Although Lu Xun already has a wife in his family, Xu Guangping still doesn't care, she fanatically follows her love.

But people will eventually die, Lu Xun after repeated torture of illness, at half past five in the morning of October 19, 1936, under the light of the morning sun, closed his eyes forever. During Lu Xun's serious illness, Xu Guangping has been taking care of himIn the early morning of the 18th, Lu Xun's body began to feel seriously unwell, even though Xu Guangping fed the medicine many times, but it did not improve. As soon as the morning dawned, Lu Xun bent his body and wrote a note to Xu Guangping, who took the note and hurriedly ran towards the Uchiyama Wanzao's house.

When Lu Xun was in unbearable pain, Uchiyama Wanzo and Dr. Sudo finally came to Lu Xun's house, but when Dr. Sudo injected Lu Xun with drugs, he noticed that Lu Xun really couldn't survive this time.

The doctor said that as long as he could survive two days, Lu Xun's condition would improve. Lu Xun had confidence when he heard this, and he silently cheered himself up, he must get through it and defeat the disease.

But in the face of death, everyone is equal, and soon after, Lu Xun's body became weaker and weaker, and it was difficult to even eat, so he could only drink milk in order to maintain his physical strength. By the time his younger brother Zhou Jianren came to visit, Lu Xun had no strength to speak, Because he was too hard, cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, Xu Guangping wiped the cold sweat off his forehead silently, how could she not know his pain.

Lu Xun also used all his strength to hold Li Guangping's hand, Xu Guangping didn't dare to move, she really found it difficult to accept this kind of farewell. Although everyone tacitly did not mention death, everyone knew in their hearts that death was quietly approaching the great writer. The day before Lu Xun passed away, Lu Xun woke up early as usual, and his mind remained clear.

He also chatted with Xu Guangping and asked about the contents of the newspaper, and even when he was dying, he still cared about the motherland. Regarding Lu Xun's physical pain, Xu Guangping saw it in his eyes and hurt it in his heart, but she could only watch her beloved gradually lose her life under the torture of illness, and she had no way to share it for him.

Lu Xun looked at Xu Guangping, worried that she was too tired, and let him rest one by one, but Xu Guangping was reluctant to close her eyes, she was reluctant to look at Lu Xun all the time, as if as long as she kept looking at him, he would not disappear from her life, Lu Xun also looked at Xu Guangping, and the two of them looked at each other speechless at the end of their lives.

At 5:25 a.m. on October 19, 1936, Mr. Lu Xun, a literary giant, turned into dust, which has shrouded the global literary community with endless mourning. On his desk, there is an unfinished fragment.

Who would have thought that this paper and ink fragrance would become his swan song for eternal life. The devout and few words expressed in the longing are to remember his deceased friend Zhang Taiyan. However, after several thoughts, the spiritual pattern has not yet reached a perfect curtain call.

In that moment, he recounted a dream: he came out of the room and found two men crouching around, trying to attack him. He thought, "Did you choose to strike me when I was sick?" It does not matter! I also have a dagger by my side, and I throw it at the enemy's body. ”

It can be seen that even though he was tortured by illness, Lu Xun did not forget his will to fight. He was undaunted and longed for the light in his heart. In Xu Guangping's view, her husband is a person who can defeat death with a pen, which is deeply admirable.

It has to be said that in the face of illness, his physical body may collapse, but his spirit is indestructible. Before he died, he still had a glimmer of desire to live.

However, after all, human beings are small and fragile beings, and in the face of life and death, they can only be reduced to mortals.

This unexpected encounter brought an unbearable blow to Xu Guangping, who was already in his seventies. After all, these letters are a precious treasure that she has always defended.

In the end, the anxious Xu Guangping unfortunately suffered from a heart attack and died in Beijing. The husband personally went to the hospital to express his deep regret over Xu Guangping's death and comfort her son Zhou Haiying. The great change in history marked the end of this woman's life.
