As a great writer in China, many of Lu Xun's works have appeared in students' textbooks and been studied by students, the most impressive of which is Lu Xun's description of his childhood playmate Yan Tu. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the image of this little teenager holding a steel fork in his hand was vivid and vivid under Mr. Lu Xun's description, but later the fate of the leap earth was regrettable.
No matter how vivid the soul at the beginning is, after the devastation of life, it will become decayed, which is the torture given by the old society at that time.
In fact, there is a person in the leaping soil, he is Mr. Lu Xun's small chapter leap water, and his life is very miserable. Zhang Yanshui is two years older than Lu Xun, and their family's friendship with Lu Xun's family is very deep, Zhang Yanshui's father often helps Lu Xun to work, and his mother is Lu Xun's grandmother, that is, the prototype of the eldest mother. When he was fourteen years old, Zhang Yanshui was taken to Lu Xun's house by his father to help take care of the sacrificial vessels, so he met the twelve-year-old Lu Xun and became a deep friend, which is the scene described by Mr. Lu Xun in the article.
In Lu Xun's article, he and The two people of Yan Tu were separated from each other and had no contact, and finally met thirty years apart, when things were not human beings. But in fact, Zhang Yanshui and Lu Xun were in constant contact, and once Lu Xun was still playing with Zhang Yanshui in Shaoxing City during the winter vacation, when the two were still young people with great style, there was no barrier between them, and the relationship was as good as brothers.
However, the good times did not last long, and three years later, Zhang Yanshui's father died suddenly, so the young Zhang Yanshui became the only pillar of the family. In order to feed several members of the family, Zhang Yanshui had to bury his head in the coolie, and later became the leaping soil of Mr. Lu Xun's pen.
In reality, the reunion between Zhang Yanshui and Mr. Lu Xun was in the winter of 1919, Zhang Yanshui brought his seventeen-year-old son to help Lu Xun carry his luggage, and at the end he also took his daughter Zhang Ahua to stand on the "Zhang Ma Bridge" in front of Mr. Lu Xun's former residence to send Lu Xun off. At that time, the small boat carried by Lu Xun drove for a long time, and Zhang Yanshui was reluctant to leave until the boat could not be seen, and neither of them thought about it, this was the last time they would see each other in their lives.
Why did the vivid and energetic teenager in Mr. Lu Xun's memory become like this? In Lu Xun's article, there are several lines of leaping earth that can be seen how hard his life is, in fact, in real life, Zhang Yanshui is similar, not only to farm and fish, but also to pick things on boats, and there will be no rest for a year. Later, there was a natural disaster, Zhang Yanshui was forced to sell the land, and the living standard was pulled down by a large margin, and finally Zhang Yanshui fell seriously ill, because there was no money to heal and died of illness.
According to his daughter Ah Hua's recollection, when Zhang Yanshui was ill, his daughter took care of him to rub thick water for him, but in fact, it was very painful, but Zhang Yanshui did not say a word, and before he died, he had been thinking about his friend Lu Xun all his life, and his mouth was nagging to bring him some dried green beans.
The most uncomfortable thing is that Zhang Yanshui's son, the teenager like him, also died of cholera later. Fortunately, Zhang Yanshui's younger daughter survived the hard days, and when she grew up, she married a family surnamed Mao, and finally enjoyed her old age. When Zhang Ahua was interviewed, Zhang Yanshui's third son also appeared at the scene, and he was still in very good health after he was over the age of Hua Jia.
The most gratifying thing is that Zhang Gui, the grandson of Zhang Yanshui, became a very good researcher of modern literature after hard study, and served as the deputy director of the Lu Xun Literature Memorial Hall in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
The story of Lu Xun and Zhang Yanshui, a good brother, has made many people unforgettable, in fact, what is even more memorable is the background of the Republic of China at that time. Although the seemingly flashy Republic of China only existed for a few decades, this period was indeed an unforgettable era of natural disasters in the rural areas of Zhejiang, and between 1928 and 1929, many parts of Zhejiang suffered severe floods, droughts and insect plagues. In fact, Zhang Yanshui was not only Mr. Lu Xun's playmate, he was also a microcosm of the peasants in Zhejiang at that time, and a tragic role under the big era at that time.
Even more terrible than the natural disasters was the government of the Republic of China, which ruled the people at that time, and they chose to turn a blind eye to the people's disasters, and they also squeezed these poor people, even if the natural disasters continued to make them pay heavy taxes. At that time, the people paid nine times more taxes during the Republic of China period than in the late Qing Dynasty, and even the trend of continuous increase later appeared.
It was precisely because Lu Xun saw the "leaping earth" change from liveliness to numbness, and he also understood the social situation at that time and the suffering of the people, and he understood that studying medicine could not save the people at that time. Only knowledge can save the people who are lagging behind and being beaten, so he chooses to pick up the pen and become a fighter.
The era of suffering has come to an end with the efforts of our ancestors, and although the standard of living has improved a lot, we still cannot forget it.
