启蒙的难题与鲁迅的回答

Difficult Problems in Enlightenment and Lu Xun's Answer

在 2 0世纪中国的历史语境中 ,启蒙注定了异常艰难。专制统治者与其制造的民众必然要抵抗和拒绝启蒙。鲁迅的小说不断展示着启蒙的困境 ,只是提醒人们丢掉浪漫的幻想 ,正视启蒙的艰难。鲁迅在参与启蒙化运动之时就对启蒙有所质疑 ,似乎对打破铁屋不抱希望 ,但事实证明 ,鲁迅并未绝望 ,而是把最后的希望寄托于启蒙 ,在绝望的废墟上不懈地努力。在大众化与化大众的矛盾中 ,鲁迅始终坚守着化大众的启蒙立场 ,即使置身于主张大众化的阵营 ,也没有放弃自己的选择。

In the historical environment in China in the 20th century,enlightenment was destined to be difficult.The dictators and rulers and the masses under them would definitely resist and refuse it.Novels by Lu Xun indicated again and again the dilima of enlightenment.He wanted to remind people that they should cast away any romantic illusion,and face the difficulty of enlightenment.At the very beginning when he participated in it,Lu Xun began to doubt enlightenment. He seemed to place no hope on breaking the “iron room”,but in fact,he had never lost heart.He placed his final hope on the enlightenment.He worked very hard on the ruins of despair.In face of contradictioin between popularization and the enlightenment of the masses,Lu Xun always stood on the side on the latter.Even if he was within the camp of popularization,he never gave up his own choice.
