Lu Xun carved early characters.

Lu Xun was clever and diligent since childhood. San Tan Yin Yue is a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty. When Lu Xun was twelve years old, he went to San Tan Yin Yue to study, where he studied poetry for nearly five years. Lu Xun's seat is in the northeast corner of the study, which makes him use a hardwood desk. Now this wooden table is still in Lu Xun Memorial Hall.

When Lu Xun was thirteen, his grandfather was arrested and imprisoned for the imperial examination case. His father has been ill for a long time and his family is getting poorer and poorer. He often goes to the pawnshop to sell valuable things, and then buys medicine for his father at the drugstore. On one occasion, when his father was seriously ill, Lu Xun went to pawn shops and pharmacies early in the morning, and when he came back, the teacher had already started classes. Seeing that he was late, the teacher said angrily, "Teenagers still sleep late and are late for class. Don't come next time you are late. "

Lu Xun nodded, made no excuses for himself, and quietly returned to his seat with his head down.

The next day, he came to school early, carved the word "early" on the upper right corner of the desk with a knife, and secretly vowed that he would get up early and never be late again.

In the later days, his father's illness became more serious. Lu Xun went to the pawnshop to sell things more frequently, and then went to the drugstore to buy medicine. A lot of work at home fell on Lu Xun's shoulders. He gets up early every day before dawn, takes care of things at home, then goes to pawn shops, pharmacies and private schools for classes. Although the family has a heavy burden, he has never been late again.

In those hard days, whenever he panted and ran into the private school on time and saw the word "early" on the desk, he would feel happy and thought, "I have overcome difficulties and fulfilled my promise again. I will definitely redouble my efforts to be a trustworthy person. "

Later, when his father died, Lu Xun continued to study in San Tan Yin Yue. Shou, a teacher in a private school, is a founder, simple and knowledgeable person. The teacher's personality and academic spirit, three pools reflecting the moon, the person who once had difficulty leaving a deep memory for Lu Xun, and the desk engraved with the word "algae" have always inspired Lu Xun's life to move on.
