In 1930, Lu Xun participated in the initiation of the Grand Alliance of the Chinese Freedom Movement and openly opposed Chiang Kai-shek's ** rule, so he was wanted. In 1931, many members of the Grand Alliance were brutally killed, but Lu Xun was never safe. Chiang Kai-shek played a key role in this.
In February 1930, Lu Xun, together with Roushi, Feng Xuefeng and others, initiated the establishment of the Great Alliance of the Chinese Freedom Movement in Shanghai, openly opposing the rule of the Nanjing Nationals, and rapidly developed to more than 50 branches, with great momentum. This move aroused great concern of Chiang Kai-shek. Soon, the national ** issued a wanted warrant to Lu Xun and others. On February 7, 1931, many members of the Grand Alliance were assassinated and killed, known as "Longhua **" in history, but surprisingly, Lu Xun, the primary wanted target, was safe and sound.
Although the military commander sent people to monitor and even prepare to assassinate Lu Xun many times, he did not do anything in the end. It is unlikely that this is because of respect for Lu Xun. The military commander has killed countless people, and he will not disobey orders because of Lu Xun's reputation. The real reason is that Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to kill Lu Xun at all, but kept trying to win him over to his side.
In 1930, Chiang Kai-shek proposed that if Lu Xun went to Japan to hide for a period of time, he could be released from the wanted notice and retain his post in the Ministry of Education. In 1936, Chiang also provided money for Lu Xun to go to Japan for treatment. However, in the face of Jiang's wooing, Lu Xun had a firm attitude, and would rather be broken than broken. He rejected Chiang's suggestion, did not stop criticizing, and eventually died peacefully in Wanted.
To sum up, Lu Xun had a complicated relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. On the one hand, Jiang secretly protected Lu Xun;On the other hand, Lu Xun refused to compromise and consistently opposed Chiang's **. This history is full of dramatic reversals and hidden edges.
The incident quickly attracted widespread attention and discussion online. Many netizens expressed surprise at Chiang Kai-shek's covert protection of Lu Xun. Some people believe that this shows that Chiang Kai-shek is not a simple ** and reactionary, but still has an open-minded attitude towards cultural celebrities. Some netizens believe that it cannot be ruled out that this is just Chiang Kai-shek's political means, the purpose is to win over Lu Xun and win the support of the literary and artistic circles. There are also commentators who believe that this exposes the problem of insufficient centripetal force within the Kuomintang, and that Chiang Kai-shek's control is overestimated.
In addition to their views on Chiang Kai-shek, netizens also enthusiastically discussed Lu Xun's choice. Many people praised Lu Xun for his unyielding integrity who was not afraid of power and would rather die. However, there are also opinions that if Lu Xun survives, it may be more beneficial to the development of Chinese culture. The two positions differed from each other, which sparked a heated debate.
