When Mr. Lu Xun was teaching at Xiamen University, he once went to the barber shop for a haircut. The barber didn't know Lu Xun. Seeing his simple clothes, he thought he must have little money and didn't take his hair seriously at all. In this regard, Mr. Lu Xun was not angry, but took out a large sum of money to the barber at will after the haircut-far more than the money payable. The barber was overjoyed, and his face was immediately filled with laughter.

After a while, Lu Xun went to get a haircut again. The barber was overjoyed at this and immediately took out all his housekeeping skills. His face is written with humility, "Slow work makes fine work". Without cooking, Lu Xun did not show his generosity, but took out money and counted it to the barber one by one, without giving a penny more.

The barber is puzzled: "Sir, you gave it like that last time. How can you give it like this today?" Lu Xun smiled: "Last time you were careless in geography, I gave it carelessly;" This time you are serious about geography, and I will give it seriously. The barber was very embarrassed.

2. Anecdote of Lu Xun's speech

Once he returned to Peiping from Shanghai, Beijing Normal University invited him to give a speech entitled "Literature and Force".

Some students read many articles attacking him in the newspaper, which is unfair to him. In his speech, he said: "Some people say that I came to Peiping this time to grab my job and make a comeback." But please rest assured that I will make a comeback soon. "This sentence immediately attracted laughter at the meeting.

3. Zhou Enlai "Learn for the Rise of China"

/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Zhou Enlai left his hometown and went to the northeast. At that time, Northeast China was the focus of imperialist powers' struggle in China. He got off the bus in Shenyang, and his uncle who came to pick him up pointed to a busy place and said to him, "Don't go there to play if you have nothing to do!" " "

"Why?" Zhou Enlai asked suspiciously. "That's a foreign concession. It's not good to get into trouble. There is no reason to go! " "Why is that?" Zhou Enlai gets to the bottom of it. "Why? China is depressed! " Uncle sighed and said nothing.

On a sunny Sunday, Zhou Enlai carried his uncle and a good classmate into the concession. Hey! This area is really different from other places: the streets are full of lights and excitement, and most foreigners with yellow hair, white skin and big noses and patrol policemen are arrogant.

While Zhou Enlai and his classmates were looking around, they suddenly found a group of people shouting in front of the police station. They hurried over and saw a woman in rags crying in the crowd, while a tall foreigner stood there proudly. Only after asking did I know that this woman's relative was run over by a foreigner's car. She had hoped that the police station in China would support her and punish the foreigner.

Who knows that instead of punishing the foreigner who caused the accident, China patrolman reprimanded her. All the people watching China clenched their fists. However, in foreign concessions, who dares? I can only persuade that unfortunate woman. At this time, Zhou Enlai truly realized the meaning of what his uncle called "China Depression".

After returning from the Concession, students often see Zhou Enlai alone in meditation, and no one knows what he is thinking. It was not until Zhou Enlai gave a speech in a self-cultivation class that the mystery was solved.

In the self-cultivation class that day, President Wei asked the students a question: "Why do students study?" The students answered enthusiastically. Some people say, "Learn for understanding." Some said, "Be an official by studying." Others said, "Learning is to earn money." "Reading for the sake of eating" ...

Zhou Enlai has been sitting there quietly, not in a hurry to speak. President Wei noticed, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and called the roll to let him answer. Zhou Enlai stood up and answered clearly and firmly: "Learn for the rise of China!"

President Wei does it one brace up! He never imagined that a 12-year-old child should have such ambition and mind! He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Say again, why are you studying?" "Learn for the rise of China!" The forceful words won the applause of President Wei: "Good! For the rise of China! Where there is a will, there is a way. Be a pupil! Ha ha ha! "

4, Su Qin head hanging beam.

Su Qin, a propagandist of Luoyang City in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty during the Warring States Period, lobbied with Guiguzi to learn Taoism for many years. When he saw his classmates Pang Juan and Sun Bin coming down the mountain to seek fame, he also bid farewell to his teacher Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi defected to Wei, while Su Qin traveled in other countries for several years, but achieved nothing, so he had to go home in a mess.

When Su Qin came home, his brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, younger sister and wife all laughed at him for doing nothing but gossiping. Su Qin was ashamed to hear these sarcastic words, but he always wanted to lobby the world and seek fame, so he asked his mother to sell her property and then travel around the world.

Su Qin's mother discouraged him, saying, "You don't like our local crops to support our families. Why go out and talk about wealth? " ? Isn't that to lose your real job and pursue something hopeless? If there is no livelihood in the end, don't you regret it? "Su Qin's brothers and sisters laughed at him for never changing his mind.

Su Qin knows that he has been very sorry for his family for so many years. He was ashamed and sad, and he didn't feel tears. However, Su Qin's ambition to become famous in the world remained unchanged, so he stayed at home, took out Jiang Ziya's "Yin Fu" that Master gave him when he went down the mountain, and studied at his desk day and night.

Su Qin often said to himself: "Scholars decided to take the road of seeking fame by reading. If you can't get a noble and glorious position by what you have learned, what's the use of reading more! " Thinking of this, Su Qin learned more selflessly.

In order to seize the time to study, Su Qin also came up with a good idea. When he was studying, he tied his hair with a rope and hung it on the beam. If he dozes off, his hair will wake him up. Late at night, if you feel sleepy, stab yourself in the thigh with an awl, so that you can stay awake.

5. Lu Meng studies.

Lv Meng was a general of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He has made great contributions many times, but he doesn't like reading. So Sun Quan said to Lv Meng, "You are a general now, and the burden on your shoulders is very heavy. You must read more books and study more. " Lumeng began to read. Slowly, he found many things in the book that he didn't know before.

On one occasion, he read the story that Sun Bin lured Pang Juan to underestimate his enemy by "cutting the stove" and finally defeated Pang Juan, which was an eye-opener. As a result, Lv Meng gradually fell in love with reading. When he was busy with military affairs, he plunged into the pile of books and eagerly read ancient art of war and history books. A few years later, Monroe's military ability has been greatly improved. Sun Quan was very happy, so he appointed Lu Meng as the viceroy to command the national army.
