After Lu Xun's death, the revision of the Lu Xun Annals was put on the agenda.
Then, on the question of determining the relationship between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping,
With xu Guangping's own consent, Xu Guangping was defined as Lu Xun's "cohabiting girlfriend".
Some people are confused: Obviously Xu Guangping gave Birth to Lu Xun's son, why is he still a cohabiting girlfriend? Isn't it the wife or the second wife? It really wasn't, because Lu Xun neither formally married Xu Guangping nor accepted Xu Guangping as a concubine.
The reason why Lu Xun did this is because between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, there is also a third person involved, and this person is Lu Xun's original wife: Zhu An.
Lu Xun and Juan
The combination of Lu Xun and Zhu An can also be regarded as a tragedy of the times.
Because it is difficult for outsiders to clearly define: is it Lu Xun who is miserable and married Tou? Or did Zhu An have a bad life and married Lu Xun?
In 1901, Lu Xun and Juan had a marriage contract.
Originally, it was planned to have a wedding at the end of the year, but it happened that Lu Xun's studies in Japan would take a long time, so the marriage was temporarily sued for a while.
afterward
Rumors about Lu Xun starting a family in Japan are rife.
Lu Xun's mother was anxious, so a telegram of "the mother's illness returned quickly" was sent to Lu Xun.
When Lu Xun hurried back in a hurry, he found that the courtyard was actually full of lights!
When I asked, I realized that I was going to get married!
Faced with this scam prepared by the mother's own hands,
Lu Xun's heart was difficult to calm down for a while. But what can be done? The mother is the mother, and marriage is indeed a major life event. That's it
Lu Xun, who resisted in his heart, still walked into the marriage room.
After unveiling Juan's hijab, Lu Xun's dissatisfaction soared to its highest point. Although I knew that my wife was an old social woman,
I didn't read much, I still had my feet tied,
But no one told him that his wife looked like this!
Therefore, there is still no conclusive conclusion as to whether Lu Xun has a round house with Juan. People who worship Lu Xun said that Mr. Lu Xun did not do such a thing; the people who black Lu Xun blew out candles were the same, and Lu Xun was also a man.
In fact, the round house is not important to Lu Xun and Zhu An? It doesn't really matter. If Zhu An hadn't had so many old social marks on him, Maybe Lu Xun wouldn't have refused to be so determined; or if Juan hadn't married Lu Xun, he wouldn't have been rejected so thoroughly.
In this way, two people without feelings were tied together by feudal etiquette.
A few days after the marriage, Lu Xun fled the Zhou family on the grounds of studying, while Zhu An was left in the Zhou family like a snail that could never climb the well.
Some people may ask, Lu Xun is so reluctant, why not simply divorce?
There were not a few literati who divorced during the May Fourth period. From this point of view,
This is one of the characteristics of Lu Xun's feudalism and greatness.
Feudalism lies in the fact that Lu Xun executes filial piety very thoroughly; the great thing is that Lu Xun knows that if Juan is suspended, he will be hurt by gossip and gossip; at worst, he will be removed from the family and may go to death.
From Juan's body, we can see that the word tradition seems to have been engraved in her veins. Although Lu Xun had never given her husband and wife feelings in her life, in her heart: she was the young grandmother of the Zhou family, and Lu Xun was her husband.
In this way, before Lu Xun and Xu Guangping even started, a woman firmly occupied the position of Lu Xun's wife.
Lu Xun and Xu Guangping
Compared with Zhu An, Xu Guangping did have many places that Lu Xun admired.
In 1898, Xu Guangping was born in an old bureaucratic family in Guangdong. Although the Xu family is much lower than the previous scenery, the rotten ship also has three pounds of iron, so Xu Guangping grew up in school.
In 1923, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping met at the Beijing Women's Higher Normal College. At that time, the identities of two people, one was a teacher and the other was a student.
In this way, this teacher-student relationship slowly faded into the past in the days when it was as plain as water.
During this period, the relationship between the two only stopped at the teacher-student relationship.
It was not until March 1925 that Xu Guangping wrote a letter to Lu Xun, which opened the curtain on the private contact between the two.
After all, in that era, it was too easy to fall in love with a character like Lu Xun.
thereupon
Under Xu Guangping's active struggle, Lu Xun's heart slowly added a name called Xu Guangping. On August 26, 1926, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping left Beiping. After several twists and turns, he settled in Shanghai. In 1929, Xu Guangping gave birth to her and Lu Xun's son Zhou Haibao.
For many years after that, Xu Guangping took care of Lu Xun wholeheartedly.
For the sake of Lu Xun's creation, Xu Guangping was willing to be the woman behind the great man. whereas
For Xu Guangping's efforts, Lu Xun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Therefore, indifferent as Lu Xun, he also made a promise to Xu Guangping: In the future, if he is far away from other female students, even if there are female students who ask emotional problems, they will resolutely face it with a negative attitude.
In this way, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping supported each other and went down.
However, because someone occupied the position of Lu Xun's wife, Xu Guangping could not marry Lu Xun; but because he respected Xu Guangping, Lu Xun did not take Xu Guangping as a concubine. From this point of view, Xu Guangping defines himself as Lu Xun's cohabitant girlfriend, which is the most appropriate.
As for Juan's question, both of them are also very calm
。 After all, although Xu Guangping was later, Lu Xun still provided for Zhu An, and even Yu
After Lu Xun's death, Xu Guangping also financially supported Zhu An a lot.
epilogue
Judging by the ending of the three, maybe it's not the best, but it's certainly not the worst.
So, are they at fault? It seems that it is all true. If Lu Xun had taken a break from Juan, perhaps Juan would have had a more difficult life.
If there is no Xu Guangping, then there may be Li Guangping, Zhang Guangping, etc., between Lu Xun and Zhu An, it is not because there is one more Xu Guangping, but because they have staggered the time of an era between them.
For Juan, time is frozen. The ideological education she received at a young age had firmly bound her to the cage of feudal etiquette. For Lu Xun, this is exactly what he finds most difficult to accept.
For the second half of Juan's life, Lu Xun did not divorce. But for his own sake, he had a Xu Guangping.
For Xu Guangping, she did not force Lu Xun to divorce, which may already be the biggest concession a woman can make.
Not to mention, after Lu Xun's death, she still did so much.
From an outsider's point of view, there is no standard answer to these questions, let alone them in the whirlpool.
Perhaps, for them, the most wrong thing is the era of cannibalism.
