Features: This book is one of the first works in China to present a combined biography of the three brothers, Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, and Zhou Jianren. It not only meticulously narrates the intellectual journey, knowledge structure, literary achievements, cultural contributions, and unique personalities of the three brothers, who lived during a pivotal period in Chinese history, but also vividly portrays the profound and tragic changes in their relationships—from early years of deep affection and shared ideals to middle age marked by estrangement and separation. Lu Xun once wrote: [After enduring all hardships, brothers remain; a smile upon meeting erases old grievances.] Clearly expressing his hope for reconciling and rekindling sibling bonds, the tragic end of the three brothers, however, was one where old grievances remained unresolved, and their reunion was filled with sorrow. Reading this leaves one sigh in regret.
