Then he bought some books and a bunch of red peppers. When it was cold at night and it was difficult to read at night, he picked a pepper and chewed it in his mouth, sweating profusely. In this way, he persisted in studying and finally became a famous writer in China because of his hard work.

An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was studying in a private school in Shaoxing at the age of twelve, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often goes to pawn shops and pharmacies, but also helps his mother with housework.
In order not to affect his study, he must make accurate time arrangements. Since then, Lu Xun has been squeezing time almost every day. He said: time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, it always exists.
Lu Xun has a wide range of reading interests, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he has a wide range of knowledge and studies in many ways that time is very important to him.
He has been ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment are not good, but he will not give up until late at night every day. In Lu Xun's eyes, time is like life.
Finally, because of his diligence, Lu Xun became a cultural giant in the 20th century. He has made great contributions to novels, essays, essays, woodcuts, modern poems, old-style poems, translation of famous works, collation of ancient books, modern academics and so on.
