In July 1957, it was published in the inaugural issue of Shanghai Harvest magazine. At that time, the traffic was very inconvenient, and Lu Xun Xi'an spent more than half a month on the road.

I came to Xi'an from Beijing for 8 days, left on July 7, and arrived on the afternoon of the 14th. The return trip was 9 days, departing on August 4 and arriving in Beijing at midnight on the 12th.

The journey to and from was a bumpy one, with trains, cars, boats, mule-and-horse carts, and a stretch of walking.

On the evening of July 7

During the period in Xi'an, there are a lot of antiquities in the street reading market, which are described in detail in "Lu Xun's Diary", and the interesting one is: "Twelve days are sunny...... Arrived at the front gate of Beijing in the middle of the night, the tax customs saw the small antiquities carried by the number of things, regarded as strange goods, very difficult, a long time has been. Mr. Sun Fuyuan recorded: "One day after arriving in Xi'an, Mr. Lu Xun said to me very humorously with the Shaanxi dialect that he had learned for the first time: 'Zhang Mifu (that is, Secretary Zhang, Chang'an native language pronounces the secretary's 'book' as 'husband') wants to accompany us to see the play of the Yi Folk Society.

Mr. Lu Xun immediately pointed to the gorgeous Wujiapo and said: "Like a beautiful hairpin." I applauded Mr. Duan and said it was a wonderful couplet. "Lu Xun is very humble about his trip to Xi'an.

"I cut off the left tip of my beard, and thought, Shaanxi people have worked hard to prepare food and money, carried by cars, boats, mule carts, and automatic cars, and invited me to Chang'an to give a speech. They were deceived. It is also necessary to say that 10 months before Lu Xun came to Xi'an, Kang Youwei was invited to give lectures in Xi'an at the end of September 1923, giving 11 lectures and staying for more than two months.

In those years, Kang Youwei was a saint of Kang and was respected by the old forces, and Lu Xun had new cultural merits. To paraphrase the current fashionable political term, Xi'an really had a little bit back then
