1881On September 25th, Lu Xun was born in a south branch named Zhou in Shaoxing, south of the Yangtze River. The Qing government went into decline, and a stormy dynasty began to die out sharply. Zhou's grandfather was an official of the Beijing cabinet at that time, and he was a standard Beijing official. Zhou's ancestral grave was indeed virtuous, and later Lu Xun was fortunate to be a small official of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, which was not unrelated. Grandpa is an official in Beijing. The Zhous have forty or fifty acres of paddy fields. Even if Grandpa doesn't remit a penny from Beijing, his daily life is more than enough to drive poverty away from him. Lu Xun was lucky to be born in such a big family. The Zhou family has an atmosphere of scholarly family. There are two bookcases in Lu Xun's home, from Notes on the Thirteen Classics and Four Histories to Wang Yangming's Complete Works of Literature, History and General Meaning, from Modern Translation of Ancient Chinese Literature and Poems, to the compilation of Jing Ce Tong, and even Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Feng. Moreover, there are not only serious books that are boring and difficult to understand, but also many interesting books that children like very much, from "Flower Mirror" with illustrations to "Dream of Red Mansions" describing boys and girls. Lu Xun's childhood is incomparable even to our children now. Lu Xun in childhood will be lovely and happy. He is very strong, with Zhang Yuanyuan's face and beautiful eyes. In Shaoxing dialect, he looks "decent". In fact, he was always regarded as a beautiful figure by his hometown people before returning from Japan to get married. In today's words, he is a "handsome boy". In his childhood, he was lively and clever, and he was born naughty. Dai, his great-grandmother, is usually unsmiling and always sits solemnly in a hard plush chair at the door, which makes people feel inaccessible. Lu Xun, on the other hand, decided to Doby her and deliberately walked on the ground, pretending to slip and fall to the ground, which caused the boss to exclaim again and again: "Ah, Po, the clothes are dirty ... After a while, he walked past her and pretended to fall, so that she could scream like that again." San Tan Yin Yue was the most rigorous study in Shaoxing at that time. In fact, Lu Xun didn't want to go there to study, but the biggest gain was that Lu Xun painted a lot of pictures in "Three Tans and the Moon", which can be said to be his most romantic time. I remember that there is a compulsory course called "To Slave", to the effect that the teacher gives a word and asks students to choose the opposite word according to their meaning and level. Lu Xun's achievements in class have been praised many times by the headmaster, Mr. Shou Jason Wu. Once, a classmate surnamed Gao peeked at Mr. Shou's lecture topic, entitled "Unicorn", and quietly asked him, "What do you think I am good at?" Lu Xun said: "You are good to the four-eyed dog. "That classmate answered Mr. Shou with a" four-eyed dog "in class. Mr. Shou is nearsighted and wears glasses. Hearing this, he was furious and severely scolded the classmate. Then he looked at Lu Xun, but covered his face with a book and couldn't help laughing. Another time, I heard a rumor that Wu Xiucai, surnamed He, often beat and scolded passing pupils at home, so Lu Xun saw it and ambushed at the door of that family, ready to beat him up. They are still children, but the surname is Wu Xiucai. In order to ensure victory, Lu Xun deliberately took his grandfather's broadsword and hid it under his coat. Fortunately, Wu Xiucai heard the wind and didn't want to get into trouble with the children. Otherwise, I believe that Lu Xun will definitely pull out the knife and give it to Wu Xiucai. When he was seven or eight years old, he often heard adults say "sell X" in their speeches. He is very curious. How much is this X? So according to his own observation, he boldly imagined: draw a long string of bananas and the like, hang them in a string, and draw a steelyard next to them, which is considered as "selling". Of course, what Lu Xun misses most is the time with his second brother Zhou Zuoren. At that time, he and his second brother Zhou Zuoren would lie in bed and chat every night before going to bed, weaving fairy tales that looked strange during the day. What's there? There is a fairy mountain with giant ants and natural pavilions like elephants, where immortals can refine jade and mend bones, and even come back to life ... night after night, they talk so hard that many details are repeated over and over again. The two children were lying in the dark, really completely immersed in the fantasy fairy tale world. In a person's talent, the most precious thing is the passion of fantasy, the love for people, the sensitivity to poetry, and even the vitality of the whole youth, all of which are combined with this passion. On the other hand, the suppression of human nature by society begins with depriving him of his dream state of mind. When you find that you no longer have fantasies and dreams, you are completely squeezed by society. Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren were thirteen or fourteen when they made Nighttalk. Perhaps it was the most romantic time in his and Zhou Zuoren's life. Under the night sky of childhood, two carefree children embraced in a warm bed, dreaming sweet dreams. This is very different from Lu Xun's later life. It seems that life is indeed full of variables. When Lu Xun was a child, he often lived with his mother at his grandmother's house in Anqiaotou, Shaoxing, and later at his uncle's house in Huangfuzhuang. Anqiaotou and Huangfuzhuang are both in the water town outside Chang 'an Gate in Shaoxing, and the wide and narrow rivers flow quietly through the village. Lu Xun likes to go to the countryside. He regards it as a free world, a brand-new world. Because here, you can not only avoid reading the profound Four Books and Five Classics, but also live freely with farmers' children, boating, catching fish and shrimps on the cobweb-covered river, enjoying the night view of the water with a little fishing fire, or going to the shore to put geese, herd cattle and pick arhat beans and breathe fresh air ... Whenever there is a social drama in the village, Lu Xun and Mix. Sometimes, he also learns acting and plays imp with the children of farmers. They drew some colorful pictures on their faces, jumped onto the stage with steel forks in their hands and played happily. The countryside was very attractive to Lu Xun as a teenager. In this free world, Lu Xun not only learned a lot of social knowledge and production knowledge, but also established a deep friendship with the children of peasant families, gradually understood the industrious and simple character of peasants, and also saw the bloody facts of oppression and class exploitation in the old society. In a fishing song often recited by Lu Xun and farmers' children, there is such a solemn and stirring sentence: "Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days (you don't go fishing in the river for two days), you are white with hunger; Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days, you will cry. " These have had a far-reaching impact on the development of Lu Xun's thought, making Lu Xun know that farmers are "oppressed all their lives and suffer a lot, which is different from flowers and birds."
