Lu Xun “new year’s sacrifice” is an emotional rollercoaster of a story. The story of the oppression of a Chinese woman. The selling of that very same women after her husband’s passing. Her mother in law services her to remarry in order to arrange the wedding of her brother in law. She handles all the sacrifice activities and far-reaching work all by herself. She suffers judgments due to her label as a widow. She suffers from a great shock because she loses everything she could trust in her life. Instead of trying to comprehend her depression, people comprehend it as an appearance of her displeasure. Also, people take her story of her son’s demise as a witticism, makes fun of her for her sad experiences, and takes an unkinder style towards her. She is regarded as disloyalty and bad luck, which is against all the ethical standards for a traditional Chinese woman. I feel that story is a sad story and all I see is despair. This just doesn’t happen with just Chinese women but I feel is still a common issue on a global slandered. We can see scenarios like this in the Middle East to Europe and America’s. I felt that the oppression of women is one of man’s worst atrocities. These types of transactions occur on a daily basis of selling women to men. Also we humans like to shame each other to create subgroups and use fear as an entry to these groups. The fear of her being a widow. Mocking her, giving her title that she doesn’t want. Haunting her while she sleeps. Her life becomes a living nightmare. But all in all the story was great. It showed the struggle so lifelike. That I felt I was living through those experiences.
