Eighty-nine years ago today, on October 19, 1936 (September 5, 1936, the lunar calendar), Lu Xun died of illness in Shanghai. Lu Xun's influence on China was far-reaching and immeasurable. At 5:25 a.m. on October 19, 1936, Lu Xun, the most vocal and combative writer, died of illness at No. 9 Residence in Daliu New Village, Shanghai due to ineffective treatment for lung disease. At 10:00, the body was sent to the Wanguo Funeral Home. The condolence hall and corridors of the funeral parlour were covered with couplet, and to the open space outside the hall, ropes were drawn up and covered with snow-white curtains. Those who came to pay condolences included workers, students, hawkers, newspaper boys, rickshaw drivers, and scholars. During the three-day public condolences, an endless stream of people, nearly 10,000 people, went to pay homage to the remains. At 3 p.m. on the 21st, a funeral was held at the Wanguo Funeral Home. The funeral began on the afternoon of the 22nd. Before the funeral, there were long queues standing on Jiaozhou Road, Jisifei Road and Zhaofeng Road in front of the Wanguo Funeral Home. At the funeral, Song Qingling, Cai Yuanpei, Shen Junru, Ba Jin, Xiao Jun and several writers from the Funeral Committee helped the coffin onto the hearse. The young artist carried a huge portrait of Mr. Lu Xun painted by Situ Qiao as the leader of the funeral procession. The team marched forward with heavy steps, and many people joined the ranks along the way. The funeral procession became longer and longer. Cai Yuanpei presided over the funeral at the Wanguo Cemetery, Soong Ching Ling, Zou Taofen, Zhang Naiqi, Tian Jun, Uchiyama Wanzao and others spoke, and Hu Yuzhi expressed his condolences. Amid the sound of funeral music, Soong Ching Ling and Shen Junru covered the coffin with a white silk flag embroidered with "national soul". The crowd observed a moment of silence in the dusk to bid farewell to the stubborn rider and soldier. The coffin slowly descended and was placed in the tomb. The crowd sang the "Song of Rest in Peace" temporarily composed by Lu Ji and Xian Xinghai again: May you rest in peace, rest in peace! May you rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in the land... Lu Xun was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and his original name was Zhou Shuren. In 1902, he studied in Japan and learned medicine. In 1906, he published papers such as "On Cultural Deviation", criticizing the reformists of Kang and Liang. In August 1909, he returned to China and taught in Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places. After the Revolution of 1911, he served as a member of the Nanjing Provisional Government and the Ministry of Education of the Beijing Government, and taught at Peking University, Women's Normal University and other schools. In January 1918, he participated in the editorial work of "New Youth". In May of the same year, he published his first vernacular novel "The Madman's Diary" under Lu Xun's pseudonym for the first time. Since then, novels such as "The True Story of Ah Q" have been published one after another, and special albums such as "Scream" and "Hot Wind" have been published, which have had a great influence in the New Culture Movement. In August 1926, he was persecuted by the Beiyang government for supporting the student movement and went south to teach at Xiamen University. In January 1927, he was transferred to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou as a professor. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coup, he resigned angrily. He moved to Shanghai in October of the same year, and since then he has written a large number of essays and other literary works, deeply analyzing various social issues. After 1930, he participated in the establishment of progressive organizations such as the China Freedom Movement League, the China Left Writers League, and the China Civil Rights Protection League. After the dissolution of the League of the Left in 1936, it actively participated in the Anti-Japanese National United Front in the literary and cultural circles. There were many books and translations during his lifetime. One month before his death, on September 5, Lu Xun wrote the following will to his wife Xu Guangping in an article entitled "Death":(1) He must not accept a penny from anyone for the funeral. -- But for old friends, this is not the case. (2)Gather the coffin quickly, bury it, and pull it down. (3)Don't do anything about remembrance. (4)Forget me and take care of your own life. --If not, then you are really stupid. (5)When children grow up, if they have no talent, they can find small things to live on, and they must not become empty writers or artists. (6)Don't take what others promise you seriously. (7)Never get close to someone who harms others 'teeth but opposes retaliation and advocates tolerance. When Lu Xun was buried, more than 5000 workers, students and people from all walks of life in Shanghai voluntarily sent Lu Xun's soul.
