Lu Xun is the founder of modern Chinese literature and has great influence in the world literary world.
Many people praised him as a genius.
He said: "Where there is genius, I spend other people's coffee time writing."
The results are all made little by little.
Behind all the excellence is the self-discipline of an ascetic

Why should people be self-disciplined
When director Jiang Wen filmed "Evil Does Not Pressure Justice", he talked about why he chose Peng Yuyan as the protagonist.
He said: Peng Yuyan's figure is more beautiful than the ancient Greek sculptures, and he must be extremely disciplined when he looks at it, and he must be extremely disciplined.
And self-discipline makes people free.
Kant said that freedom is not arbitrary, but self-mastery.
Only if you can control yourself, can you have the right to choose and control your life.
After Lu Xun and Xu Guangping got married, they moved to Shanghai.
Prices in Shanghai were very high at that time, but Lu Xun was not affected at all.
He always wears ordinary cloth robes, cotton robes, and old-fashioned Chinese cloth shoes on his feet.
On weekdays, I go out alone, often take the bus or walk, and rarely call for a ride.
As for eating, it is even less exquisite, although I like to eat some 'old wine', but the things that are drunk are only vegetables, dried tofu, boiled broad beans, peanuts and the like. Although the addiction is very large, it has been smoking inferior cigarettes for many years, and good cigarettes are only used for hospitality.
"Any miscellaneous items in Lu Xun's home, including a piece of wrapping paper and a small load of rope, will not be easily thrown away, and they must be used to the fullest."
Many people asked him why he was so "cut".
He said: "Life is too comfortable, and work is tired of life."
If you indulge in the enjoyment of daily life, it is bound to increase the cost of life, then you may be forced to write a manuscript that you do not want to write, to teach lessons that you do not want to teach, and to participate in activities that you do not want to participate in.
Restraining one's desires is the first lesson of self-discipline, enjoying what is within one's own ability so that one can not be manipulated by desire.
Now many people like to use "Huabei", "white stripe" and "loan", overdraft their credit cards in advance, and consume luxury goods.
As a result, I was left in debt and lost the freedom to change jobs, the freedom to travel, and the freedom to learn and progress.
This is why a person should be self-disciplined, that is, to simply be able to be truly free in the future, a little freer in body and soul.

Excellent people are very self-disciplined, because they are too desperate, even God does not want to live up to him.
Lu Xun is not only self-disciplined in life, but also diligent in his work.
After Lu Xun met every night, it was going to be midnight, everyone else was sleeping, he was still working, and everyone else had to get up, and he began to "take a nap."
There is no entertainment and entertainment in daily life, only endless writing and checking information.
Xiao Hong said: Mr. Lu Xun often flips through the books in the chair to rest.
When he was in Shanghai, Lu Xun was very prolific, writing an essay on average every two days, which was later compiled into three collections: Pseudo-Free Books, Quasi-Wind Moon Talks, and Lace Literature.
Many times, we only see other people's good looks, but often ignore their almost masochistic efforts.
When others were out to have fun and drink coffee, Lu Xun wrote in the study.
When others are sleeping and outinging, he is still writing.
Giving and rewarding are proportional.
It was the extreme self-discipline that allowed Lu Xun to gain financial freedom and be free from the embarrassment of material life.
It was precisely because of his extreme self-discipline that Lu Xun was able to gain spiritual freedom and become the spiritual leader of the youth at that time.
It was extreme self-discipline that made this great writer in modern Chinese history.

The more disciplined, the better
The gap between people and people is widening little by little.
A trivial good habit of others, accumulated over time, may reach heights that we cannot reach.
When Lu Xun was a child, his family fell in the middle of the road.
The young Lu Xun went to the academy to take classes while buying medicine for his father.
Once in class in the morning, because the purchase of medicine was delayed, Lu Xun was late.
The gentleman scolded Lu Xun.
Lu Xun did not argue either, silently carving an early on the table.
In the days that followed, my father's illness became heavier, and the burden on the family became heavier.
Before dawn, Little Lu Xun was about to get up and run between the pawnshop and the pharmacy.
But Lu Xun never arrived late once.
▲ Lu Xun in his youth
The experience of childhood made Lu Xun extremely strict in the planning and handling of time.
He said: Time is life, wasting your time is chronic suicide.
He is one of the few writers who does not drag drafts.
He rarely had fun because he felt it was a waste of life, and he always put his energy into his own writing.
Everyone can decide how they live, some people are loose, some people run with all their might.
And in the end of life, the people who can climb to the top and look at the distance are those who have no distractions and keep moving forward.
Only self-disciplined people live the way they like and live the life they want.
There is no short way in life, every step you take, counts, the more self-disciplined, the better you are.
