Behind the three main rooms, there was a small protrusion in the middle. Lu Xun pointed to the bulging part and said, "This small room is called 'Tiger's Tail' in Beijing. From the perspective of the entire row of houses, it looks like a tiger's tail sticking out of the ground, hence the name Tiger's Tail." In the Tiger's Tail, Lu Xun gave us many teachings, shared many snacks with us, and provided us with numerous books and periodicals. Moreover, he always carefully wrapped the books and periodicals for us in square, sturdy packages before allowing us to take them away. This was a manifestation of his care for the items and a sign of respect for the authors, as the books we received were likely sent to him by the authors in several copies, which he then passed on to us.
