Lu Xun (1881-1936) was a great revolutionary, thinker and writer in china’s modern history.

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.
