Solicitude has been theme favored by writers, artists and philosphers from ancient time up to today. To some extent, solicitude has become a kind of culture, art and philosophy. Solicitude makes the profound experience of personality beauty and solitary soul concerns the existence of life which exists and surpass the life of human and is a sort of esthetics of life. Life esthetics is only closely related to sympathy, charity and kindness to those noble-minded and able-bodied persons; to those who even suffer from pain and torture and overinduldged with dignity, joy and nobility even in bad times, and to those who are fond of life and human being, solicitude is their best tutor and strength and weapon for their life to move forward, and source of their thought sparkle and torch of their thought. Solicitude enlighten them and the civilization and progress of human being, therefore leaving a rich cultural legacy to human being and contributing greatly to the thought of human being. The present article takes two great thinkers from East and West-Lu xun and Nietzsche with solicitude as penetration point to explore and research life experience. Nietzsche was once compared to a poet walking out of the kingdom of philosphy, Lu xun a philospher from the kingdom of literature. Their life experiences are largely characterized by solicitude. Nietzsche once exclaimed that he was looking forward to a person and he was looking for a person only to find himself, and he no longer looked forward to himself. He said,"i need solicitude, namely, i need recovery and i need return to myself, to a breath of free, light and joyous air-one of my piece—Thus Spake Zarathustra, is an anthem of solicitude, or to be more exact, it is a reflection of solicitude. He knew clearly that solicitude is the real fortune of thinkers. Black color is largely employed in Lu xun’s novels---The Solitary and Forging Sword. Black clothes, black beard, black eyes and black air strongly reflect solicitude as if deserted in endless black night with solicitude thrown in the depth of village of soul, meanwhile, solemnity of life is felt. All the life, Lu xun was shouting and wandering in solicitude. He said that his philosphy was rooted in Grass. Even though he was wandering and shouting in solicitude, his life flourished like wild grass. The solicitude of Lu and Nietzsche has something in common and divergence. Their solicitude takes different forms owing to different cultural background. But it is undeniable that both Lu and Nietzsche made great contribution to culture and thoughts of the country he lived in and impacts the civilization and progress of human being.
