1925年2月21日的《京报副刊》上,有一篇鲁迅先生对“青年必读书”征求意见的答复。其中有这样两句话:“我以为要少——或者竟不——看中国书,多看外国书。少看中国书,其结果不过不能作文而已。但现在的青年最要紧的是‘行’,不是‘言’。只要是活人,不能作文算什么大不了的事。” On February 21, 1925, in the Beijing News Supplement, there was a reply by Mr. Lu Xun to the “Need young people to read” comment. There are two sentences like this: “I thought I would have less—or not really—to read Chinese books and read more foreign books. When I look at Chinese books less, the result is nothing but writing. But now the youth are the most important thing. ’It is not ’word’. As long as it is a living person, it cannot be considered as a big deal.”
