朱宣咸早年積極參加進(jìn)步學(xué)生運(yùn)動，1946 年遭鎮(zhèn)壓后被校方開除，并被武裝押解出學(xué)校，《難忘的一夜——我的遭遇》就是真實(shí)紀(jì)錄下了離開學(xué)校后、他在回家途中夜宿農(nóng)民家時的情景。表達(dá)了他在那個難以入睡的難忘的一夜，那種苦悶、彷徨與憤恨的心情，他無比痛恨學(xué)校在一夜之間結(jié)束了自己的學(xué)生時代，而被迫走進(jìn)茫茫人海的社會大門，痛恨人世社會的不平！此后不久，他加入了中華全國木刻協(xié)會組織的“木刻之友”，投身到了中國新興木刻運(yùn)動中。
 

In his early years, Zhu Xuanxian actively took part in the student movements, and was dismissed by the school administration and sent out of the school under armed escort 1946. The woodcut An Unforgettable Night——My Experience realistically recorded his experience of staying overnight in the home of a farmer on his way home after he had left the school. The painting expresses his depression, confusion and hatred at that unforgettable night when he could not fall asleep. He hated the school bitterly for terminating his career as a student all of a sudden and driving him into the uncertain society. He hated the unfairness of the human society! Shortly after that, he joined “the Association of Woodcut Artists” under the leadership of the National Woodcut Association, and devoted himself to the new woodcut movement of China.
