Mr LIN Manshu and the author of this paper have different opinions about LU Xun’s lecture tour in Hong Kong in 1927. Mr LIN argues that YE Shaoquan

a person generally believed to have played a key role in inviting LU Xun to Hong Kong

was actually a subordinate under CAI Tingkai’s command and had nothing to do with LU Xun’s visit to Hong Kong. In response to my challenges

Mr LIN only added another reason for his argument that CAI Tingkai was a subordinate under XU Guangping’s remote relative Xu Chongzhi’s command without providing new supporting material. However

Xu Chongzhi was in Shanghai at that time and had no close relationship with CAI Tingkai. To debunk Mr LIN’s hypophysis

this paper found that CAI’s home was in Luo ding and CAI himself lived in the barrack in Qinzhou. CAI did not have residence in Guangzhou. Furthermore

before XU Guangping went back to Guangzhou

CAI and YE had already joined the Northern Expedition campaign fighting in Hunan and Hubei and were not in Guangzhou. Therefore

Mr LIN’s assertions that CAI Tingkai and XU Guangping were neighbours and XU Guangping made acquaintance with YE Shaoquan through her neighbour were pure fabrication. This fabrication cannot negate ZHAO Jinsheng’s version of LU Xun’s lecture tour in Hong Kong and other researchers’ elaboration on ZHAO Jinsheng’s account of the event.
