfortunate, which reflects the decay and morbidity of feudal society from one side.
