The staff told reporters that this has a lot to do with the popular broadcast of the TV series "Awakening Age".

Liu Xin is the main designer of the museum's cultural and creative products.
Seeing that the products she has participated in designing are loved by young people, she sometimes thinks that today's young people are connected with those "new youths" a hundred years ago.
As a "post-85", Liu Xin's understanding of Lu Xun and even the New Culture Movement has also undergone changes.
Like most young people, at first, she got to know Lu Xun through the text.
"I used to find his articles difficult to understand and memorize."
When she first started working, she was arranged to study the contents of the exhibition and recite explanations.
This gave Liu Xin a comprehensive understanding of Lu Xun's life.
She still remembers the first time she came into contact with Lu Xun's manuscript.
"That was written by Mr. Lu Xun! At that time, I was thinking about his mood when he wrote those words and what he wanted to express."

"Old researchers in the library often said that if you want to understand Lu Xun, you must read "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" and understand the meaning yourself." Therefore, as long as there is time, Liu Xin is willing to read Lu Xun's articles.
Liu Xin gradually discovered that Lu Xun is almost all-rounder: he is known as a writer, he has done geological research, understood medicine, art, and advocated the emerging woodcut movement for the Chinese revolution...
She feels that many of Lu Xun's words still bring reflections to contemporary people: "The first is to build a man, and then everything is done" "May the Chinese youth get rid of the air-conditioning and just move up"...

Since then, she has learned about Lu Xun and that "age of awakening", and can better understand the deep love of the "new youth" for this country a hundred years ago.
It was also at that time that Liu Xin joined the Communist Party of China.
Why are young people today so interested in Lu Xun, "The Age of Awakening" and even that period of history?
Liu Xin feels that this is the spiritual resonance of the "new youth" separated by a hundred years.

On social media, some netizens turned Lu Xun's stills into memes and became popular searches; others cried because of the sacrifices of Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian; and more people lamented the tremendous changes in a country in the past century.

But what is the resonance of this hundred years?
Liu Xin's answer is: "Although more than 100 years have passed, China's'new youth' has never changed, because the patriotic feelings flowing in our blood have never changed." (End)
