To say that the most influential literary scholar in modern and modern China is Mr. Lu Xun, after all, there are so many Lu Xun works in textbooks, and the most "well-known" figure in his pen is Yan Tu.
The story of "Xun Ge" and "Leap Earth" makes readers sigh. “
"Leaping Earth" is also Lu Xun's favorite character, and this is not his fiction, but it is indeed a person.
01
His original name was Zhang Yanshui, two years older than Lu Xun, his father was a helper of the Zhou family, and once he went to the city to help his father, he had the opportunity to meet Lu Xun. Two children of similar age soon got together. Leaping Earth brings a whole new world to Xun Brother, and Xun Brother also shows a new way of life for Xun Tu.
Perhaps because of the influence of Xun Ge, Yan Tu went back to talk about going to school, and in terms of his father's financial ability, it was not difficult for Yan Tu to want to go to school, but unfortunately, Yan Tu had not yet read school, and his father fell ill. Later, due to the zhou family's fall, Xun Ge's life fell into a predicament.
And The leap soil also had to carry the burden of life because of his father's illness.
Lu Xun did not give up reading and studying, relying on the pen in his hand to become a generation of literary heroes, and his life was still passable. And the leaping soil, almost all the work that can be done, what to pick the soil, plant the land, shake the boat is all out of the question. But no matter how hard he tried,
The family had trouble even filling their stomachs, let alone going to school.
When the two meet again, it is Lu Xun who returns to his hometown, and Yan Tu brings his children to help him carry his luggage, just like in the novel, Yan Tu has been devastated by life to numb and old Dragon Bell.
When Lu Xun's family decided to move to Beijing, Yan Tu took his daughter to see her off. It was also this meeting that made Lu Xun's heart feel like there were a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word, he didn't understand why the little friend who had nothing to say at that time had now become like this.
This also became the opportunity for him to create "Hometown".

After that, the two childhood friends never had the opportunity to meet again. In 1934, there was a drought in his hometown, and he could only sell the few acres of land left in his family in order to live, but his life still did not get better, and finally he died because he had a bad sore on his back and really had no money to treat it.
Lu Xun also died in 1936 due to a sudden deterioration in his condition.
The leap soil is gone, and the fate of his children is even more emotional. The eldest son, Qi Sheng, was the one who had carried the luggage for Lu Xun when he was a child, and when he was a child, he was a copy of the leaping earth.
He is said to have died of the plague in 1940.
Some of the other four sons wandered around to make a living because they really couldn't survive, and some died prematurely, but they only heard about it, and no one knew what the end would be.
The daughter was lucky enough to marry into the village next door and finally survived that difficult time. She was later interviewed by the media, and many stories about the leaping earth were told by her.

When Qisheng died, his son Zhang Gui was only three years old and was fostered in his uncle's house. I thought he would be like his father and grandfather, but I didn't expect that life would take a turn for the better.
In 1954, the hometown of Shaoxing built a memorial about Lu Xun, and the staff heard about the relationship between Zhang Gui and Lu Xun and decided to hire him to work at the memorial hall. Zhang Gui couldn't believe that he, who couldn't read a basket of big characters, could actually work in a place where only cultural people could come.
The staff encouraged him that it didn't matter if he couldn't read, he could learn, but his relationship with Lu Xun was unique.
Zhang Gui cherished this opportunity to change his destiny, and he did some work within his power in the memorial hall during the day and went to night school at night to learn cultural knowledge. His grandfather and father's wish to learn culture could not be realized, and his generation finally came true.
Through his own efforts, Zhang Gui later became the curator of the cultural center.
He also became an authoritative figure on Lu Xun's research in China.
Through his own experience, he knows the importance of cultural knowledge, and he tells his children the examples of his grandfather and father, so that they can study well, and only reading can change their destiny. His children are now also successful in their careers. Zhang Gui said that his children were also very emotional, and the children of the Zhang family finally had a happy childhood.
