Liang Qichao is Xu Zhimo's teacher, and Xu Zhimo and Lu Xun are the same generation.
Lu Xun and Xu Zhimo have a very bad relationship because of their great differences in thought. Liang Qichao and Lu Xun don't have much in common, they just represent two different paths of China's modern enlightenment. Liang Qichao is for mobilization, while Lu Xun is for criticism.
During the debate between Lu Xun and Chen Xiying, Xu Zhimo once wrote a letter to Zhou Zuoren, saying that your brother's temper was really weird and made him helpless. Xu Zhimo is gentle, unlike Lu Xun, who wants to make up with Lu Xun. Lu Xun seems to have written articles satirizing Zhimo's poems.
In short, there are many opposites in their thoughts and poetic opinions. Lu Xun studied in Japan, while Zhimo was in Britain and the United States. The opposition between them also reflected the controversy and conflict among scholars who returned from studying in Britain and Japan during that period. However, Xu Zhimo has always played the role of peacemaker in debates.
Extended information:
Liang Qichao is the leading teacher in China literature, and Xu Zhimo is both a poet and Liang Qichao's proudest student. Xu Zhimo is good at writing poems and loves making friends. Liang Qichao and Xu Zhimo are not only teachers and students, but also close friends.
When Xu Zhimo is in trouble, he will seek Liang Qichao to help him out. Therefore, in this friendship of more than ten years, there are countless stories about Liang Qichao and Xu Zhimo. On Liang Qichao's deathbed, he recalled the student Xu Zhimo, but he still couldn't help telling the story of that year.
In his mind, Xu Zhimo is a good student and a good friend. The only thing that displeases him is to ask him to be a witness. If I could do it all over again, Liang Qichao would never attend Xu Zhimo's wedding.
