Recently, I saw a hot search related to Lu Xun.
Each of us is familiar with Mr. Lu Xun.
Because almost every article of Lu Xun in primary and secondary schools must be memorized.
But no one expected, perhaps Lu Xun himself did not expect that his reputation known to women and children had brought countless "troubles" to future generations.
This was deeply felt by Lu Xun's eldest grandson, Zhou Lingfei.
What were you thinking at the first glance of this photo?
I know, because when I saw it, I was also thinking: This is too similar to Lu Xun!
The same hairstyle, the same pulled eyes, the same cross-browed eyebrows, and the exact same beard.
This picture is an interview with Mr. Zhou Lingfei, Lu Xun's eldest grandson, after the opening of the fourth "Lu Xun Culture Week" on the occasion of the "85th anniversary of Lu Xun's death".
Zhou Lingfei certainly did not expect that when the video of this interview was uploaded to social networking sites, he would be overwhelmed by a barrage of bullets - it was really funny to watch netizens leave messages and Lu Xun's grandson who resembled Lu Xun.
"Hearing the news", "The genes of cultural giants", "The inheritance of the next generation is really hammered", "It seems that ah, the genes are too powerful"...
Some people have the audacity to point out: "The beard is the essence."
After Mr. Lu Xun, Lu Xun's grandson has become a hot meme on the Internet.
Although the grandfather and grandson have their own "hot terrier physique", the name of "Lu Xun's grandson" is no less important to Zhou Lingfei than the crown.
The descendants of celebrities are not good, and Lu Xun's descendants are even more difficult to be.
There are many celebrities and rich businessmen who will leave wealth to future generations; and Lu Xun will leave behind more spiritual wealth.
But writing, after all, is an unheitable skill pack.
As Lu Xun's grandson, he could not write and would not be accepted by the world, so Zhou Lingfei spent the first half of his life almost "dead" with his own grandfather.
Mr. Lu Xun died on October 19, 1936, and his grandson Zhou Lingfei was born in 1953, he did not see his grandfather in person, and even like us, many of his memories of Lu Xun are also through Lu Xun's articles and the black and white photos we have all seen.
Even so, his name as "Lu Xun's grandson" could not be hidden.
This branding is innate, because his name "Lingfei" was once Lu Xun's pen name - because Lu Xun had previously published articles in the monthly magazine "Henan" and gave himself a pen name "Lingfei", which means Fenfei, and this name was eventually inherited by his grandson.
When he was very young, Zhou Lingfei played with his friends, and everyone knew that he was "Lu Xun's grandson".
When he came and went, no one remembered that his name was "Zhou Lingfei", and everyone directly called him "Lu Xun Sunzi", which led some people to think that his surname was Lu and his name was "Xun Sun Zi".
At first, Zhou Lingfei will explain, but later he will not explain.
Until one day, a classmate began to omit the "Lu Xun" in "Lu Xun's grandson" and directly called him "sun tzu". He realized that without his famous grandfather, he was two generations below anyone else.
And "Sun Tzu" is not a very good word in the context of Beijing.
In the fifth grade, the fact that Zhou Lingfei was Lu Xun's grandson reached the teacher's ears.
The teacher told him that Lu Xun was particularly great, and he wanted him to perform well, especially to write good compositions, because that was like Lu Xun.
This seems to be a matter of course for us, I can't write a good composition, do you mean to call him "Lu Xun's grandson"?
There are a few old Chinese sayings, called "the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will punch holes" and "Lao Tzu is a hero and a good man".
It is these concepts that make Zhou Lingfei carry the unbearable weight of life.
In the long run, Zhou Lingfei did not want to stay at home, and wanted to run away from home and go out to become a soldier.
At first, the military deputies would not let him, thinking that he was angry and could not bear the hardships.
Zhou Lingfei nibbled in front of him, swept the floor, grinded for a long time, and finally was admitted to joining the army.
After becoming a soldier, he felt that he could get rid of the name of Lu Xun's grandson, but he did not expect that when the commander of the recruit company named him, others called him by his name, and when he came to him: Zhou Lingfei, Lu Xun's grandson!
At that moment, he found that no matter how he escaped, he could not escape.
After the identity was revealed, he received a lot of attention, especially the recruit platoon leader.
The platoon leader found him and said, "You are Lu Xun's grandson, and it must be good to write an article."
Although Zhou Lingfei did not read much and his composition was poor, he was still forced to work as a correspondent in the Communications Department.
Writing is a big job.
Zhou Lingfei stayed up in the middle of the night, stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, and did not hold out a few words.
The platoon leader looked anxious and said why don't you write?
Zhou Lingfei said that it was more than two o'clock in the morning, too sleepy to write.
The platoon leader handed him a cigarette and said you smoke, you won't be sleepy when you smoke.
Zhou Lingfei said he would not smoke.
The platoon leader said, "Mr. Lu Xun can smoke." The implication is that your grandfather can smoke, but you can't smoke, what about it?
When the recruit company is over, the nightmare is not over.
Because of Zhou Lingfei, he was assigned to work in the health center. Zhou Lingfei was very puzzled and asked why?
Who knows that everyone around him says that Mr. Lu Xun is abandoning medicine and practicing literature, and you must also go to the health center to study medicine and inherit Mr. Lu's unfinished career.
In 1980, Zhou Lingfei became a "public student" to study in Japan.
You know, Mr. Lu Xun is very famous in Japan, and as a result, as soon as he went to Japan, he was stamped and certified as "Lu Xun's grandson".
In the language class, everyone talked about him and Lu Xun after tea, which made Zhou Lingfei look like a man, as if he could not escape the "aura" of his grandfather for a lifetime.
In Japan, Zhou Lingfei also met a "grandson" who shared his illness: Natsume Soseki's grandson.
Natsume Soseki was a great Japanese literary figure known to women and children, and his portrait appeared on the yen.
But his grandson lived a similar life to Lu Xun's grandson Zhou Lingfei.
When Zhou Lingfei asked about his life, Natsume Shushi's grandson clearly told him that he had been living in a kind of fear for the first half of his life.
Because in the eyes of the Japanese, as the grandson of Natsume Soseki, if he can't write, he will forget his ancestors.
Later, Natsume Soseki's grandson studied manga, and was still talked about in the work related to manga criticism and creation.
The two grandsons found the resonance of life here, and they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and they were speechless.
It seems that after celebrities, it is really not easy to be ah.
In the interview, Zhou Lingfei said that he finally completed the reconciliation with his grandfather, Mr. Lu Xun, together with his father.
He has now accepted the title, label and aura of "Lu Xun's grandson" and is committed to the propaganda of Lu Xun's culture, while making a living from it.
On September 28, Zhou Lingfei also delivered a speech at the launch ceremony of the new book "Complete Manuscripts of Lu Xun" at the National Library of Beijing.
His current titles are all related to Lu Xun, for example, he is now not only the president and secretary general of the Lu Xun Cultural Foundation, but also the chairman of the Shanghai Lu Xun Cultural Development Center and the visiting professor of the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.
There is even a long list of names about "Lu Xun" -
Tomato Jun probably calculated that including various presidents, visiting professors, and honorary presidents, Zhou Lingfei had a total of 12 names about "Lu Xun".
The representative work is also "Who Is Lu Xun".
It seems that Lu Xun's grandson said no, but he was still very honest to carry forward the "Lu Xun culture" and give a big thumbs up.
