Lu Xun, Cri d’appel<\/em>, 1922<\/strong>

Dans l’h\u00f4tel de S, il y avait trois pi\u00e8ces dont la locataire, disait-on, s’\u00e9tait pendue au sophora de la cour. L’arbre avait grandi au point que ses branches \u00e9taient hors d’atteinte, mais l’appartement \u00e9tait rest\u00e9 vide. J’y v\u00e9cu quelques ann\u00e9es copiant des inscriptions anciennes. \u00c9tranger \u00e0 cette ville, je recevais peu de visiteurs. Les inscriptions ne comportaient ni probl\u00e8me ni concept en \u00ab isme \u00bb, et mon unique d\u00e9sir \u00e9tait de voir ma vie s’\u00e9couler dans cette m\u00eame qui\u00e9tude. Les nuits d’\u00e9t\u00e9, lorsque les moustiques \u00e9taient par trop nombreux, je m’asseyais sous le sophora, agitant mon \u00e9ventail en feuilles de palmier et regardant des morceaux de ciel par les trou\u00e9es de l’\u00e9pais feuillage, tandis que les chenilles qui sortent le soir me tombaient, glac\u00e9es, dans le cou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon vieil ami Jin Shiyi \u00e9tait le seul \u00e0 venir bavarder avec moi \u00e0 l’occasion. Il posait sa grande serviette sur ma table branlante, enlevait sa longue robe, s’asseyait en face de moi, avec l’air d’un homme qui a encore le c\u0153ur battant d’avoir eu \u00e0 affronter le chien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u00c0 quoi cela sert-il ? me demanda-t-il un soir, cherchant \u00e0 comprendre lorsqu’il eut regard\u00e9 les inscriptions que j’avais recopi\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u00c0 rien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Alors pourquoi les copier ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Pour aucune raison en particulier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Je pense que tu pourrais \u00e9crire quelque chose\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je compris. Il \u00e9tait parmi ceux qui publiaient Jeunesse nouvelle, <\/em>mais il semblait que cette revue n’avait soulev\u00e9 aucun \u00e9cho, ni favorable ni d\u00e9favorable, et je devinais qu’ils devaient se sentir seuls. Je dis cependant :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Imagine une maison de fer, sans fen\u00eatre, totalement indestructible, avec dedans beaucoup de gens profond\u00e9ment endormis qui ne tarderont pas \u00e0 mourir d’asphyxie. Puisqu’ils mourront dans leur sommeil, ils ne ressentiront aucune des affres de la mort. Crois-tu que tu leur rendras service si tu te mets \u00e0 crier tr\u00e8s fort et en \u00e9veilles quelques-uns au sommeil plus l\u00e9ger, qui auront ainsi \u00e0 subir l’agonie d’une mort in\u00e9luctable ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Mais si quelques-uns sont \u00e9veill\u00e9s, tu ne peux affirmer qu’il n’y ait aucun espoir de d\u00e9truire la maison de fer ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C’est vrai, je ne pouvais, malgr\u00e9 mon intime conviction, rejeter l’espoir, car c’est dans l’avenir que g\u00eet l’espoir. Je ne pouvais me fonder sur mon propre cas pour r\u00e9futer son affirmation sur la possibilit\u00e9 de l’espoir. J’acceptais donc d’\u00e9crire, et il en r\u00e9sulta ma premi\u00e8re nouvelle, L<\/em>e journal d’<\/em>un fou<\/em>. D\u00e8s lors, je ne pus m’emp\u00eacher d’\u00e9crire, et \u00e0 la demande de mes amis, je donnais de temps \u00e0 autre une nouvelle, jusqu’\u00e0 ce que j’en eus une bonne douzaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour ma part, je ne ressens plus un vif besoin de m’exprimer ; cependant, parce que je n’ai peut-\u00eatre pas tout \u00e0 fait oubli\u00e9 la souffrance que provoquait en moi ma solitude de jadis, il m’arrive encore de lancer quelques cris d’appel pour encourager le combattant qui galope dans la solitude, afin qu’il ne faiblisse pas. Peu m’importe que mon cri soit de bravoure ou de tristesse, repoussant ou d\u00e9risoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
