Lu Xun did not cherish his manuscript, and every book was published, the handwritten manuscript was discarded. Sometimes he saw me save the discarded ones, and once I saw him tear up the manuscript.

"Why?" Lu Xun continued to fight and said, "A certain gentleman is a millionaire. Compared with his millions of donations, I also take out the money from my monthly salary as a donation in the same proportion, and the meaning should be the same. "

When we lived at the bottom of Chuanbei Road, we used a kind and simple old woman worker at home. Lu Xun did not scold the workers for their mistakes, but was also very kind to the children, reminding people of her big mother. Lu Xun asked his children to call her mother and was never allowed to call her by her first name. Whenever we go to the canteen to eat, she comes to a big room in Lu Xun's writing and bedroom to do cleaning or play with her children here. One day, when we came back to our room after dinner, she was having fun with her children. On the balcony facing the street on the third floor, she and her children blew pieces of paper page by page, saying that they were flying kites. When children see pieces of paper flying up and down, they are very happy and always ask for another one. With laughter, we came, but we didn't look.
