Lu Xun (1881-1936) was a great revolutionary, thinker and writer in China's modern history.
Set in the Tower Bell on the campus of Sun Yet-sun University, the Lu Xun Museum was built in 1957 and opened in 1959. On January 18, 1927, with the recommendation of the CPC Guangdong District Committee and at the invitation of Sun Yet-sen University, Lu Xun left Xiamen for Guangzhou, where became Chairman of the Chinese Language Department and Dean of Studies at Sun Yet-sen University. He first lived in the Bell Tower at the university and moved to the White Cloud House on Baiyun Road on March 29.
The Lu Xun Museum contains the restored bedroom and study occupied by Lu Xun during his teaching career at the university, as well as the restored conference room for university affairs. The exhibits in the rooms are actual objects from that time. The museum also has a section displaying Lu Xun's biographical facts and nearly 10,000 exhibits, including Lu Xun's manuscripts, historic objects, photos and documents. A computer retrieval system for the Complete Works by Lu Xun is also in place at the museum.
