Many people are no strangers to Lu Xun, and there are often Lu Xun's articles in middle school textbooks. He is called the greatest writer in the 20th century. There are different opinions about Lu Xun in modern times. Some people think that Lu Xun is actually a shallow radical, and he will never be satisfied with reality. But in Chinese mainland, Lu Xun's evaluation is mostly positive. Regardless of the evaluation, he is one of the most important modern writers in China. Now that Lu Xun has been gone for 84 years, his only son has become a famous official through his own efforts, and his nephew is now a household name.
A marriage criticized by the audience
During Lu Xun's study in Japan, the school often showed some slides, which were almost full of pictures of China people being bullied by Japan, and most of the people watching these pictures were from China. This greatly stimulated Lu Xun, who believed that literature and art were needed to change the people of China. So Lu Xun abandoned medicine and went to literature, put down his scalpel and picked it up and began to engage in literary activities.
1906, his mother wrote to him asking him to go home and marry Zhu An. Lu Xun, who studied advanced ideas, was not satisfied with the marriage arranged by his mother, but he did not refuse to get married, but returned to China to get married. This marriage is actually a marriage in name only. The two have the name of husband and wife, but there is no reality of husband and wife.
1909, 28-year-old Lu Xun returned to China from Japan to work as a teacher and principal of some schools. When Lu Xun was 37 years old, he took "Lu Xun" as his pen name for the first time. His short vernacular novel Diary of a Madman was published in China magazine New Youth. Since then, he has written many novels and collections of short stories or essays in the name of Lu Xun.
1923, Lu Xun came to Beijing Normal School to give a lecture. There, he met the love of his life, Xu Guangping. Xu Guangping is a student of Beijing Women's Teachers College. She has known Lu Xun for a long time, read some of his essays and novels, and admired him very much.
1925, influenced by the movement of female normal university students, Xu Guangping had no choice but to live in the hutong where Lu Xun lived. The two began to have a good impression on each other and launched a criticized teacher-student relationship. Two years later, the two formally lived together. At that time, Lu Xun's original match was Zhu An, and they didn't get divorced. They have been taking care of Lu Xun's mother in their hometown.
Xu Guangping's identity is even more embarrassing. At that time, she was just an aunt Xu Guangping and Lu Xun didn't care about gossip, but decided to live together.
Only child.
Soon after they lived together, Xu Guangping gave birth to a son, and Lu Xun named him Zhou Haiying. Influenced by his parents, Zhou Haiying received a good education from an early age. When Zhou Haiying was very young, he especially liked a kind of toy called Little Designer. This kind of toy is made of metal fittings, which is equivalent to our present assembled toy. Zhou Haiying often used these parts and taught himself to assemble cars and cranes. Every time he installs a new toy, he takes it down and reassembles it.
Before my father died, I always encouraged him every time he encountered obstacles in assembly. You need to explore more and do it yourself in order to feel the joy of success. His parents taught him not to pretend to be a celebrity child since he was a child. Because of his parents' words and deeds, he looked down on fame and fortune from an early age.
He often plays with the children in the alley like an ordinary child. Zhou Haiying never deliberately puts on airs as a celebrity child. Many children like to play with him very much. Everyone doesn't care that Zhou Haiying is the son of Lu Xun, and the children treat each other equally and have harmonious feelings.
Parents in Zhou Haiying's enlightenment education, there is no particularly strict requirements, always let nature take its course, never importune or force. This will lead Zhou Haiying to engage in technical work instead of literary creation in the future. 1936, Lu Xun died of tuberculosis in the hospital. At that time, Zhou Haiying was only eight years old.
Unwilling to bear the aura of my father
After Lu Xun's death, his family lost its support and was once very difficult. However, Zhou Haiying's love of technology is still full of interest. As there was no extra money for him to study at home, he had to use the lucky money he had saved for many years to pay his tuition and apply for Nanyang Radio Night School.
After finishing his studies, he began to work in a radio company. During his work, he found that he still had many shortcomings, so he applied for the physics department of Peking University. 1952 He was admitted to the Physics Department of Peking University with excellent results and embarked on the road of scientific research. Because of his bumpy experience and special family background, he is more cautious in life and dealing with people.
When I was in Peking University, many students liked to dance ballroom dancing and play bridge, but when Zhou Haiying went to see it, some people would point at me behind my back. Those words said that as the son of Lu Xun, he didn't put his mind on learning, but on these pleasures. These words also made him seldom read again, but chose to stay in the library and read books.
He has always been unwilling to live under his father's aura. What he emphasized was to win social recognition by his own ability. He never shows off his descendants to outsiders, and even chooses to hide them. After Peking University graduated, he hid his identity and joined the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. From a small clerk to a deputy ministerial cadre of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, he became a famous official.
Keep a low profile and live your life.
Lu Xun also has a nephew who is now a household name. He is the very famous Hong Kong actor Xu Shaoxiong. Xu Shaoxiong was born in Hongkong, and his family conditions were excellent since childhood. His great-grandfather was Xu Yingxun, the godson of Empress Dowager Cixi, and Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping was his aunt. There is an old Cantonese film "Seven Sons Enter the University", and the story content and plot are all stories of their family. It can be said that his family background is strong, but he is very low-key. He didn't regard identity as the capital of status, but relied on his own efforts to become a household name star from a walk-on actor.
Perhaps most people are not familiar with his name, but after seeing his photo, you will sigh, "It's him." . He has appeared in famous films such as Macau Fengyun. He also appeared in many Hong Kong TV dramas and cooperated with many famous Hong Kong movie stars, such as Chow Yun Fat, Cecilia Cheung, Louis Koo and Tony Leung Ka Fai. He is a predecessor praised by everyone in Hong Kong entertainment circle.
Nowadays, the strength of the motherland and the Excellence of future generations should be the most gratifying thing for Lu Xun. Lu Xun has made great contributions in the history of China literature, and the spirit of Lu Xun he represents has always been remembered by the world. He will walk with the times in another form.
