Chang (? -1899), Lu Xun called her the eldest mother, a native of Dongpu, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. She was Lu Xun's nanny when he was a child.
The eldest mother's husband's family name is Yu, and she has an adopted son named Wu Jiu, who is a tailor. She only gave birth to a daughter, and later recruited a son-in-law.
"The old mother is just one of many old-fashioned women. She has been an old lady all her life (called' being a mother' in China) and generally does not go home until she dies. " My mother often suffers from epilepsy.1April, 899 "On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, I went to Dashugang to watch a play in the rain, and attended a class in Hongshoutang. My mother is often seriously ill and died of illness for a while. "
Lu Xun has deep feelings for his eldest mother. There are several articles recalling her eldest mother's past in Morning Flowers and Evening Picks, among which A Chang and Shan Hai Jing are dedicated to recalling and commemorating her.
In fact, this old mother from Dongpu is short, while Zhou Jia's former nanny is tall. According to the worker Wang, his wife Ruan Shi-"Mrs. Qing Tainiang" is the real eldest mother, but she used to call it Dongpu. However, the author wrote to Zhou and his wife for this purpose, and the answer was no. Zhang Ma in Zhou Zuoren's diary was also hired after Dongpu's eldest mother died.
