As we are witnessing a widening gap between people of different colors, Two and a half years ago, we launched the project Rereading Lu Xun. During this time, the shifting realities around us have made us keenly aware that, today, language often feels confined within the walls of our own teeth—difficult to truly open and speak. This is not only true for adults; young people, too, experience anxiety, depression, and confusion.

The historian Yu Yingshi once said, “Turn inward and find peace within yourself.” In such a state of mind, we turned again to Lu Xun’s works. To us, he is a sage who speaks across time, offering words that respond to our age and giving us, amid the torrents of this era, a place where we can momentarily rest our hearts.

This issue of the magazine features four of Lu Xun’s writings: Forging the Sword, Kong Yiji, Medicine, and A Madman’s Diary.

两年半前，我们开启“重读鲁迅”的计划。其间，现实的变幻让我们深切感受到：在当下，语言常常受困于齿墙之内，难以真正开启。不只是成人，青少年同样有着焦虑、抑郁与迷茫。许倬云先生曾说：“往里走，安顿自己。”在这样的心境下，我们重新翻开鲁迅的作品。在我们眼中，他是一位能够隔空回应的长者，让我们在时代的激流中，可以找到一处暂时安放自我的位置。杂志选用了鲁迅的四篇文章，分别是《铸剑》《孔乙己》《药》和《狂人日记》。
