Luzhen

Luzhen is located in Keyan Scenic Spot. In fact, in the history of Shaoxing, there was no such a town called Luzhen. Luzhen is only the artistic generalization of the text based on Luxun’s childhood memories of some small towns like Dongpu, Fanjiang, Dongguan, Huangfuzhuang, Anqiaotou and others.
