Reading Meetup: Lu Xun's Kong Yiji:阅读活动- 鲁迅的孔乙己
Details
We previously covered Lu Xun's "A Madman's Diary" - now we cover the second short story from that collection ("Call to Arms") relating to a certain Kong YiJi - a scholar who never really makes it past the Imperial Examinations. You wouldn't call it the most cheerful story in the world, but at least it fairly straightforward with short sentences and few if any chengyus!
六个月以前，我们讨论了鲁迅的狂人日记。现在，我们会讨论那本书的第二个小故事。这个故事是关于一个从来没通过考试的学生：孔乙己。它不是世界上最快乐的故事。 但是比较简单：还有短句子。成语也很少。
