Lu Xun was a writer, thinker and revolutionist. He had a great influence on the Chinese revolution. West of Fucheng Gate, lies a small courtyard and it was Lu Xun's home for the last two years of his fourteen years' in the city.To the east is located the Lu Xun Museum, where many of his manuscripts and relics are preserved.
It is a simple one, full of beautiful flowers, which make the house elegant and colorful. It was a witness to its great master's daily life and monumental deeds. It remains as it was during Lu Xun's habitation. The north house has three rooms: the east and west rooms were the living spaces for his mother and wife, while the middle one was a dining room. Near it is a small house, four square yards, which served as Lu Xun's bedroom and study. The actual furniture he once used, including a bed, desk and wicker chair, is well preserved. The south house is the reception room where Lu Xun had talks with his friends.
Just in there, Lu Xun produced many encouraging works with profound thoughts which greatly influenced the Chinese revolution.
