In Shaoxing, the author's childhood, his father suffered from severe edema and could not recover for many years. Two doctors called "imperial doctors" were invited to see him at home. The consultation fee is high, many prescriptions have been prescribed, and many strange drugs have been used, but the effect has never been seen. My father finally passed away. I heard that the imperial doctor still sits on his back every day, living in luxury and strong physique. It's really irritating.
The author writes ironically that quacks mislead people, and the medical skills of two "famous doctors" are more unique than one, which shows that some Chinese medicine practitioners pretend to be profound. Through their resignations one after another, their father's condition deteriorated step by step, and through family changes, they expressed their deep hatred for quacks, so they mystified, extorted and ignored human lives, making people realize the sadness of life.

Creative background:
Flowers in the morning and flowers in the evening are the only collection of reminiscence essays written by Lu Xun, originally named Reminiscence of Time Past, which has always received rave reviews. The author said that these articles are "memoirs" copied from memory. This book is a collection of Lu Xun's 1926' s reminiscence essays, with ten articles in total. The first five articles were written in Beijing and the last five in Xiamen.
It has always been a pain buried in Lu Xun's heart that his father was killed by quacks. Focusing on the memory of treating my father as a child, this paper describes the attitudes, styles and prescriptions of several "famous doctors" and reveals the essence of their ignorance and disregard for human life. At the same time, it expresses the author's regret and guilt for his father, which can be seen from the last few paragraphs of the dialogue.
