Features: Professor Deng Yunxiang uses The Diary of Lu Xun as a framework to record the real-life circumstances of Lu Xun's time in Beijing from the perspectives of customs and daily life. Looking back and forward, he associates people with scenes, demonstrating a small yet profound understanding. The writing is concise and sincere, wandering through the streets and alleys of Beijing, filled with rich local characteristics. Reading it allows one to see Lu Xun's image and atmosphere when visiting bookstores and inscriptions in Liulichang, reminisce about Lu Xun strolling through the streets of Beijing, and reflect on a different aspect of Lu Xun—one that differs from the famous line "Frowning coldly at a thousand critics, bowing willingly for the children."
