In China at the end of the 19th century, poverty and exploitation were everywhere. But all those who can afford to study are all large families with solid families, and Lu Xun's family is among them. The enlightenment of childhood made Lu Xun think more about problems early on than his peers.
The well-known story of the Sanwei Bookstore depicts for us Lu Xun's study and life in the academy at that time. However, life has ups and downs, happiness always slips away inadvertently, and family changes suddenly destroy the happy childhood life of Lu Xun's three brothers.
Hardship swept through, and it tested everyone's ability to withstand pressure. In middle school, Lu Xun did not understand his grandfather's bribery case, but what was even more desperate was that his father fell ill and died. The top beam and pillar of the Zhou family collapsed, and the face of the world was clearly burned into Lu Xun's eyes.
There were many people who fell into the well, and the mud on the road splashed the Zhou family with mud spots. In the days of refuge in his hometown, it was equivalent to crawling and fighting in the dust, and the fullness of his soul made Lu Xun eager to embark on the road of study.
During this period, he went to the Jiangnan Water Teacher School, and the Jiangnan Lushi School was attached to the Mining Road School, which was appreciated by many people, and he also met many people with advanced ideas on the way to study.
Fast forward to the beginning of the 20th century, the concept of scientific salvation deeply affected Lu Xun. The skinny young men at the Hongwen Academy are seriously translating French literature. He wanted to change the fate of the people of his country through medicine, but after the incident at the Sendai Medical College, he had an epiphany.
How to thrive in the body is nothing more than an external blessing, and what really needs to be changed is the thinking of the Chinese people.
He wanted to write that no matter how skilled a person was, he could not change a person's spiritual degeneration. Only by expanding the influence and keeping up with the times can the ideas keep up with the times can more audiences be enlightened.
Nowadays, we use a witty tone to ridicule Xun Ge's various fierce remarks, but behind the seemingly relaxed, we are also deeply troubled by family and brotherhood.
The so-called family affairs are difficult, and the problem of Lu Xun and his brother's discord is still curious today. After all, the strong personality, Xun Ge, who had learned judo, did not say anything, which was too curious.
As the eldest in the family, XunGe can clearly feel the malice from life, and the Zhou family after falling into the life of the poor, whether it is sneered at by his neighbors or maintaining family expenses, is Xun Ge's own efforts.
From the memoirs of Zhou Zuoren later, we can see an almost idyllic perspective, a psychological state of settling with encounters, which is diametrically opposed to Xun Ge's narrative in the cry.
Perhaps this is the origin of the dispute between the two in the future, Lu Xun prematurely experienced the coldness and warmth of human feelings, snobbish ridicule, his three views are constantly refreshing, and his thinking is more sharply tempered.
In the words of Xun Ge, the sorrows and joys of human beings are not the same, so how can a younger brother who has received a certain degree of protection realize all that he has to bear as an elder brother? A lot of things, too much to say is to be pretentious.
Some people ask, decades of interdependence will develop into later estrangement, from the academy, to Japan, to Beijing, how much hatred and resentment between the two will reach the point of rupture?
To tell the truth, in my youth, I didn't know who Zhou Zuoren was, and all I had in my mind was the word Lu Xun, and yes, it was just a word at that time. I even find his work boring, but this man is obviously a great man of the times that every Chinese cannot get around.
Unlike Zhou Zuoren, Lu Xun is a household name, Zhou Zuoren is like a dusty mirror, only the shadow of Zhou Zuoren can be seen behind Zhou Shuren. Later, Zhou Zuoren "caught fire" and, in another way, turned his back on the Chinese revolution, and he stumbled and embarked on the road of traitors.
Living under the shadow of Zhou Shuren, Zhou Zuoren was repeatedly whipped as a negative teaching material.
We will also hear such stories in life, from the small mouth, from the eyes of parents, in a large family, there will be differences, and even not interacting with each other is not a novelty.
As individuals of life, what reason do the Zhou family brothers have to go on in harmony? The audience is just fifty steps of laughter and a hundred steps.
For a long time, Lu Xun was in the same position as a detector in a big family, exploring the way first, and then bringing the family over, which is a bit like the development strategy of dots and lines.
This led to the emergence of a problem, that is, the pressure of life fell on the second brother, and the brother who studied outside became the only hope in the family, there was pressure on Brother Xun, and more hope was backlogged in Zhou Zuoren.
During this period, the relationship between the two was "solid". And once one side stands in a higher position, the other side must have a sense of gap, or distance. In the long run, Xun Ge stood in a position that no one could match, and where would his brother who was devoted to following him go?
Once the seemingly close relationship loses the necessity of interdependence, it is very likely to collapse.
Speaking of Zhou Zuoren's wife, the maid that the two brothers met while studying in Japan. This woman's relationship with Lu Xun is also cloudy, but there is one thing that Xun Ge once mentioned to his friends, that is, this woman is in charge of family economic expenses but does not know how to be frugal.
Coupled with the general low social status of Japanese women, Nobuko, who married into the Zhou family and then took charge of housekeeping affairs, became a hostess with teeth and claws, taking this opportunity to help her mother's family, and the mixing of indiscriminate lines caused the family to become a mess.
Chores friction, economic gaps, so that the original simple family relationships become complicated, housework in front of people, how to make people not bad.
Compared with the eldest brother and the second brother, Zhou Jianren's life with his wife was not good at first, as a primary school teacher, he was not financially wealthy, and Fangzi, who was influenced by her sister, began to dislike her husband.
Later, Zhou Jianren went to Shanghai to make a living, and met his second wife there, where they lived together for many years and had three daughters, where the family was happy, but the family that was originally formed with Fangzi seemed to be fragmented.
It is said that people sigh, the old lady of the Zhou family was eighty years old, when Zhou Jianren brought a group of old and young people to worship the birthday, he was also tit-for-tat by the eldest son, and Fangzi cried and cursed like a shrew.
The original family is now like a stranger, Lu Xun is gone, and this already precarious family harmonious relationship has completely collapsed.
The second son wrote a letter attacking Zhou Jianren, causing him to completely break off his friendship with them from then on. It was not enough for the Fangzi family, who had been abandoned by their wives and children, to face such an embarrassing situation, and even Zhou Zuoren, the second uncle whom Fengsan had relied on since childhood, stimulated their nerves.
In the end, the young Toyotomi ended his life. At this moment, the Zhou family was already in ruins.
