On November 6, the "Love and Drifting - An Exhibition of Letters commemorating the 110th Anniversary of Xiao Hong's Birth" opened at the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature in Beijing. The exhibition brings together the Heilongjiang Literature Museum, the Xiao Hong Former Residence Memorial Hall and the Xiao Hong Research Association, and combines a number of letters collected by Xiao Dazhong, the grandson of Xiao Jun, with the collection of letters from the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, taking Xiao Hong's life in Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong as clues, and exhibits a total of 40 related letters, supplemented by more than 100 versions of Xiao Hong's biography.

Due to Xiao Hong's early death and the special age of creation, her surviving manuscripts are very rare, and the letters outside the works are of great value for examining Xiao Hong's life experience. The letters exhibited in this exhibition are divided into three parts: from the sea to the blue sea and blue sky of Shanghai, the lonely figure of Dongying Fuso, and the final stop of the life journey, including Lu Xun's letters to Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun in Shanghai, Xiao Hong's letters to Xiao Jun in Tokyo and Beijing, and Xiao Hong's letters to Huagang during his time in Hong Kong. Some of these letters are from the collection of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, of which 30 letters from "Erxiao" separating the two places and Hongyan passing on the book were provided by Xiao Dazhong, and Zhang Haining, vice president of the Xiaohong Research Association of Heilongjiang Province and executive director of the Xiaohong Literature Museum, wrote explanatory words. The paper is short and long, and behind the ink is the talent and tenderness in Xiao Hong's life trek.

It is reported that the exhibition will last until January 3, 2022, and the audience can make an appointment to visit through the WeChat public account of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature.
