In June 1933, Lu Xun wrote a poem about the Three Righteous Pagoda. Japanese farmers had built it over the bones of a pigeon left behind in the ruined Sanyili quarter of Zhabei, Shanghai. The poem ends: 度尽劫波兄弟在，相逢一笑泯恩仇. “Through all the calamities, brothers remain. When we meet, one smile ends the old enmity.”
