As there was little in the last year that concerned the parish, but only myself, so in this the like fortune continued; and saving a rise in the price of barley, occasioned, as was thought, by the establishment of a house for brewing whisky in a neighbouring parish, it could not be said that my people were exposed to the mutations and influences of the stars, which ruled in the seasons of Ann. Dom. 1765. In the winter there was a dearth of fuel, such as has not been since; for when the spring loosened the bonds of the ice, three new coal-heughs were shanked in the Douray moor, and ever since there has been a great plenty of that necessary article. Truly, it is very wonderful to see how things come round. When the talk was about the shanking of their heughs, and a paper to get folk to take shares in them, was carried through the circumjacent parishes, it was thought a gowk's errand; but no sooner was the coal reached, but up sprung such a traffic, that it was a godsend to the parish, and the opening of a trade and commerce, that has, to use an old byword, brought gold in gowpins amang us. From that time my stipend has been on the regular increase, and therefore I think that the incoming of the heritors must have been in like manner augmented.

撕开社会的假面（鲁迅杂文代表作品选）
鲁迅的改革思想，集中于两个时期：一个是1907年慈禧太后与光绪皇帝驾崩之前的预备立宪时期，一个是“五四”前后到大革命期间。1927年后，他接受了马克思主义，由一个进化论者转变成为一个彻底革命论者。然而革命与改良，并非水火不相容．二者有轻重缓急的不同。因此，鲁迅关于革命的一些意见，与他的改革思想一样，对于我们今天的改革和开放，仍然有一定的启示意义。
