Vice? Not really. Briefly, I’ve criticized Lu Xun mainly for
1. Buying Bolshevism without bearing in mind this Roman proverb: Caveat Emptor ("Let the buyer beware");
2. Failing to make a serious effort to understand American democracy and capitalism; and
3. Putting too much faith in radical change by radical means. (According to Lu Xun, if you want a Chinese to open a window in a dark house, you need to impress him/her that you are going to remove the roof; otherwise, no Chinese would give a damn. I would say to Mr. Lu Xun, "Be careful what you wish for.")
【从一个名字开始】
文/天玉之
我坐在中山公园的长椅上，听她娓娓叙来
她五十多岁的样子，慈眉善目
像一朵开不败的花。她说
“每天早晨我来这里打太极拳 再跳一个小时的广场舞”
“我喜欢长安街的空气，似乎离不开了”
她喜欢孩子。家里兄弟姐妹多
从小就是妈妈的好帮手，天生强大的母性本能
后来 成了家里第一个大学生
又以优异成绩考进了北京医科大学
选专科时 她选择了妇产科，要做林巧稚那样的医生
北京人民医院实习完毕 与她相爱多年的医生同学结了婚
在后来的几十年里 她接生了无数个婴儿
自己生了一儿一女 都已成家立业
自己刚刚退休 开始安享晚年
“我该回家做午饭了，老伴在家等着呢”
她起身，笑着摆摆手，走进一片葱郁的古木松林
上面的一切
是应该发生 却没有发生的事。对不起。
因为 那天晚上 一个命令和一个决定改变了一切。
她揣着一个医生的良心 默念着希波克拉底誓词
离家去了最近的木樨地 去做她被培训多年做的事
为什么子弹没有眼睛 飞向她的颈部？
难道看不见她正在包扎伤口？
被她救活的人当中 很可能有你 我 他
我们又活了三十二年 灿烂的人生
而她青春的面庞 现在在哪里？
她叫王卫萍，25岁，北京人。
人们啊 请记住这个名字吧，去搜索她，谢谢你。
记住她是一名好医生，好姐妹
记住她是救了几条人命的英雄 不是暴徒
记住一个好姑娘的命运 是如何在一夜之间被改变的

【Start with One Name】
By Tian Yu Zhi
I sit on a bench in Zhongshan Park, and listen to her stories
She is in her late fifties, with kind eyes
Pretty as a never whithered flower. She says
"Every morning I come here to do Tai Chi,
and another hour of dance on the square”,
"I like the air on Chang'an Avenue, it seems I can't live without it"
She likes children. With many siblings at home,
She has been a good helper for her mother since she was a child,
With a naturally strong maternal instinct.
Later he became the first college student in the family, and
Was admitted to Beijing Medical Science University with honors
She chose obstetrics and gynecology as her specialty, to be a doctor like Lin Qiaozhi
After her residence at Beijing People’s Hospital was completed
She married to her doctor classmate in love for many years.
In the following decades, she delivered many babies, and
Raised a son and a daughter. She just retired and started to enjoy her retirement.
"I am going back home and prepare lunch now. My husband is waiting"
She got up, waved her hand with a smile, and walked into a lush ancient evergreen forest
Everything I said above
Would have happened but didn't. I am sorry to say that
That night, an order and a decision have changed everything.
She held a doctor’s conscience and recited silently the Hippocratic Oath,
Left home and went to the nearest Muxudi, to do
What she had been trained to do for many years
Why didn’t the bullet flying towards her neck have eyes?
Couldn’t it see that she was rescuing the wounded?
Among those whom she has saved, it could be me, you, and him
We went on and lived another thirty-two years, a brilliant life
But where was her youthful face?
Her name is Wang Weiping, a 25 years old lady from Beijing.
Dear readers, please remember this name and Google her, thank you.
Remember she is a good doctor, a good sister
Remember that she is a hero who has saved a few lives,
Not a thug, as they say
Remember how the fate of a fine lady was changed overnight

【从一个名字开始】 中英文双语诗 【空谷幽兰】【Orchid in the Valley】 英文诗【Her Last Hour】 【今天是我的生日】 【Floating Clouds & May Storms】这样冒死救人的英雄，名字竟然寥为人知。
诗人不写这样的人，写什么呢？
本是家中骄子，后来父亲都不敢认她。
偷偷给她扫墓。。。
她做错了什么？听说开枪了，她是去救人的啊
32年了，有多少人知道 her heroism，sacrifice？
难道她将永远成为家庭的“耻辱”吗？
I want more people to know about her
1. Buying Bolshevism without bearing in mind this Roman proverb: Caveat Emptor ("Let the buyer beware");
2. Failing to make a serious effort to understand American democracy and capitalism; and
3. Putting too much faith in radical change by radical means. (According to Lu Xun, if you want a Chinese to open a window in a dark house, you need to impress him/her that you are going to remove the roof; otherwise, no Chinese would give a damn. I would say to Mr. Lu Xun, "Be careful what you wish for.")
OK, I think that's about it.
