by Xiao Hong
About This Novel
This collection consists of three texts: "Memories of Mr. Lu Xun", "In Tokyo" and "Memories of Mr. Lu Xun". On October 19, 1936, Mr. Lu Xun passed away in Shanghai due to illness. At that time, the writer Xiao Hong was in Tokyo, Japan. When she learned the news late, she was shocked and deeply saddened. I wrote the article "In Tokyo" to express my condolences. After that, Xiao Hong returned to China and often met with her wife Xu Guangping. They went to her home to reminisce about old times. There was a gray-blue vase in her home with evergreens planted in it, which would last through the winter. Every time Xiao Hong went there, the flowers were always green, but the vase was placed anywhere, and finally placed in front of her husband's portrait. After the war broke out, people moved away from Peiping, and the vases were placed in Mr. Lu Xun's cemetery. Because people moved south, the cemetery lost care, and the tomb grass grew very tall, burying the vases and covering Mr. Lu Xun's porcelain statue. But no matter how far we go, the past is still young, and the people who have passed away will be remembered in our hearts. The last article in the collection, "Memories of Mr. Lu Xun", is the longest. It tells every detail of Xiao Hong and Mr. Lu Xun's family, their deep friendship, and plain records. It is a precious first-hand information to understand that era, Mr. Lu Xun, and the living conditions of his family.
