Lu Xun once left a will: "When your children grow up, if they lack talent, they can find some small job to make a living. Never become a hollow literary or artistic figure." The famous three brothers in the Zhou family had none of their descendants surpass their parents' abilities. Although there are a few works of reminiscence, the space is still limited. This is a newly revealed account of the later years of Zhou Jianren's eldest daughter, Zhou Ye, writing about her uncle, Lu Xun. Lu Xun dedicated his entire life to the grass standing tall in the wind, the sleeping masses in the iron house, the fallen cart driver on the road, and the lonely wanderer in the tavern, without complaint or regret. Similarly, without complaint or regret, we, with deep nostalgia and admiration, attempt to trace the life path of the giant on his 120th anniversary of his birth, trying to touch the great heart that resisted despair with a touch that has not yet turned to stone, to perceive the emotions of love that existed at the edge of life, politics, and spirit.
