Due to the long time, the party concerned is no longer alive. Today, we can't know what two letters Yan Limin wrote to Mr. Lu Xun. Judging from the limited information left, Yan Limin's name at that time was Yan Bangding. The first letter was that he was arrested and imprisoned in Peiping on 1935 for "being suspected of * * * production party". After he was released from prison the following year, he was renamed "Yan Limin" on March 27th. At this time, it was only half a year before Mr. Lu Xun died, and he was very weak. However, after receiving Yan Limin's letter, he replied in time. Lu Xun's reply language is sincere and plain. He is kind and natural to a young man he has never met, and talks about everything, just like an old friend. Judging from the content of Mr. Lu Xun's reply, Yan Limin wrote this in his letter to Lu Xun: His father was very strict in discipline and once locked him in a dark room; His sixth uncle showed Lu Xun's books to young people under the age of 20; He asked Mr. Lu Xun for two books and photos; Ask Mr. Wang what books he should read. Mr. Lu Xun said in the letter
Yan Lijun:
I received the letter of March 27th. Although it turned several times, it was still fast in the end.
I think your father is a good man, but he has a bad memory. Of course, he didn't like being locked up in a sunspot when he was a child, but later he forgot the pain at that time and came to lock up his children, but it's time not to lock you up again. I hope you have a good memory. When you are old, don't hit the child casually, the child will make mistakes. Tell him well.
Your sixth uncle is even better. I'm a little upset that I haven't heard from him for a year, but he's too impatient. It is inappropriate to show my book to young people under twenty. They were not easy to understand until they were thirty, but now that I have read it, I don't need to say anything more. I have found the two books you want and will send them to the bookstore by registered mail tomorrow, as well as a watch and a magazine (Haiyan No.2). In fact, the contents of the magazine are nothing to be afraid of, but officials are always timid and always fierce, so they can't get out.
There is also a book, Jade Attractions Collection, which is woodcut. Just because I printed it, I will send it by the way for everyone to have a look. If you give me a letter, it is more appropriate to transfer it from the bookstore written on the last page of this book.
A photo is sandwiched in the paper sleeve of "Aftersound Collection". This was taken about four or five years ago, but it's new. I don't like looking at faces very much, so I don't take it often. Don't you look like you're going to abuse children? Hold on, put it in the drawer.
Asking me what books to read will put me in a bit of a dilemma. There are many books printed for children now, but because I don't study children's literature, I don't pay attention to them. As far as I can see, it's good to see the harmless ones, but some of them are just nonsense. I want to be careful in the future. If I see anything good, I'll tell you. But I mean, you should read books on science (naturally interesting and easy to understand) and travel notes, not literature.
……
Ok, talk to you later. Good luck.
You have made progress.
Lu Xun's The Second Night in April
This letter is addressed to Yan Limin, but Lu Xun used "you" in many places, which shows that it is also addressed to a generation of literary youth.
On April 1936, Lu Xun received another letter from Yan Limin. From Lu Xun's reply, we can see the general content of his letter: the books and letters sent by Mr. Wang have been received; He loves reading Mr. Lu Xun's books and literary books. He wants to publish the letter that Mr. Wang gave him and ask for his advice. At the end of the letter, his name was changed. It is estimated that he wrote the word "Yan Bangding" when he signed the letter. This is his real name. Thinking that the name Yan Limin is used to write letters to my husband, I changed the word "Yan Bangding" to Yan Limin. When Lu Xun saw this, he knew that the word "Yan Limin" was a pseudonym.
Lu Xun wrote back to Yan Limin the night after he received the letter, that is,1April 5, 936/KLOC-0. This famous answer was selected as a primary school textbook after the founding of New China, which benefited several generations.

Yan Lijun:
I received a letter dated 10 yesterday, and I was relieved to learn that those books had been received. You said that you only like reading my books, probably because I often talk about current affairs. However, just looking at one person's work will lead to a bad result: you won't get much benefit, and you must pick many flowers like bees collect honey. If you bite in one place, your income will be limited and boring.
Reading literature books is not good. In the past, young artists often hated mathematics, physics, history, geography and biology, and thought these were insignificant. Later, I became ignorant of studying literature and began to write my own articles. Therefore, I hope that everyone will not put down science and blindly drill into literature. For example, the ancients saw that the moon was short of flowers and tears, which was understandable. At that time, natural science was still underdeveloped, and of course they didn't understand that this was a natural phenomenon. But if someone cries now, he is an idiot. But I have never paid attention to children's books, so I can't tell which books are suitable now. There may be some popular science books in Ming Kai Bookstore. Let's investigate.
……
If my letter is to be published and there is a place to publish it, I can agree. Didn't we say something that we couldn't tell anyone? If there is, since I have said it, I am not afraid to publish it.
Finally, I want to tell you something you neglected. If you change your name, few people will write your name wrong, so this tells me it's a pseudonym. Also, I think you have read an article about children in women's lives?
Let's finish it. hope
Hello, guys.
Lu Xun's "April 15th Night".
Lu Xun's letters are the expression of his true feelings, which are open to everyone and have a simple and natural beauty. He is always caring for young artists, and he has a feeling of being trampled upon by others. His letter to Yan Limin is a good example. His personality strength is enormous. Yan Limin later grew up from a young man who loved literature to a professional revolutionary, which was not unrelated to Lu Xun's teaching and influence.
Yan Limin, whose real name is Yan Bangding, was born at 19 12 in Yanjiagou village, south of liangping county, Chongqing. He studied in Sichuan No.4 Normal University in his early years, went to Peiping from 65438 to 0932, went to junior high school in Nankai Middle School in Tianjin, and went to Peking Hongda Middle School after graduation. Influenced by the progressive thought, I founded a progressive publication with other students in high school. Influenced by new cultural ideas, I love literature and admire Mr. Lu Xun. 1935 was arrested and imprisoned by the opposition because of "suspected * * * party". 1936, shortly after he was released from prison, he wrote a letter to Mr. Lu Xun under the pseudonym of a child. Unexpectedly, his two letters quickly got a reply from my husband.
1938, Yan limin entered Yan' an kangda through his uncle Yan fu (who worked in the new fourth army at that time and served as the commander of jinan military area command artillery after the founding of new China) and the political department of the new fourth army. 1947, Yan Limin, then the instructor of a regiment in the second column of the East China Field Army, died heroically in the Battle of South China, and shed his last drop of blood for the liberation of the people of.
