Yu, Pingbo. Ba 'Hui se ma' yi ben. [Savinkov, Boris Viktorovich. Hui se ma]. [ID D37405].
Yu Pingbo viewed the hero's life and thought as representing 'a tremendous tragedy in the struggle for life'. The hero saw everything as futile, be it the revolutionary fervor of a terrorist, or the drowsy numbness of love. At the end, the only reality for him was, 'my revolver is with me' – suicide. The solution to the problem of life lay not in living, but in not living. In the seemingly contradictory action of the hero – an egotist ending his own life in suicide – Yu saw epitomized the sorrow of modern man : the never-ending conflict between love and hate, passion and intellect. 'I can say with certainty that his hate is but a transformation of his love. He said that he dies out of hatred for society, but underneath he gives up his life for love of this world.
