Lu Xun
In photography, lu Xun seems to criticise the people who fear photography. It is funny that the people in S city thought when they are taken photo their souls are taken away too by the camera. Also, they thought it was a tabor to take passport and half images since it meant they would be cut in half too in real life. Lu Xun also criticizes the people who are too fast to embrace the technology of photography. He does this by narrating his childhood memory of the photo of li Hongzhang and other Qing officials but complains that the new technology was used to transmit outdated messages. He further expounds on the picture of Celestial Maiden and says that it was a good photo since it showed “traces of tragic suffering and bitter struggle”. I think Lu Xun wish was that his photos would represent his character. Further, he must be desiring that his picture of will be of significant impact: thus, help people expressing and embrace new ideas and result to self identify.
