Lu Xun remembers his childhood and youth: the Hundred-Plant Garden where he used to play, his old nurse and the book of monsters she gave him, the temple fair he could only see after reciting his lesson. Then come his father's illness, and his student years in Japan with his teacher, Fujino.
Ten bittersweet memories, in which we discover the childhood of the greatest modern Chinese writer, and the China of the past.
