"Eilean Says" everyone has learned, right? The famous phrase "out of the mud without staining" has been passed down for thousands of years. Well, let's remember this classic text first. Let's first talk about the relationship between Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai.
Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai
At a meeting in Wuhan in 1938 to commemorate the second anniversary of Lu Xun's death, Zhou Enlai made it clear that he might be a relative of Lu Xun, saying: "... At the same time, in terms of bloodline, I may also be Mr. Lu Xun's own family, because they are all born in the Zhou family in Shaoxing City. "
At that time, everyone just listened casually, after all, Lu Xun's original name was Zhou Shuren, and Chinese he met people with the same surname, they all said that it was a family five hundred years ago. But Zhou Enlai was serious. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Enlai specially entrusted his friends to investigate his relationship with Lu Xun, and clearly said that he should be Lu Xun's own family.
Entrusted by the premier, a group of people ran to the Zhejiang area to investigate carefully. Soon the results came out, confirming that the two were of the same clan, and according to the generation, Lu Xun was one generation older, and he was considered zhou Enlai's uncle.
The specific relationship is like this.
Lu Xun's hometown is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, in fact, Zhou Enlai's ancestral home is also Shaoxing, Zhejiang. In The Baohu Bridge in Shaoxing City, there is a brick and tile old mansion commonly known as "Hundred Years Hall", in which there is a Taigong named Zhou Xinong, who has a hand-copied "Old Eight Houses Sacrifice Book", which contains the names of Yunmen (Zhou Panlong, the grandfather of Zhou Enlai), the son of the Duke of Qiao Shui (Zhou Guangxun), and the son of the Duke of Yunmen, Mao Chen (Zhou Yineng, that is, Zhou Enlai's father). According to the record of the "Old Eight Houses Sacrifice Book", by the generation of Zhou Enlai's grandfather Zhou Panlong, the Zhou family had lived in Shaoxing for eight generations. Before the Zhou family lived in a place called Houma, it was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Panlong's ancestor Zhou Qing moved from Houma to Shaoxing to live in order to avoid military disasters. Zhou Qing's great-grandfather was named Zhou Mao, and Zhou Mao's grandfather was named Zhou De. And this Zhou De is the common ancestor of Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai.
Zhou Enlai mentioned this on many occasions. In 1952, Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping visited Zhou Enlai's house, and Zhou Enlai said seriously, "I should call you uncle." In 1969, Premier Zhou visited Lu Xun's third brother, Zhou Jianren, and affectionately called him his uncle.
So the question is, why did I talk about "Eileen Says" at the beginning of my article? Because its author, Zhou Dunyi, is the direct ancestor of Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai. Zhou Dunyi was the founder of Confucian rational thought in the Song Dynasty, as well as a great writer and philosopher. Zhou Dunyi's twelfth grandson was Zhou De. Therefore, Lu Xun should be the twentieth grandson of Zhou Dunyi, and Zhou Enlai is his twenty-first grandson. Lu Xun's grandfather Zhou Fuqing also recognized himself as a descendant of Zhou Dunyi, and he wrote in his resume: "The first ancestor Yuan Gong (i.e., Zhou Dunyi), Song Feng Ru Nanbo, Yuan Feng Dao Guo Gong, scholar called Lian Xi Mr. Li Xi, from the Temple of Ancestral Literature. In the old days, the yellow lamp of Lu Xunjia's house was also written on the three black characters of "Runanzhou" (that is, Runanbo Zhou Dunyi).

Writing about this is not only emotional, worthy of being a famous descendant, Zhou Enlai and Lu Xun can use the words of their ancestors to describe: "out of the mud and not stained."
So who were Zhou Dunyi's ancestors? His name was Zhou Bo, that is, the one who rebelled with Liu Bang at the end of Qin, and was given the title of Marquis of Dai and Tai wei. After Liu Bang's death, Empress Lü united with the Lü clan to persecute the Liu clan, and it was this Zhou Bo who led the army to overthrow the Lü clan and install Liu Bang's fourth son on the throne, that is, the Han Wen Emperor in the rule of Wenjing. Zhou Dunyi was the thirty-seventh grandson of Zhou Bo.
By the way, the original wife of Lu Xun's family was called Zhu An, and Zhu Ziqing was a distant relative, yes, Zhu Ziqing, who wrote the article "Back Shadow".
Lu Xun's wife, Xu Guangping, is the aunt of Hong Kong gold medal supporting actor Xu Shaoxiong. Xu Shaoxiong's uncle, Xu Chongzhi, was the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army who participated in the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy, while another uncle, Xu Chongqing, served as the director of the Guangzhou Education Bureau.
Xu Shaoxiong
Xu Guangping gave birth to Lu Xun's only son named Zhou Haiying, and Zhou Haiying's son was named Zhou Lingfei. In the early 1980s, while studying in Japan, Zhou Lingfei fell in love with a female classmate from Taiwan, but for political reasons at that time, Taiwan and the mainland tried their best to prevent it. For the sake of love, Zhou Lingfei decided to settle in Taiwan. Before leaving, he issued a statement at the airport: the move was purely for love and had no other purpose. However, Zhou Lingfei's move was once named "defection". His father, Zhou Haiying, was affected shortly after his work. Zhou Lingfei also had a rough life in Taiwan, once unable to find a job because he was from the mainland and was a descendant of Lu Xun.
Zhou Lingfei
Zhou Zhang's daughter is called Zhou Jingxin, grew up in Taiwan, 1.60 meters tall, weighs only 43 kilograms, has a sweet smile, fashion is beautiful, recently became popular because of participating in the Taiwanese variety show "I Guess I Guess I Guess Guess", and intends to develop in the entertainment industry. But according to her, she didn't know who her great-grandfather was when she was a child. Because the Taiwan authorities were hostile to the banning of Lu Xun, until the 1980s, Lu Xun's works were still listed as banned books by the Taiwan authorities. If someone is brought in from customs, it can be confiscated or even sentenced. Until the second year of high school, in order to accompany her grandparents, Zhou Jingxin was sent to Beijing by her parents from Taiwan. Grandpa chose Lu Xun Middle School, which is close to home, for her. This year, she only learned Lu Xun's articles, but she did not fully understand them. She was not interested in literature, only the Internet, singing, swimming. Her idol is Jolin Tsai.

Zhou Lingfei's current identity is the director of the Shanghai Lu Xun Cultural Development Center, responsible for preparing films and TELEVISION series about Lu Xun's life and works, and editing books about Lu Xun. Zhou Haiying is the chairman of this non-corporate cultural institution.
