Essay: "This Too Is Life." Lu Hsun.



Review: Random thoughts while ill.

Quotes: The narrator is very sick. “Give me some water and put the light on so that I can have a look around.”
“ ‘What for?’ She sounded rather alarmed, doubtless thinking I was raving.”
“Because I want to live. Understand that? This, too, is life. I want to take a look round.”
