OB4U1 Looking forwards -Starting out Who is mentioned in the video? What decisions did he make? Why did he change his decision? 此处已嵌入课本视频: Unit 1 Starting Out Lu Xun’s Decision. 1.What decisions did he make? When Lu Xun was 15, traditional Chinese medicine failed to cure his father’s illness, so he made a decision to study Western medicine and became a doctor. But later, he made a decision to abandon his medical studies and take up writing. 2.Why did he change his decision? Because he realized that people in China were more in need of treatment for their minds than their bodies. The most important thing, in his mind, was to change people’s spirit, and the best way to achieve this was through literature. Lu Xun (1881-1936) was the pen name of Zhou Shuren, an influential Chinese writer, essayist, and translator who is commonly considered the ‘father of modern Chinese literature.’ Known for his satirical observations of early 20th-century Chinese society, he is celebrated as a pioneer of modern vernacular Chinese literature现代白话文学 and was one of the most important thinkers of his time. Silence, silence! Unless we burst out, we shall perish in this silence! Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made. Eyebrows raised, coldly confronting.Accusing fingers of a thousand bullies. Yet with my head bowed,I’ll be an ox for children. 所以我时常害怕，愿中国青年都摆脱冷气，只是向上走，不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事，能发声的发声。有一分热，发一分光，就令萤火一般，也可以在黑暗里发一点光，不必等候炬火。 　此后如竟没有炬火：我便是唯一的光。倘若有了炬火，出了太阳，我们自然心悦诚服的消失。不但毫无不平，而且还要随喜赞美这炬火或太阳；因为他照了人类，连我都在内。 　　我又愿中国青年都只是向上走，不必理会这冷笑和暗箭。 Do you agree with Lu Xun’s decision?
