Full Translation:
The Lu Xun you don't know
A large part of the cuisine is promoted by celebrities, which was especially prominent during the Republic of China. For example, the famous writer Lu Xun, even an authentic expert in eating and drinking, not only knows how to eat, but also cooks it by himself, and has unique insights into many delicacies. This is a new fashion in modern times.
Beijing is a city where Lu Xun has lived for a long time. Only from the diary written by Lu Xun during this period, we found that he had visited 65 well-known restaurants. In addition, he also loved the dim sum in Daoxiang Village.
As a great writer and university inquirer, Lu Xun is very particular about eating, and the content of his food occupies a large part of his diary. Among the many restaurants, Lu Xun went to Guangheju the most and it was his favorite. He went there once a week on average. An important reason for Lu Xun's frequent visits to this hotel was less distance.
The gate of Guangheju is diagonally across from the Hutong where he lived at the time. Guangheju, located near vegetable market, is the first of the “Eight Great Residences” in Beijing and was very famous during the Republic of China. Guanghe Ju is not luxurious, but it is very suitable for friends to gather and lively here.
Scholars are especially welcome here, which creates good conditions for their gatherings. Guanghe Ju is divided into various rooms of different sizes, one for one person, three or five people for small gatherings, and more than ten people's congresses. This greatly satisfies Lu Xun's need to eat with friends.
He liked to socialize, was generous and hospitable, and he often call friends and eat together. Most of them eat together with three or five people. Sometimes he even directly asks Guangheju to deliver food to his home and entertain friends at home. Of course, the most important thing was that Guanghe Ju had dishes that Lu Xun like. The dishes there are both high-end and suitable for ordinary people all kinds of people have an appetite.
Lu Xun also loved to drink. Although he clearly knew that he has a stomach problem and should not drink, but it was difficult to quit. He was the one who must drink at every meal. According to the historical data preserved, he and Yu Dafu drank the most times together. Lu Xun doesn't drink much, often drunk, and can't get rid of cigarettes while drinking. Yu Dafu once wrote a poem in 1933 to describe him: "Going to the restaurant with drunken eyes and hazy eyes, wandering and shouting two leisurely", the description is very vivid.
