Lu Xun's "She Xi" was a novel that described China's rural society. Through vivid scenes, exquisite descriptions, and profound insights, it showed the dark side of society and the suffering of the people. The following is the full text of this work: At the beginning of the book, it described a traditional social opera held in a village. It was a joyous event and the biggest festival of the year for the local people. But on this festival, people felt a deep sense of helplessness and despair. In this festival full of laughter, there was a little girl crying in the corner because her father had passed away and her mother was seriously ill and could not come to this festival. Then the author described the life in the village, including poverty, ignorance and desolation. The people in the village lived a hard-working but poor life. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, but they could not meet their basic needs. They lacked education, medical care, social protection, and even basic living conditions. At the same time, due to the remote geographical location of the village, the connection with the outside world was very limited, and the people's lifestyle and social concepts were very backward. In the novel, the author also described some characters, including the women and the elderly in the village. They were hardworking and kind, but their social status was low and they could not receive respect and equal treatment. Their living conditions were also very difficult, and they often suffered all kinds of discrimination and oppression. At the same time, these women were unable to express their opinions and demands, and their rights and freedom were severely restricted. Finally, the author expressed his sympathy for the sufferings of the people and his desire for social progress through the description of social reality. He believed that society should achieve equality, justice and freedom so that people could live a happy, healthy and dignified life.
