“Imagine an iron house, with absolutely no windows, indestructible, with many people asleep inside who will soon die of suffocation…Would you think you are doing them a good turn [by waking them before they perish]?”
“But if a few awake, you can’t say there is no hope.”
Lu Xun, from preface to “Call to Arms,” 1922
