《Mr. Lu Xun》The fourth episode of "Iron House Scream" deeply explores Mr. Lu Xun's literary ideas and his profound insights into society.The title of this episode comes from Lu Xun's famous metaphor - “Iron House”, which symbolizes the closedness and repression of Chinese society at that time, while “Shout” represents Lu Xun's efforts to awaken the people and break this closed state.

Iron House Scream

This episode starts with the “Iron House” metaphor in the preface - Scream - and tells about Lu Xun's deep expectations for national awakening and concerns about the national mental state.Through the analysis of works such as "Diary of a Madman" and "Medicine", it is shown how Lu Xun revealed the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics and the insensitivity of the people through literary works.The perspective of a madman in "Diary of a Madman" reveals the cruelty of society and the distortion of human nature, while "Medicine" criticizes the ignorance and indifference of the people through the symbol of human blood steamed buns.
