Violence

SHU SHU has developed *Madman*, a board game for children and adolescents, as an extension of *Re-reading Lu Xun* (Issue 4 of POD zine, currently in production). As a socially engaged board game, *Madman* draws inspiration from the traditional "goose game," transforming its path of fate into a map of real-life growth. The game board features 31 illustrated spaces that reflect the real experiences and struggles contemporary youth may face while growing up.

When you reach the end and “win” the game, will you pause to ask yourself: after walking this path shaped by predetermined standards of success, am I still a “normal” person?

This board game is a tribute to Lu Xun’s 1918 novella *Diary of a Madman*. We hope *Madman* can transform those lonely, painful, and absurd moments of growing up into stories that can be heard, understood, and reimagined—through the act of play.

SHU SHU基于POD zine第四期《重读鲁迅》(制作中)延伸创作了一款面向儿童及青少年的《狂人》桌游。作为一款社会议题的桌游,《狂人》借用鹅棋这条“命运之路”,转化为一张现实的成长地图——其中31个带有插图的格子,映射着当代青少年成长中可能遭遇的真实经历与困境。当你抵达终点、赢得这场游戏,你是否愿意停下来问问自己:走完这条被既定标准塑造的“成功之路”,我是否还算是一个“正常人”?

这款桌游正是向鲁迅1918年的小说《狂人日记》的致敬。我们希望,《狂人》可以用游戏的方式,帮你把那些成长中曾经感到孤独、痛苦、荒诞的经历,变成可以被倾听、被理解、被重构的故事。
