In 1933, Lu Xun made a dedication to the novel of hesitation written ten years ago, which says: "The new literature garden is lonely; The old battle field is peaceful. Two rooms are left with a person, we are carrying on the loads without being able to find which way we should go." This can be regarded as his recalls of his passing way under the situation of isolation .At the same time, we would regard it as an epitome concerning his beginning practice in all his life. As everyone knows; from 1906 -1936, in the span of nearly 30 years, Lu Xun had stood on the road of enlightenment in thought three times. However, final results of every time are rebuffed. When we comb the course of enlightenment carefully, we have found one regular starting orbits. That is: Practice of enlightenment Failure Felling lonely Introspection Anaesthetize (feign death) A new round of practice of enlightenment. We have called it Lu Xun's circulatory destiny. In addition, we also found that Lu Xun had experienced a sense of nihility while there is a troubled relation between them. On one hand, circulatory destiny made his enlightenment unable to work in modern China. The desperate mood reached a high level after the failure of the second practice of enlightenment. During this period, what had been found in his article were such words as divergence, hopeless vision, and "crossroad, which reveals the tough course we should exercise. Lu Xun had experienced nihility under such a hesitating and hopeless action. Weeds ?The farewell of the shadow On the other hand, Lu Xun's nihility sense is not a kind of simple desperate psychology and mood . " Lu Xun's deep desperate comes from his deep understanding to Chinese tradition and culture, from his sober observation on the history condition, from his marvelous plight about the irreplaceable connection concerning self-negated object.." (Wang Hui's words) So, in the article Weeds ?The hope, Lu Xun puts the desperate, the hope and nihility at a same platform, then examines them closely. His conclusion is: "A desperate one is unfounded, with hoping the samly". So, on one hand, Lu Xun has succeeded in crossing over therestriction of the two poles of hope - desperate. On the other hand, Lu Xun has found the inherent positive connection between hope and desperate. This is nihility. That is to say, hope and desperate indifferently. All is nihility. Since it is so, Lu Xun can get a kind of strong spiritual motive force, thus trying to step out of circulatory destiny of nihility. This is resistion of the despair. Only so, Lu Xun can open up his own way to enlightenment again in changeable great era and create his own life meaning at the same time. Certainly, the final result that Lu Xun resists the despair is still rebuffed. This can not make Lu Xun step out of the circulatory destiny of enlightenment, but have increased an identification that Lu Xun experiences the circulatory destiny constantly on the road of enlightenment. It Strengthens and aggravates his judgment to nihility at the same time. This is Lu Xun's tragedy destiny.The article is rounding on these central issues and launches describing from three respects. First of all, regards time as order and combs especially the Enlightenment in the road of Lu Xun for 30 years from 1906 to 1936. The purpose is to want to put in order the concrete form of circulatory destiny of Lu Xun in each historical period. Inside this part, the argumentation material that I adopt stems from Lu Xun's own characters more. I pay attention to put and examine it closely under the historical background at the same time. Namely give consideration to history. Secondly, after drawing the circulatory destiny law of Enlightenment of Lu Xun, I have analyzed especially the surmounting to nihility of Lu Xun inside the second part of the article. Namely Lu Xun is stepping out of circulatory destiny with the posture of resisting the despair. This makes us see a kind of quality of upwards from Lu Xun. Lu Xun have tried to step out of circulatory destiny through resisting the desp...
