The 49-year-old Lu Xun has a son. He shows off his baby everywhere and even wrote a nursery rhyme that is still popular today.

Hello everyone, I am Ms. Zhen.

"Little red, little elephant, little red elephant.

Little elephant, little red, little elephant red.

Little elephant, little red, little red "Xiaohong, Xiaoxiang, Xiaohonghong"

What makes many people unbelievable is that this popular song on Douyin was written by Mr. Lu Xun. hand.

The little red elephant here refers to his youngest son Zhou Haiying. This nursery rhyme is Lu Xun’s must-have song to coax Zhou Haiying to sleep.

Lu Xun doted on Zhou Haiying, but this doting only lasted for 7 years.

On September 26, 1929, Zhou Haiying was born.

But his birth was purely accidental, because at that time their family was living in a homeless state and did not have necessary life support.

So they didn’t want a baby, but their birth control failed.

When they found out that Zhou Haiying was there, the two of them discussed for a long time and decided to keep him.

But on the day of delivery, because Xu Guangping was an advanced maternal age, it was difficult to give birth naturally. At that time, the doctor asked whether to "save the adult or the child." Lu Xun said without any hesitation: "save the adult."

Fortunately, the child was taken out by the doctor with pliers, and Xu Guangping was safe and sound.

After seeing Zhou Haiying, Lu Xun said in a slightly naughty tone: "He is a man, no wonder he is so hateful!"

That year, Lu Xun was 49 years old.

Because I had a son in old age, I cherish this child very much.

When it came time to choose a name, Lu Xun felt that he had stayed in Shanghai for 10 years, so he named the child "Haiying". He was afraid that the child would not like the name and specifically said:

"If the child grows up and doesn't like this name, he can change it."

Later, Zhou Haiying was given a doting nickname of "Little Red Elephant" because Xu Guangping called Lu Xun "White Elephant". "Elephant", and the newly born Zhou Haiying's skin was red, so he was called "Little Red Elephant".

Every time Lu Xun came to do the "top priority" of coaxing Zhou Haiying to sleep, he even specially wrote a nursery rhyme:

Little red, little elephant, little red elephant.

Little elephant, little red, little elephant red.

The amazing thing is that Zhou Haiying falls asleep every time after listening to it.

Zhou Haiying was relatively weak when she was a child. Children would cry when they felt uncomfortable. Every time Lu Xun cried, he would become the person with the best ears in the family.

He would rush to Zhou Haiying's side at the slightest sound.

In order to enhance Zhou Haiying's physical fitness, Lu Xun also specially developed a feeding method of breast milk, milk and rice soup. He even designed four methods to relieve asthma.

Sometimes Zhou Haiying goes to the hospital to see a doctor. If he is not there, he will buy two gifts when he returns home, one for Zhou Haiying and one for the doctor who treats Zhou Haiying.

Once, while taking refuge in a shelter in the British Concession, Zhou Haiying fell ill again. Seeing that the environment was not good, Lu Xun took Xu Guangping and Zhou Haiying directly into the hotel.

Lu Xun could only write poetry to refute it.

He said: "With a cold eyebrow and a thousand fingers, I bow my head and am willing to be a child."

That child is Xiao Zhou Haiying.

Lu Xun once said, "In order to raise this son, I have to become a twenty-five filial father."

When Zhou Haiying got a little older, Lu Xun took him into his hands. A treasure.

Every time I write a letter to a good friend, I will definitely mention Zhou Haiying:

He once wrote:

“Haiying is a very naughty guy. A few days ago, he issued a rather reactionary statement saying, "What kind of father is this?" It's really difficult to deal with the children now."

"Hai Ying is older and knows how to love beauty. He wants to imitate me and use me as a comparison in everything, but he refuses to imitate my casualness in clothes. He loves to be pretty and wears Western clothes."

"Hai Ying is very good, his face is tanned and his body is beautiful. He is also stronger than last year, and he seems to be more obedient and less unreasonable recently. However, because he is getting older, he has to listen to stories every night about how bears live, how carrots grow, etc., which wastes a lot of time. Ear.

"

"If I go out, I will cause trouble. I have been warned by three neighbors... But at home, it makes me unable to calm down. I hope he will be over twenty years old and run away with his lover. If it falls, that's fine. ”

Once, Zhou Haiying was eating fish ball soup, but as soon as he ate it, he felt it was not fresh, so he muttered and told the adults.

But Xu Guangping didn’t believe it, so he gave it to him again. Zhou Haiying ate one, but Zhou Haiying complained that it was not fresh.

While mother and son were arguing about whether the fish balls were fresh, Lu Xun took the fish balls from Zhou Haiying's plate and tasted them, and found that they were not fresh after all.

Later, Lu Xun said: "He must have his reasons for saying it is not new. It is wrong to dismiss it without examining it. ”

For Zhou Haiying, Lu Xun could even change himself.

When he didn’t have Zhou Haiying, his favorite place to visit was bookstores. But after having Zhou Haiying, his favorite place to visit was convenience. It turned into a toy store.

Once, he bought a set of carpentry tools for children for Zhou Haiying. Zhou Haiying was very happy after getting it, so she used a small hammer to hit left and right all day long. The house turned into a carpenter's shop.

Lu Xun, who had always been quiet, was very happy to see his children having fun.

Yu Dafu also recalled in the article that Lu Xun was very happy. He rarely smiled, and he only saw it once. That time Lu Xun came downstairs and laughed and said: "Hai Ying just asked me when I was going to die. He seemed to be eager to occupy my study. ”

Before he finished speaking, there were bursts of laughter.

But even if Lu Xun liked Zhou Haiying very much, he had a temper with Zhou Haiying.

One day, Zhou Haiying refused to go to school, so Lu Xun spanked him with a newspaper. Later, Lu Xun wrote to his mother and explained: "The sound of the spanking is loud, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Such noisy and noisy days lasted until Zhou Haiying was 7 years old.

One night in October 1936, Zhou Haiying, as usual, shouted to his father before going to bed. Say "We will meet tomorrow!" ”

But that day, he shouted several times but got no response.

What Zhou Haiying didn’t know was that at this time, Lu Xun’s health began to deteriorate and he had no strength to get out of bed. He always felt like there was phlegm in his throat and couldn't make a sound when he wanted to speak.

But when he heard Zhou Haiying's "We will meet tomorrow!" "After that, she tried her best to answer him, but the voice was too low and Zhou Haiying couldn't hear it.

Zhou Haiying thought that his father might not hear him, so he kept shouting loudly: "Dad, we will meet tomorrow, dad." , We will meet tomorrow, dad, we will meet tomorrow..."

Lu Xun responded anxiously to Zhou Haiying. He sat up, raised his head, and tried his best.

But the voice was still very low, Zhou Haiying did not

Later, Xu Guangping heard the noisy Zhou Haiying and quickly scolded him. Zhou Haiying cried for unknown reasons and muttered: "Dad is deaf." ! ”

A few days later, Lu Xun passed away.

The phrase “Meeting in the Ming Dynasty” that Zhou Haiying did not hear actually became the last good night farewell for the father and son.

Lu Xun was worried about his younger son and wrote in his will:

If your child grows up and has no talent, he can find some small things to make a living, but he must not become a short-term writer or artist.

Zhou Haiying fell in love with photography within a few years, just like his father.

But he just kept it as a hobby. After graduating from the Department of Physics of Peking University, he became a radio expert.

The more than 20,000 photos he took have never been published publicly.

When he was 80 years old, his son Zhou Lingfei proposed a photography exhibition for his father Zhou Haiying as an 80-year-old. A birthday gift.

But Zhou Haiying has always been worried. He felt that if these photos were not taken well, they would embarrass Lu Xun.

“I don’t know if these photos are valuable. It’s worth showing it to everyone. ”

Two years later, Zhou Haiying passed away.

Perhaps he did not expect that the works he took would be passed down by future generations, nor did he think that his photography would also leave a mark on history. A particularly important mark.

He did not embarrass Lu Xun.
