Approaching Lu Xun (12)
The Spiritual Connection between Mao Zedong and Lu Xun
Text/Lao Lang
Mao Zedong and Lu Xun never shook hands in their lives, because they never met, but their hearts are interlinked and they admire each other. This kind of pure friendship is really hard to get, which is worthy of our admiration and praised by literary historians, because from their words and thoughts, we can appreciate this sacred communication that silence is better than sound.
19 18, what an unforgettable year it was. Lu Xun published Diary of a Madman, the first vernacular novel in the history of modern literature in China. It was the first time that he adopted Lu Xun's pseudonym, which was in May. In August, 25-year-old Mao Zedong came to Beijing for the first time to organize young people from Hunan to work and study in France, and worked as a librarian in Peking University when there was no life. Mao Zedong once recalled: "Yang Changji was an ethics teacher in my former normal school and a professor at the National Peking University. I asked him to help me find a job, and he introduced me to the director of Peking University Library. This person is Li Dazhao. " Mao Zedong also met Cai Yuanpei and Hu Shi, a young professor from Peking University who returned from studying in the United States, and had contacts with many famous figures in the New Culture Movement, such as Fu Sinian and Luo Jialun.
