| Summary |
"吶喊" by Xun Lu is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on personal experiences and social observations, weaving themes of loneliness, societal critique, and the struggle for individual identity in a tumultuous time. Central to this collection are the voices of characters grappling with their circumstances against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal aspirations. The opening of the work begins with a self-reflective preface that reveals the author’s sense of nostalgia and disappointment regarding lost dreams from his youth. He recounts a time of personal struggle as he navigates the dual roles of caregiving for his ill father and pursuing an education. As he reflects on his past experiences, he articulates a growing disillusionment with the medical profession and the societal structures around him. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters’ inner lives and societal critiques, suggesting that their stories will encapsulate the longing for meaning and the yearning for change within a rigid societal framework.
