Family background: The family background is in Shaoxing, and the Zhou family is a noble family. Not to mention being an official and doing business, the population growth alone is considerable, so by the time Lu Xun was born, the Zhou family had separated in three places and looked after each other, just like a big family. Lu Xun's grandfather Zhou was born in Hanlin. He worked as a magistrate in Jiangxi, then went to Beijing as a cabinet official and became a standard Beijing official. Shaoxing is not a big city. People like Zhou who are both academicians and Beijing officials can naturally win the respect of ordinary citizens. The horizontal plaque of the calligraphy "Hanlin" on Zhoujiamen clearly shows the special position of Zhou Jia. Lu Xun is really lucky. The starting point of his long life journey is located in such a place that seems quite convenient from Xanadu.
Background of literary creation: Lu Xun wanted to enlighten Chinese people's consciousness through medicine. But his dream didn't last long before it was shattered by the harsh reality.
In Japan, as a citizen of a weak country, Lu Xun is often highly discriminated against by Japanese with militaristic tendencies. In their eyes, all China people are "imbeciles", and Lu Xun scored 59.3 points in the anatomy test, so he suspected that Fujino Genkuro, the anatomy teacher, had leaked the examination questions to him, which made Lu Xun deeply sad as a weak country.
On one occasion, in a movie, Lu Xun saw a large group of "strong and insensitive" China people coldly watching their compatriots being executed by Russian detectives. Lu Xun was hit hard when he realized that mental numbness was more terrible than physical weakness. So he left Sendai Medical College and returned to Tokyo to translate foreign literary works, organize literary magazines, publish articles and engage in literary activities.
At that time, what he discussed most with his friends was China's national character: what is the ideal human nature? What is China's national character lacking most? What is the root cause? Through this kind of thinking, Lu Xun linked his personal life experience with the fate of the whole Chinese nation, which laid the basic ideological foundation for him to become a writer and thinker later.
During his study in Japan, Mr. Lu Xun initially formed his world outlook and outlook on life. However, Lu Xun's thoughts were not only incomprehensible to most Japanese at that time, but also difficult to get a wide response among students studying in China.
The foreign novels he translated can only sell dozens, and the literary magazines he organized can't be published because of lack of funds. The difficulty of family planning forced Lu Xun to return to China to find a job. From 65438 to 0909, he returned from Japan and taught in Hangzhou Zhejiang Normal School (now Hangzhou Senior High School) and Shaoxing High School. This is a period when Lu Xun's thoughts are extremely depressed.
19 1 1 year also excited him for a while, but then Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, zhang xun restoration and other historical scandals were constantly staged. The Revolution of 1911 did not change the stagnant reality of China. Social chaos, national disaster and personal changes in marriage life all made Lu Xun feel depressed and depressed.
After the May 4th Movement, his repressed thoughts and feelings exploded like lava through literary works. At that time, he was already working in the Ministry of Education and moved to Beijing with the Ministry of Education.
