Recently, Lu Xun's grandson Zhou Lingfei appeared in an interview with the media to talk about interesting things between him and his grandfather, which attracted the attention of netizens.
Zhou Lingfei is currently the president of the Lu Xun Cultural Foundation, and also the dean of the "Lu Xun and World Culture Research Institute" of Beijing Language and Culture University, and has been dedicated to the inheritance and promotion of Lu Xun culture in his later years.
Zhou Lingfei's appearance can be said to be "carved out of a mold" with his grandfather Lu Xun, if it were not for his proud height, perhaps some people would have mistaken him and Lu Xun.
Zhou Lingfei is very good at storytelling, super eloquent, witty, and describes several things particularly vividly in three words and two words:
Zhou Lingfei said in an interview that he, like everyone else, had never met Lu Xun. But people always want to find some kind of inheritance in his cool grandfather's face. "After graduating from high school, I went to join the army, because I wanted to escape an environment where everyone knew me, and no one knew me when I was a soldier." I just didn't expect that on the first day of the training of the recruit company, the company commander named "Zhou Lingfei, Lu Xun's grandson." After the recruit company was assigned, I was assigned to the health center. I asked why, and they said that Lu Xun originally studied medicine, but later abandoned medicine and followed Literature, and you want to complete your grandfather's unfinished business. There are many more such things: if I were to write a newsletter, the last thing I would write was an essay, and if they didn't believe it, they had to write it, because I was Lu Xun's grandson. No ruts, write it, get up a head, can't write, it's already two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, too sleepy, the platoon leader took a cigarette for me to smoke, I said no, he said how is it possible, Lu Xun smokes.
Lu Xun's son Zhou Haiying had four children, namely the eldest son Zhou Lingfei, the second son Zhou Yifei, the third son Zhou Lingyi and the younger daughter Zhou Ning, perhaps influenced by his father's concept that "the road of his own life should be followed by himself", and none of these four descendants embarked on the road of literary creation.
Zhou Lingfei and his father
One of the most controversial is Zhou Lingfei, who studied in Japan in 1979 and fell in love with Taiwanese Zhang Chunhua in Tokyo. In 1982, he married Zhang Chunhua in Taiwan, stayed in Taiwan after Zhou, and Zhou was originally a party member, and announced his resignation before moving from Tokyo to Taiwan in 1982. His father was so angry that he severed the father-son relationship with him.
Due to the decline of his wife's family, the Taiwan authorities banned Lu Xun again, and had no choice but to sell popcorn for a living.
In 1999, he left Taiwan and returned to work on the mainland. He has re-picked up the cause of promoting Lu Xun and has been committed to the inheritance and promotion of the spirit of his grandfather.
Zhou Lingfei's life has been greatly controversial, and some people say that Zhou Lingfei's practice is actually "nibbling on the old man" and using the gimmick of "Lu Xun's eldest son" to make money as a means of making a living.
He even deliberately cultivated a Lu Xun-style moustache, all kinds of rubbing grandfather's aura. The old man is old, and he still pretends to avoid Lu Xun, and then he can't do without Lu Xun, so why bother?
