Lu Xun's hometown


Walking in a nostalgic pedestrian street in Shaoxing, Zhejiang (Lu Xun Middle Road), I felt as if I was traveling through time and I seemed to see scenes from the past.
This pedestrian street is a place where many different types of nostalgic items and souvenirs are gathered, and each item on display exudes a strong historical atmosphere.

Walking deep into the pedestrian street, a world-famous writer's former residence appeared before me. This is the former residence of Mr. Lu Xun. Lu Xun's hometown
The former residence is full of traces of time. Although it has been renovated, one can still feel the rich literary connotations of this ancient building.

The exhibits in the former residence show bits and pieces of Lu Xun's childhood and his various footprints on the road of literature.
This is not only a place to display the writer's life, but also a place that brings people deep thinking.
Every photo and every introduction aroused my thoughts on literature, as if bringing me back to that era.

During the visit, I couldn't help but think of a famous quote by Mr. Lu Xun:
“Time is like water in a sponge. If you are willing to squeeze it, there is always some.”
This sentence touched me deeply. Time is like water in a sponge, no matter how quickly it passes,
We always find a way to squeeze out time for ourselves and pursue our dreams.

In this former residence steeped in literary atmosphere, I can't help but think of Mr. Lu Xun's life. He tried to change social reality.
Use the tip of your pen to express the worries in your heart. His concern for the people and his criticism of society,
This made him a great writer in the history of modern Chinese literature.

The former residence of Lu Xun in Shaoxing, Zhejiang is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place that inspires deep thought.
Here, we can feel Mr. Lu Xun's writing inspiration and be infected by his spirit of pursuing truth.
