One day, Lu Xun went to the barber shop to get a haircut wearing shabby clothes. 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, and 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 The "South China" Literary Society founded by some progressive young people in Guangzhou hoped that Lu Xun (1881-1936) would write for their first issue. Lu Xun said: "You should write the article yourself first, and I will write it later, lest people say that Lu Xun came to Guangzhou to find young people to support him." The young people said: "We are all poor students. If the first issue of the publication If the sales are not good, you may not have the strength to publish a second issue." Lu Xun said humorously but seriously: "It is easy to make a publication that sells well. You can write an article to criticize me, and the publication that criticizes me will also sell well." In the 1930s, some writers suffered from serious subjectivism. Once, someone asked Lu Xun to talk about this issue. Lu Xun laughed and didn't answer at first. After a while, he told two stories: The Golden Pole There was a farmer who had to carry water every day. One day, he suddenly remembered, what did the emperor use to carry water and food? He then replied: It must be a golden pole. Eating persimmons There was a peasant woman who woke up early one morning and felt hungry. She thought, how should the Queen enjoy happiness? He must have called out as soon as he woke up: "Sister, take a persimmon to eat." In 1934, Yuan Liang, the mayor of Peiping, the Kuomintang, issued an order prohibiting male and female students from swimming together. When Mr. Lu Xun heard about this incident, he said to several young friends: "Men and women are not allowed to be classmates or swim together. If men and women breathe the air together and confuse things, isn't it more serious than classmates swimming together! Why don't Mayor Yuan Liang just make another move? Order: From now on, men and women should each wear a gas mask to prevent air circulation and avoid exposing themselves to the public. As he said, Mr. Lu Xun tilted his head back slightly and simulated the gas mask with his hands. Everyone in Guanzi laughed out loud at Mr. Lu Xun's words and actions. In 1934, "Human World" magazine launched a column of "Writer Interviews" and published portraits of the interviewed writers. The editor of the magazine wrote to Lu Xun, asking for permission to go for an interview and take a photo with the study as the background, and another photo of Lu Xun with Xu Guangping and Zhou Haiying. Lu Xun wrote a very humorous letter to reject it: "The writer has a beautiful reputation. In the past, he did not respect himself. He once thought that he might as well repeat his example. Recently, he has quietly awakened and is ashamed to say it. There are no thoughts in his head, and there are no thoughts in his poems. In the study, the 'Madame and the Young Master' have nothing to do with the literary world, and I dare not accept the three kinds of elegance. If the gentleman writes another "biography of a fake writer" in the future, he should list the books, put up a shelf, and sweep the floor to welcome him. "< /p>

One year there was a flood, and the government held a fundraiser, and a little girl donated her money.

Lu Xun knew that the officialdom at that time was very corrupt, and the money donated by the little girl was not even enough for the master of the Water Conservancy Bureau to smoke a cigarette. But he couldn't tell the little girl, so Lu Xun gave the little girl some money.

This is from an article called "I Want to Lie" in Lu Xun's collection of prose poems "Weeds"

I don't know if it is true or not
