，，。I thought about it a little, and I did remember, though it was something from seven or eight years before.，。At the time, Ziying had come to ask me along, saying we were going to Yokohama to meet fellow-provincials newly arrived to study abroad.，，，，，，，。As soon as the steamer arrived, I saw a whole crowd of them — probably more than ten people in all — and as soon as they landed they put their luggage at the customs house to wait for inspection; the customs officer rummaged through a clothing trunk and suddenly turned up a pair of embroidered lotus-foot shoes, whereupon he set his official business aside and examined them closely.，，，。I felt quite put out, thinking to myself: these damned men, why on earth would they bring a thing like this along?，。Without noticing it myself, I probably shook my head at that moment.，，。Once the inspection was over, after sitting a while at the inn, we had to board the train.，，，，，，。Unexpectedly, this crowd of scholars started up again in the railway carriage, this time deferring over seats — A wanted B to sit here, B wanted C to sit there — and before the bowing and yielding was finished, the train had already started; with one lurch of the carriage, three or four of them immediately fell over.，：，……。I was quite displeased at that too, thinking to myself privately: even over train seats, they have to sort out who ranks higher and who ranks lower…，。Without noticing it myself, I probably shook my head again.，。Yet among that crowd of dignified, bowing, yielding figures was none other than Fan Ainong — though I only thought of this on this very day.，，，，；And not only him — it's shameful to admit, but in that group there was also the martyr Chen Boping, who later died fighting in Anhui, and the martyr Ma Zonghan, who was murdered;，。and there were one or two others besides who were thrown into a dark prison and did not see daylight again until after the revolution, their bodies forever bearing the scars of savage torture.，。Yet I had known nothing of any of it, and, shaking my head, had carried them all off to Tokyo together.，，。Although Xu Bosun had crossed on the same ship as they had, he was not on this train, because at Kobe he had already left by carriage with his wife to travel overland.

，。But as it happened, things worked out conveniently — Jifu wrote urging me to go to Nanjing.，，：——Ainong quite approved too, but rather sorrowfully, said:—

“，。"Things here are the same as before — one can't stay.……。”You'd better go quickly..."

，。I understood his unspoken meaning and resolved to go to Nanjing.，，，，。I first went to the Military Governor's office to resign, which was of course approved at once; a snot-nosed receiver was sent to take things over, and once I had handed over the accounts and the remaining funds — one jiao and two coppers — I was no longer principal.。My successor was Fu Lichen, head of the Confucian Association.

，。The newspaper-office affair was settled two or three weeks after I reached Nanjing — the office had been wrecked by a mob of soldiers.，；Ziying was out in the countryside and came to no harm;，。Deqing happened to be in the city, and was stabbed in the thigh with a knife point.。He was furious.，，。Naturally it was quite painful, so one could hardly blame him.，，，，，，。After his fury, he took off his clothes and had a photograph taken to show the knife wound, about an inch wide, and also wrote an article describing what had happened, sending it around everywhere to publicize the tyranny of the military government.，，，，，，，。I think that by now probably no one still keeps such a photograph — the print was too small, and the wound was reduced to almost nothing, so that anyone who saw it without an explanation would surely have taken it for a nude photo of some slightly mad romantic figure, and had it fallen into the hands of Marshal Sun Chuanfang, it might well have been banned.

What it’s about

A friendship told as a series of misjudgements. It opens in a Tokyo inn over the morning papers and a telegram from home: the governor of Anhui has been assassinated and the assassin taken. It is 徐錫麟, and news of 秋瑾's execution in Shaoxing follows soon after. At the memorial meeting the room splits over whether to wire Beijing denouncing the Manchu government, and a tall man with long hair and far too much white in his eyes says flatly that the killed are killed and the dead are dead, so what is the use of a telegram. Lu Xun decides the man is barely human, argues him down, and then learns who he is: 范愛農, 徐錫麟's own student.

Years later they meet again in Shaoxing, both out of work, and drink together, and Fan explains that he had disliked him well before they ever spoke. The 1911 revolution briefly makes them colleagues — Lu Xun running the normal school, Fan as its supervisor, off the drink and working hard for the only time in the essay — and just as briefly hopeful, until the new military governor turns out to be the old order in a new fur gown and the students' paper that attacks him is bought off. Lu Xun leaves for Nanjing and then Beijing; Fan loses his post, drifts between whoever will still put him up, and is found drowned in a water-chestnut pond, upright in the water. The essay refuses to say whether he slipped or jumped, and its last thought is for the daughter he left, who should be finishing middle school by now.

When it was written 背景

Written 18 November 1926, the last of the ten essays, and the only one whose subject is a grown friend rather than the writer's own childhood; it ran in 莽原 in January 1927. Historically it is the most demanding piece here — the executions of 1907, the 1911 revolution as it played out in Shaoxing, the local military government and its newspapers all go past without explanation — so a learner should read the notes alongside the text. What repays the work is the portrait: this is where 朝花夕拾 stops being a memoir of childhood and becomes an account of a generation let down twice, once by the empire and once by the revolution.
