鲁迅的《药》发表于1919年5月。它描写了发生在辛亥革命时期的两件事:一是贫民华老栓买“药”为儿子治病;一是革命者夏瑜为推翻封建制度而英勇就义。前者是明线,后者是暗线。作者用“人血饅头”为粘合剂,巧妙地将这明暗两线融合 Lu Xun’s “Medicine” was published in May 1919. It describes two events that took place in the period of the Revolution of 1911: First, the poor Chinese and old tying to buy “drugs” to cure their sons; first, the revolutionary Xia Yu heroically to overthrow the feudal system. The former is the open line and the latter is the dark line. The author uses the “human blood skull” as a binder to subtly merge the light and dark lines.
