Because of the great differences between Lu Xun and Xu Zhimo, the relationship between them is extremely bad. Liang Qichao and Lu Xun don't have much in common, they just represent two different paths of China's modern enlightenment. Liang Qichao is a mobilizer and Lu Xun is a critic.
During the debate between Lu Xun and Chen Xiying, Xu Zhimo once wrote a letter to Zhou Zuoren, saying that your brother had a strange temper, which made him helpless and so on. Xu Zhimo is gentle, unlike Lu Xun who wants to make up with Lu Xun. Lu Xun seems to have written an article satirizing Zhimo's poems.
In a word, there are many opposites in their thoughts and poetic concepts. Lu Xun studied in Japan, while Chi Mo studied in Britain and America. The opposition between them also reflects the disputes and conflicts between scholars who returned from studying in Britain and Japan during that period. However, Xu Zhimo has always played the role of peacemaker in the debate.
Extended data:
Liang Qichao is a master of China literature, while Xu Zhimo is a poet and Liang Qichao's most proud student. Xu Zhimo is good at writing poems and loves to make friends. Liang Qichao and Xu Zhimo are not only teachers and students, but also close friends.
When Xu Zhimo encounters difficulties, he will ask Liang Qichao to solve his problems. Therefore, there are countless stories about Liang Qichao and Xu Zhimo in the friendship for more than ten years. On Liang Qichao's deathbed, he recalled the student Xu Zhimo, but he still couldn't help telling the story of that year.
In his mind, Xu Zhimo is a good student and friend, and the only thing that makes him unhappy is to ask him to be a witness. If I could do it all over again, Liang Qichao would never attend Xu Zhimo's wedding.
