Lu Xun is a well-known name for women and children in modern Chinese history. As a Chinese born under the red flag and raised in the spring wind, no one has not read Lu Xun's articles, and thanks to Mr. Lu Xun's special style, many of his famous sentences we have almost reached the point of "unforgettable", in other words, "DNA has moved", such as "The tragic image in memory of Liu and Zhenjun" has made me unbearable to look at, and the rumors have made me unbearable to hear", "True warriors dare to face the dripping blood, bleak life", "Do not erupt in silence, perish in silence", And the widely ridiculed Lu Xuntian: "There are two trees in front of the door, one is a jujube tree, and the other is a jujube tree." It can be said that Mr. Lu Xun's influence on us has penetrated into all aspects of life, his articles not only have sharp writing, profound spirit, but also a witty and humorous side, for us to talk about after dinner to relieve our worries, Lu Xun himself is not only the "horizontal eyebrow cold to a thousand fingers, bowing down to the cattle" worried about the country and the people's backbone image, he has become more cordial and richer.
Lu Xun, whose original name was Zhou Shuren, was born in 1881, and his hometown is located in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, where there have been many historical and cultural celebrities, such as Qiu Jin, a revolutionary woman who does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and Cai Yuanpei, the leader of the New Culture Movement, and perhaps only such a rich Jiangnan water town can give birth to a figure like Lu Xun who thinks broadly and has unique southern characteristics. As the founder of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun is well-known in the world literary circles, and has a very high evaluation in the world, he has many masterpieces, "Scream", "Wandering", "Diary of a Madman", he once said that studying medicine can not save Chinese so as to abandon medicine and use the pen as a knife to cast my Chinese soul, these are all well known to us, but in Lu Xun's body, there are also some interesting things that we do not know much, such as when he studied in Japan, he was also deeply troubled by homework, and many courses were frantically tempted on the edge of passing.
Similarly, many people will wonder, as a well-known literary artist, what is Lu Xun's family situation? Lu Xun's family was very well-off when he was young, and he studied in the private school Sanwei Bookstore in his hometown, but the Zhou family later fell in the middle of the road because of an accident, and Lu Xun also went to the countryside to live, the living environment changed very greatly, and the changes in the family when he was a child brought great influence to Lu Xun, and this influence was reflected in his articles, such as the well-known "From The Hundred Grass Garden to the Sanwei Bookhouse". After becoming famous, Lu Xun no longer relied on the capital of his family, but made money through creation. Then some people have to ask, as the top literary scholar of that era, how much money can Lu Xun make?
The first is Lu Xun's income as a civil servant. In 1912, Lu Xun was invited by Cai Yuanpei to serve with the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China government for a total of 14 years. During his tenure, Lu Xun's monthly salary was 360 yuan of ocean, converted into today's currency value, a piece of ocean is worth about 110 yuan, and considering the turmoil at that time, the Republic of China government can not pay all the salaries, Lu Xun's monthly income as a civil servant is about 20,000 yuan. This wage was quite high both from the current point of view and from the perspective of the situation at that time, according to the price of the Republic of China at that time, Lu Xun's family could already live a very moist life with this wage, but this is far from the whole of Lu Xun's income.
During Cai Yuanpei's reform of the Ministry of Education into a graduate school, Lu Xun was also specially hired as a special writer of the graduate school, the monthly salary of this job is 300 yuan, and then converted to more than 30,000 yuan per month, with an annual salary of nearly 400,000 yuan. It can be seen from this that the life of Lu Xun's family can be said to be quite rich at that time, but this is not the whole of his income. As a pen-working author, Lu Xun's most important income is actually the fee and royalties, he publishes articles in the press every month can earn him about 500 oceans of writing fees, which is another income of more than 50,000 yuan, as well as royalties, Lu Xun's books were very popular at that time, there was once a publishing house gave Mr. Lu Xun a one-time royalty loss fee of 20,000 oceans, that is, a one-time to Mr. Lu Xun more than two million yuan.
In addition to the fee and royalties, Mr. Lu Xun is also an enthusiastic educator, because he is extremely famous, very popular with young students, all universities like to invite Lu Xun to give lectures or teach, Lu Xun once lectured at Xi'an University, but also as a professor at Xiamen University, this education income is also not cheap, can reach tens of thousands of yuan per month. Such an income scale, both then and now, is difficult for ordinary people to match. This also shows that Mr. Lu Xun's achievements in literature are beyond the reach of ordinary people, in other words, it is actually reasonable to match income and achievements, we have no reason to ask those who are excellent and have outstanding contributions to live a hard and simple life, just like those diligent and excellent scientific research workers now, we should pay more bonuses to encourage, after all, some actors are now slurred and can earn 2.08 million yuan a day.
In fact, Mr. Lu Xun can get such a high salary, but also related to the historical situation at that time, the Republic of China government attaches great importance to higher education, the investment in higher education is very rich, at that time any university teacher can get tens of thousands of yuan a month, if it is a more powerful teacher, it is possible to get a salary of fifty or sixty thousand yuan, so it is not surprising that a grade like Mr. Lu Xun can have such a high income. As for Mr. Lu Xun himself, what we must always remember is his profound thoughts and immortal spirit, he is a great writer and thinker, he is a warrior with a pen, charging in the battlefield of culture.
