Xu Guang-ping closely observed Lu Xun's daily life, which made her the best person to write Lu Xun's personal narrative. However, since the founding of the country in 1949, Xu Guang-ping gave up the early trivial record about Lu Xun's personal daily life, and started the grand narrative from the micro history using Xu and Lu's intimate relationship. Xu brought Lu Xun into the "Cultural Revolution" history and made Lu Xun a public property, a political and ideological tool. As a whole, since 1949, Xu Guang-ping figured an imaginary Lu Xun.
