Lu Xun lived only 55 years in his life, but left us a precious cultural heritage of 6.4 million words. According to statistics, Lu Xun wrote an average of more than 350,000 words a year from the publication of his first novel, Diary of a Madman, in May 19 18 to his death in October/936 10. What an amazing number this is!
Lu Xun has a tight grasp of time and is good at squeezing time out of his busy schedule. He said, "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you are willing to squeeze, there is always something. " During the day, he often receives a group of guests. He didn't start reading and writing until 10 and 12 at night, and worked until two or three o'clock the next morning. Sometimes sleeping without taking off your clothes is like a soldier squatting in a trench, taking a nap, and then waking up and continuing to work.
Throughout the year, Lu Xun seldom takes a rest. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, Lu Xun worked hard as usual. He often writes, translates and compiles articles written in a year on New Year's Eve every year. For example, on the New Year's Eve of 1925, he compiled a "Gai Hua Ji" and wrote an "inscription" of 1200 words; 1932 on new year's eve, he compiled the compilation of southern accent and northern tune, and wrote an inscription of more than 1000 words. 1On New Year's Eve in 934, he translated the novel Farewell to Teenagers by Spanish writer Barharrow, and wrote an postscript after the translation. 1New Year's Eve in 935, that is, the last New Year's Eve before Lu Xun's death, he compiled Two Essays on Jiejie Pavilion, in addition to the preface, he also wrote a postscript of nearly ten thousand words. In addition, Lu Xun often uses New Year's Eve to sort out his diary or plan his work for the next year.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Time, every day is 24 hours, but a day's time brings wisdom and strength to diligent people, leaving only regrets to lazy people." Lu Xun didn't idle away his time. His life is a life of hard work and fighting. His great contribution was obtained from Time Old Man.
