We read all the lead to present a different history.
Mentioning the name Lu Xun, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as thunderous. With his profound thinking and sharp writing, Mr. Lu Xun played a great role in promoting the culture of the period of China's new democratic revolution, changed the thinking of a generation, and was praised as "the direction of Lu Xun is the direction of the new culture of the Chinese nation."

Lu Xun, formerly known as Zhou Zhangshou and later renamed Zhou Shuren, was born in a family of eunuchs in Shaoxing at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and had a rich and prosperous life when he was young, and later his family declined, and his living standards also plummeted. In the 25th year of the Qing Dynasty (1899 AD), Lu Xun entered the Mining Road School attached to the Jiangnan Lushi School to receive a new-style education, and later studied in Japan as an international student, studying medicine at the Sendai Medical College. Feeling the insensitivity of the Chinese people, he lamented that "to save the country and save the people, we need to save the mind first", so he resolutely gave up medicine and turned to the literary world, hoping to awaken the numb consciousness of the Chinese with words.

In the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906 AD), Lu Xun returned to China and married his mother's chosen wife, Zhu An. However, the radical Lu Xun did not agree with this wife who was strongly aware of the old society, and the relationship between the two was flat, and there were no offspring until Lu Xun's death. Lu Xun's real lover is Xu Guangping, who was Lu Xun's student and teaching assistant and later established a romantic relationship. Although the feelings between them were once not accepted by society, they were not shaken by secular ideas, and after some twists and turns, they finally came together.

In the first year of Xuantong (1909 AD), Lu Xun returned to China again and worked as a teacher in the Zhejiang Two-Level Normal School. Three years later, Lu Xun accepted Cai Yuanpei's invitation to work in the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, serving as the chief of the first section of the Department of Social Education of the Ministry of Education. Lu Xun thought that he could completely change the ideological status quo of the Chinese, but in the bureaucratic system of the Beiyang government, he ran into a wall everywhere, and Lu Xun was completely disappointed with the government and social reforms at that time. Later, Lu Xun was hunted down by the Beiyang government for opposing the "March 18 Massacre" and supporting the student movement, and after many trips, he came to Shanghai to become a freelance writer and continue to create literature. On October 19, 1936, Lu Xun died of tuberculosis in Shanghai at the age of 55.

Lu Xun and Xu Guangping had an only son, named Zhou Hainian, who was born in Shanghai in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China (1929 AD). Zhou Haiying has been clever and clever since childhood, and has developed a strong interest in scientific research since she grew up. In 1952, Zhou Hainian entered the Department of Physics of Peking University to study radio, and devoted his life to radio science research, he is a famous radio expert in China, and has made important contributions to the development of China's radio communication and media. In 1960, Zhou Hainian came to work at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and later served as a deputy ministerial-level cadre, and was also a member of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On April 7, 2011, Zhou Hainian passed away in Beijing.

Zhou Hainian had three sons and a daughter, Namely Zhou Lingfei, Zhou Yifei, Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Ning, of whom the eldest grandson Zhou Lingfei was the most famous. Born in Beijing in 1953, Zhou Lingfei resembled his grandfather and inherited Lu Xun's love of literature, later becoming a famous photographer and cultural planner, marrying his wife in 1982, settling in Taiwan after marriage, and returning to the mainland in 1999 to work. Today, Zhou Lingfei is still engaged in the research and dissemination of Lu Xun's literature.
▲ Xu Shaoxiong
Surprisingly, the famous Hong Kong actor Xu Shaoxiong turned out to be Lu Xun's nephew and grandson - Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping was Xu Shaoxiong's aunt. Xu Shaoxiong has had a wonderful performance in many movies and is still active in the film and television circle. Xu Shaoxiong's family background is also very amazing, his grandfather Xu Yingqi was an important member of the Qing government, recognized by Empress Dowager Cixi as a son of Gan, and his uncle Xu Chongzhi participated in the preparation of the Whampoa Military Academy as the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army. I have to say that Mr. Lu Xun's life is a legendary life, and most of his descendants are quite accomplished, continuing to write the legend of Lu Xun.
