Features: The old house grew farther and farther away from me; the landscapes of my hometown also gradually distanced themselves from me, but I did not feel much attachment. I only felt that I was surrounded by invisible high walls on all sides, isolating me and making me extremely annoyed; the image of the little hero with a silver collar in the watermelon field, which I had been very clear about, suddenly became blurred, and this made me extremely sad. Lu Xun is a modern most famous thinker and writer. He spent his unforgettable youth and young adulthood in his hometown Shaoxing, and many of his famous works are set in Shaoxing. Lu Xun's feelings for his hometown are quite complex: he is full of love for the places and companions where he had adventures and played as a child, but towards the ignorant, selfish, and self-interested people of that era, as well as the tragic and laughable events, Lu Xun's satire was merciless. Photographer Lu Zongyin traveled throughout the ancient city of Shaoxing, which has a thousand-year cultural tradition, to follow in Lu Xun's footsteps and capture his feelings, using his precious lens to record everything related. The wonderful text, profound meaning, and striking photographs make this Lu Xun anthology more three-dimensional, leaving a deeper and more moving impression.
