Yesterday we talked about the small things in the lives of Lu Xun and his mother, which said that Lu Xun was the most famous "brother demon" in the Republic of China, so what was the relationship between Lu Xun and his brother Zhou Zuoren?
In fact, Lu Xun had two younger brothers who lived to adulthood, one was Zhou Zuoren and the other was Zhou Jianren.
Here is mainly to talk about the relationship between Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren. Both Zhou Zuo and Lu Xun went to Japan to study, and Lu Xun later returned to China to work, and then sent living expenses to Zhou Zuoren, because at this time Zhou Zuoren fell in love with a Japanese woman named Yu Tai Nobuko and married her. Lu Xun's letter to his friend said: "Because Qi Meng will get married, and the cost will increase from then on, I can't help but plot things. The two had no income in Japan, Zhou Zuoren's enthusiasm for learning was fading, and all sources of income depended on Lu Xun. Zhou Zuoren not only spent a lot of money himself, but also had to support Yu TaiXinzi's family, and Lu Xun was really overwhelmed, and even sold the family's land property.
Finally, Zhou Zuoren returned to China under the persuasion of Lu Xun, and Lu Xun also introduced Zhou Zuoren to the school, and later came to live in Beijing. At this time, Lu Xun bought a large house in Beijing and took his mother and brother to live with him.
Little by little, Hata Nobuko's perversion was revealed. Lu Xun brothers' salaries are very high, and the two of them have a lot of money, obviously the family's financial situation should be very good, but the money-managing Yu Tai Xinzi is profligate, she not only spent all of Zhou Zuoren's money, but also spent Lu Xun's money, "She hired several servants to serve her, newly bought things, said to throw away, said to send, brand new is also, the meal is slightly unsuitable, immediately "reward" to the next person" This directly led to the financial crisis, Zhou Jianren recalled: "Zhou Zuoren not only handed over all his monthly income, He also lost his years of savings, sometimes borrowed money everywhere, and even made himself unable to buy cigarettes and snacks when he wrote articles at night. ”
Before and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the japanese power in China continued to grow, and Yu TaiXinzi felt that her position could also rise, so she was even more arrogant, Xu Guangping recalled: "But after arriving in Beijing, she was different, because at that time, when Japanese imperialism was arrogant and arrogant, and there was a Japanese embassy in Beijing, she relied on the domineering, more and more powerful, as if she appeared as an aggressor." I consult japanese people about everything and often have contacts with Japanese embassies. After Lu Xun was driven away, as soon as there was any noise, she pulled up the Japanese flag in front of the door and changed the Zhou Mansion to Yu Taiyu. ”

So why was Lu Xun driven away? Lu Xun's mother, Lu Rui and Lu Xun, were actually more opposed to the marriage of Zhou Zuoren and Yu Taixinzi, but After seeing lu Xun and Zhu An's situation, Lu Rui decided not to interfere in the marriage of the children: "Seeing them like this (referring to Lu Xun and Zhu An), I was also very distressed, so I did not care about the marriage of Mr. Two and Mr. Three. "For this marriage, the relatives in their own family, some say yes, and some do not approve of it." Because this is a new thing in Shaoxing, it is inevitable that people will talk about it. I think as long as the children like it themselves, I will be at ease. Since his mother didn't care, Lu Xun naturally had no reason to stop it.
Living in a large courtyard, Lu Xun was very dissatisfied with Yu Taixinzi's extravagance and arrogance, and Yu Taixinzi did not have a good face for Lu Xun and Juan, Yu Taixinzi felt that he was not strong enough, so he sent his sister Yu Taifangzi into this family, the method was "raw rice to cook mature rice", Lu Xun's son Zhou Hainian said: "Finally, one day, she (Xinzi) first drunk Uncle Jianren with wine, and then pushed Fangzi into his room, causing a fait accompli. Therefore, later, the father talked to his mother about his uncle's marriage, saying that it was "forced to add fraud to the bureau". ”
The next step was to drive Lu Xun away. Yu TaiXinzi and Zhou Zuoren said that Lu Xun was flirting with himself and making hysterical troubles at home, and Zhang Tingqian, who came to persuade him, heard Yu Taixinzi and himself crying that Lu Xun would eavesdrop at the window of their couple.
Zhang Tingqian
Zhang Tingqian didn't believe it at all, but Zhou Zuoren believed it. Lu Xun is a very restrained personality, and he is more conservative and rational in the relationship between the sexes, although he obeys his mother's wishes to provide life security for Juan, but he has never had a relationship with Juan, And Juan is a legal original match, let alone a sister-in-law.
Zhou Zuoren believed it and wrote a break letter to Lu Xun: "Mr. Lu Xun: I only found out yesterday - but there is no need to say anything about the past. I'm not a Christian, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford it, and I don't want to blame anyone—everyone is a poor human being. My previous rose dreams were all illusory, and what I see now may be real life. I want to revise my thinking and re-enter a new life. Please don't come back to the back yard in the future, there is nothing else. May you be at ease and self-respecting. ”
Lu Xun was angry, he immediately moved away with Juan, the house was bought by Lu Xun at his expense, Lu Xun was out of the house, not only that, the house that Lu Xun moved over was relatively small, originally his mother Lu Rui stayed here in Zhou Zuoren, but the cook did not cook for Lu Rui, Lu Rui was sick Zhou Zuoren did not find a doctor, Lu Rui could only move over and live with Lu Xun, and even said: "Just don't have this son!" What was even more excessive was that after Lu Xun moved away, he went back to get his books and was chased and beaten by Zhou Zuoren and Yu Taixinzi.
In fact, at this time, Yu Tai Xinzi had already joined forces with his sister to drive Zhou Jianren away, so at this time there was only Zhou Zuoren's family in the big house, Yu Tai Xinzi immediately picked up his parents from Japan, Lu Xun's "brother support demon" symptoms attacked, after being driven away, Yu Tai Xinzi also threw his sister Yu Tai Fangzi to Lu Xun to "borrow" ten pieces of ocean, Lu Xun also borrowed!
The newly rented house was narrow and low, and Lu Xun was angry and anxious to fall ill, which directly led to his untimely death.
Lu Xun never said a bad word about Zhou Zuoren in his diary and articles, everything we know now is Zhou Jianren's complaint, Yu Taixinzi not only drove away Lu Xun, she and her sister even harmed Zhou Jianren's life. After Lu Xun broke up with Zhou Zuoren, Zhou Zuoren became a slave of the Yutai family, and later entered the Wang puppet regime and became a traitor.
