Poetry translation: People who have no feelings for children are not necessarily real heroes. How is it a man to take care of children? Do you know that tigers howling in the mountains always come back to look after their cubs?
The reply is a poem by Lu Xun. To understand this poem, we must have a clear understanding of its creation background: in the early 1930s, a group of people fabricated rumors and maliciously cursed Lu Xun's son Zhou Haiying, who was under one year old, and quoted the old saying that "father and son are ungrateful" to satirize Lu Xun's fatherly love for his young son. The poem Answering a Guest was written under such circumstances.
In the whole poem, we first use a "not necessarily" to deny the "heartless" theorist; With a "how", heckled the attacker of "Reiko Kobayakawa" and made him speechless. In Lu Xun's view, whether he is a hero is not whether he is Reiko Kobayakawa or not, but whether he is ruthless to the enemy. Writer Xie Banghua once said: This poem "Answering the Guest" is not only a "hiss" to the guest, but also a poem expressing love to future generations. It not only refutes the cynic, but also completely writes the author's affection for his children.
