Features: Lu Xun once left a will: "When the child grows up, if he has no talent, he 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, none of whose descendants surpassed their parents' abilities. Although there are a few works of remembrance, the space is still limited. This is a newly revealed recollection of the later years of Lu Xun's uncle, written by Zhou Jianren's eldest daughter, Zhou Ye. Lu Xun dedicated his entire life to the grass standing firm 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 any regrets. Similarly, without regrets, we, with deep reverence and nostalgia, in his 120th anniversary of his birth, attempt to follow the life of the giant, with a touch that has not yet turned into a fossil, to touch the great heart that resists despair, to perceive the emotion of love that exists at the edge of life, politics, and spirit.
