Lu Xun is a famous Chinese writer. He has written many works, the most famous of which is "The True Story of Ah Q". Lu Xun has many interesting stories, one of which is this:

One day, Lu Xun went to the barber shop to get a haircut wearing a shabby dress. The barber saw that he was dressed casually and looked dirty, and thought he looked like a beggar, so he cut his hair casually. After getting a haircut, Lu Xun randomly grabbed a handful of money from his pocket and handed it to the barber, then left without looking back. The barber counted carefully and found that he had paid a lot more money, and he was so happy.

More than a month later, Lu Xun came for a haircut again. The barber recognized him as the customer who paid more money last time, so he was very polite to him, gave him a haircut very carefully, and kept asking him for his opinion until Lu Xun was satisfied. Unexpectedly, when paying, Lu Xun counted the money very seriously and did not give more than one copper. The barber thought it was strange and asked him why. Lu Xun smiled and said: "Sir, last time you cut my hair randomly, I paid you casually. This time you cut my hair seriously, so I paid you seriously!" < /p>

The barber felt very ashamed after hearing this and quickly apologized to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was a person who didn’t pay much attention to clothes. He likes to wear robes. Compared to his thin figure, robes seem more suitable than suits. But he was indeed a little too unkempt. He often wore a long gown and walked in the dust. He felt a bit like the down-and-out character Kong Yiji in his works, so he made a joke: he was often considered a suspicious person in the elevator; many people saw him He thought he was lucky to have discovered the opium ghost; sometimes when he went to buy medicine, even the clerk in the pharmacy despised him; when he walked on the street, he was often searched by the police...

Lu Xun never looked back and cut off his braids. The person who got it. It was as unthinkable at the time as a man wearing a skirt. But in the face of ridicule, sarcasm, and insults, he still went his own way. Later, he basically had a crew cut (equivalent to today's board size). His hair was hard, with roots standing upright in the wind, like iron brushes. He was so cool and handsome. Nowadays, handsome men and beautiful women are keen on hair dyeing, perming, etc., which pales in comparison with Lu Xun.

He is too lazy to get a haircut, and often ignores it for months when he is busy. Friends joked at him: "Yucai, why don't you shave off your 'earth'? How ugly!" Lu Xun said seriously: "Oh! I paid for it, you guys look good!" Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he reluctantly Go take care of it. Once I walked into a barber shop. The barber didn't know Lu Xun. Seeing his simple clothes, he thought that he must not have much money and he didn't take his haircut seriously at all. Not only was Mr. Lu Xun not angry about this, he even casually took out a large amount of money and gave it to him after the haircut. The barber was overjoyed when he counted three times the money, and his face was immediately filled with smiles. After a while, Lu Xun came to get a haircut again. Upon seeing this, the barber immediately used all his special skills to do it "finely and meticulously". Humility written all over his face. After the meal was finished, Lu Xun did not show any more magnanimity, but took out the money and counted it to the barber one by one, without giving him a penny more. The barber was confused: "Sir, why do you give me this point today? Last time you..." Lu Xun smiled: "Last time you dealt with it carelessly, I will give you some points carelessly, but this time you will be serious about geography, and I will be serious about it. Give me some." The barber was confused after hearing this.

His beard is also very unique. In the years after he returned from studying in Japan, his beard was Japanese-style - both ends were turned up, which looked funny. People around him laughed at him and said he was It is admiration for foreigners. Lu Xun was so troubled that he simply trimmed his beard into the character "一" in official script, and he was fine ever since.

I have seen photos of Lu Xun when he was young, and I think he is not very handsome. At least he is far from the so-called "most handsome men" in South Korea and Japan today. But Lu Xun had great confidence in himself. Once the British writer Bernard Shaw met him and said: They say you are China's Gorky, but I think you are more beautiful than Gorky. After hearing such kind words, Lu Xun not only showed no humility, but actually said: "I will be more beautiful when I get older!" This old man is really interesting.

Lu Xun had many hobbies. For example, the habit of giving people nicknames has been developed since childhood and has not changed even in old age. As early as when he was studying at Sanwei Bookstore, there was a subject called "duo class". His grades were good and he was repeatedly praised by his teacher, Mr. Shou Jingwu. Once, a classmate peeked at his husband's topic of "Unicorn" and quietly asked him what he was good at. Lu Xun said: "It's good for 'Four-Eyed Dog'." Unexpectedly, the man actually used this idea. Answering Mr. Shou, he was short-sighted and wore glasses. He was naturally furious when he heard this, while he covered his eyes with a book and couldn't hold back his laughter. Lu Xun's observation ability can be said to be sharp. He gave a vivid name to a girl's crying - "Four Tiao", because when a girl cries, tears and snot come down from her nose! Isn't it four? He was lecturing at Peking University. At that time, there was a young professor at Peking University named Kawashima who had a student's hair. He nicknamed him "Punch of Mao" and called him "Brother Pinch of Mao" affectionately when they met. It was really Funny expert! Moreover, he actually called his lover Xu Guangping "Haima", which even came in handy when he wrote to his mother, saying: Don't worry, Mom, Harma is fine now...

Smoking, drinking, and drinking tea can be described as These are Lu Xun’s “three addictions”. He has always been a heavy smoker. When he was in Beijing, he always smoked a few packs of Hardman brand.

The way he holds his cigarette is very special: he uses his thumb and four fingers to hold the cigarette instead of holding it between his index and middle fingers (I thought he had the style of a modern gangster). Another interesting point is that when smoking in front of others, he always takes out a cigarette from his gray cotton shirt and smokes it. He seems not to like taking out the cigarette pack first and then taking out a cigarette from the pack. cigarette, and then stuffed the cigarette pack back into the bag. His temper remained unchanged until he arrived in Shanghai. I don't know if he is afraid of trouble, or because he is afraid that others will see that the cigarettes he smokes are inferior and he will feel embarrassed?

In addition to his three addictions, he also likes to eat cakes, candies and other sweets, a habit he developed while studying in Japan. One time, someone gave him persimmons. He liked them so much that he hid them and enjoyed them secretly, and was reluctant to give them to others! Only when a lady comes to visit, it is "generously" taken out, because ladies have small appetites and can only eat one or two slices! He can also eat chili peppers. When he was studying at the Jiangnan Naval Academy, he once did well in the final exam, and the school awarded him a gold medal. Lu Xun did not use the medal as a sign of self-showing, but he knew how to benefit from it, so he went to Gulou Street to sell it and buy it. A big bunch of red peppers come back. Every time I read until it was late at night and the weather was cold and I was sleepy, I picked off a chili pepper, cut it into several pieces, put it in my mouth and chewed it until my forehead sweated, my eyes shed tears, and I cried endlessly. I felt my whole body feel warm and my sleepiness suddenly disappeared, so I picked up the book and read again. Now it seems that besides being ridiculous, it is also a bit touching. He has a very special appetite and likes to eat snake meat, dragon lice, and prunes. And he never skimps on money. He often invites friends to dinner. He can order "Osmanthus Pork", "Spicy and Sour Shredded Belly", "Fried Walnut Kidney", "Three Fresh Iron Pot Eggs" and "Sweet and Sour" in one breath without even looking at the menu. "Soft carp with noodles" is waiting for several dishes!

He loves watching movies and has almost become a movie fanatic. Lu Xun didn't watch the film for the first time until he was 43 years old, but he couldn't stop watching it. During the 9 years that Lu Xun lived in Shanghai in his later years (46-55 years old), he watched 142 movies. Among them, there were 37 games in 1934, 36 games in 1935, and 19 games before he became critically ill in the autumn of 1936. Over the past three years, the average has been almost one per week. It’s not easy to miss a good movie, or even watch it again and again; and most of them are accompanied by children, relatives and friends, and several people drive together! What’s interesting is that among the movies imported from abroad, his favorite ones are those about wild beasts in nature’s jungles (equivalent to the recent “Animal World”. If Lu Xun were alive today, he would definitely be a fan of Zhao Zhongxiang).

Lu Xun also liked to practice martial arts. He once learned judo while studying in Japan, and after returning to China, he taught at the Shaoxing Prefecture Middle School. One night, while walking through a desolate cemetery, he suddenly saw a pale ghost-like thing blocking the way. Lu Xun rushed forward and kicked the guy, causing him to stumble to the ground and run away with his head in his arms. It turned out to be a man who was pretending to be a ghost. Grave robber. Although Lu Xun was thin, his martial arts showed some signs of it.

Lu Xun in life was humorous and interesting, and his humor also contained a kind of atmosphere, wisdom, optimism and grace. Once his niece asked him: "Why is your nose shorter and flatter than my father (Zhou Jianren)?" Lu Xun smiled: "My nose was originally as high as your father's, but the environment I live in It's relatively dark, and I bump into walls everywhere, so my forehead and nose are all short!"

Some progressive young people in Guangzhou founded the "South China" Literary Society. They were afraid that the first issue of the publication would not sell well, so they hoped that Lu Xun would write for the first issue. . Lu Xun said humorously but seriously: "It's easy to have a publication that sells well. You can write an article to scold me, and the publication that scolds me will also sell well!"

Celebrities will inevitably be invited to give speeches, and Lu Xun did not. exception. His speeches were erudite and full of wit, and he was often surrounded by applause and laughter. Once when he returned to Peiping from Shanghai, Beijing Normal University invited him to give a lecture titled "Literature and Armed Forces." Some students have seen many articles attacking him in newspapers and feel very sorry for him. He said in his speech: "Some people say that I came to Peking this time to grab jobs and to 'make a comeback'; but please don't worry, I will make a 'comeback' soon." His words immediately filled the venue with laughter. Voice.

When I was teaching at Beijing Women's Normal University, a student once went to the park with a boy from another school without the permission of his parents. When her parents found out, they ran to school and made a fuss, cursing the school for lax discipline. The feudal and rigid principal also scolded the female students like a shrew for being "too outrageous." Mr. Lu Xun happened to be passing by there. After learning the whole story, he said humorously: "Now that the weather is nice and sunny, what's wrong with two young people going to the park together? Young people are not allowed to go to those parks. You have to become an old man and an old woman to go there." Want to go shopping? ”

There were two nannies in Lu Xun’s house, and for some reason they often had quarrels. He couldn't stand the noise all day long and fell ill. A little girl next door asked: "Mr. Big, why don't you stop them?" Lu Xun smiled and said: "They were quarreling because they were angry with each other. Even if they suppressed it temporarily, the anger in their hearts could not be suppressed. I'm afraid I'll have to suffer from insomnia. Instead of three or two people suffering from insomnia, it's better for me to suffer from insomnia alone."

He always speaks without scruples and dares to think and speak. For example, he expressed his views on people's secretive "sex": Appetite is to preserve oneself and preserve the present; sexual desire is to preserve descendants and preserve forever. Eating and drinking is neither sinful nor impure; sexual intercourse is neither sinful nor impure. It is a pity that China's old view is completely opposite to this truth.

Until she gave birth to a child, she was still evasive, but she was very dignified towards the child. This kind of behavior is comparable to that of a rich man who stole money and became rich! In order to illustrate that people should not be judged one-sidedly, he said humorously: Heroes are powerful, but just because they also have sex, they cannot be called "sex masters"!

Although Lu Xun has a broad mind, it is by no means suitable for dealing with ugly social phenomena. All fake, evil and ugly things could not escape Lu Xun's face. Once, a local official of the Kuomintang banned male and female students from swimming together. Lu Xun couldn't stand it: "Classmates swim together, and occasionally skin to flesh comes into contact, which hinders the defense of men and women. However, after the ban, men and women still breathe the air between heaven and earth together. The air is exhaled from the nostrils of this man and inhaled by the nostrils of that woman. , breathed out from the nostrils of the woman, and inhaled by the nostrils of another man, it was simply confusing. There was also an order requiring all people, men, women, old and young, to wear gas masks, which not only prohibited the circulation of air, but also Don’t show your face!” He said while simulating walking while wearing a gas mask. The people listening burst out laughing.

Lu Xun has always been merciless to corrupt literati. This is a weirdo who is not afraid of offending people. It seems that the entire cultural and intellectual circles are his enemies in previous lives. Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Guo Moruo, Lin Yutang, Liang Shiqiu, Cheng Fangwu, etc. have all been "violated" by Lu Xun's spit, and often experienced the taste of scolding; even the geologist Li Siguang, who had little connection with literature, actually fought with him Pen and Ink Officer! It seems that Lu Xun really absorbed the essence of Sun Yat-sen's "fraternity".

Lu Xun himself was a master of humor and jokes. After Japan occupied Northeast China, the reactionary Kuomintang regime relied on the United States and publicized how the United States upheld "justice." In order to expose this scam, Mr. Lu Xun told a short story: "There is a rich man in our countryside. Many people want to get close to him and are even proud to have talked with him. One day, a beggar beamed with joy and said that the rich man was talking to him. Many people surrounded him and asked what happened. He said: 'I was standing at the door, and the rich man came out. He said to me: Get out of here!'" The people who listened to the story laughed. The Kuomintang's ugly behavior of begging for mercy from its American masters was fully exposed.

In order to illustrate that the reactionaries prey on the common people and treat them as cannon fodder, he gave a fable: During the reign of a certain emperor in a certain dynasty, many palace ladies got sick and could not always be cured. Finally, a famous doctor came and prescribed a magical prescription: a number of strong men. The emperor had no choice but to do as he did. A few days later, when I went to take a look, I found that all the palace maids were indeed full of energy, but there were still many men who were too thin to look like human beings, prostrate themselves on the ground. The emperor was taken aback and asked: "What is this?" The maids replied in a whisper: "It's medicine dregs!"

In the 1930s, some writers suffered from serious subjectivism. Once, someone asked Lu Xun to talk about this issue. Lu Xun didn't say much and only told two stories: One: There was a farmer who had to carry water every day. One day, he suddenly realized: What does the emperor use to carry water and food? Then he said to himself: He must use a golden pole! Second: There was a peasant woman who really wanted to eat persimmons, so she thought: How did the Queen enjoy such happiness? She must have given the order as soon as she woke up: Get a persimmon and eat it!

What is commendable is that Lu Xun also had unique views on humor and joke theory. He wrote in a letter to Tao Kangde on April 1, 1934: "The so-called humor in China is often still in the style of "Laughing Lin Guangji", which is really helpless." In Lu Xun's view, the humor of "Laughing Lin Guangji" is not real. Humor is nothing more than something easy to understand, smooth and vulgar, used to entertain oneself or joke among friends. Lu Xun resolutely opposed glib jokes, silly jokes, and frivolous and obscene ridicule. What he emphasized was a kind of alert, profound, lingering meaning, and the level of appreciation was very high. Lu Xun also performed and proved this point by himself. ?

Many of Lu Xun’s writings are also sharp and humorous. He said: There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is a jujube tree. It’s so different! Lu Xun hated mosquitoes and couldn't stand their screams, so the mosquitoes were very funny in his writings. He said: "Just bite me, but please don't scream! However, the mosquitoes are still whining. At this time, if someone asks me, 'Who do I love between mosquitoes and fleas?', I will definitely answer 'I love fleas' without hesitation!" The reason is simple, because fleas bite but don't cry. When I woke up in the morning, I saw three overcomers standing on the tent with bright red bellies. They were itchy and scratched, one to five. One lump was a sign of my defeat in the biological world. So I took five lumps with me and went out to make a living..."

However, his writing is ultimately combative. Throwing a spear is a dagger. Many of his articles, such as "In memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen" and "In memory of forgetfulness", can still feel a sense of awe and righteousness when reading them to this day. But now, some naughty children have misunderstood the original meaning of some of Lu Xun's words, turning the solemn and solemn words into funny ones, but they also reflect wisdom and liveliness.
