She was the original wife, who had no love and no sex all her life and helped the concubines with their sons, and said a word after her husband's death
Mr. Lu Xun has an important position in the modern history of our country, and his characters are full of ridicule and anger at the whole society. In his lifetime, there were two women, one was the original wife who his mother forcibly arranged for him, named Juan, and the other was Xu Guangping, whom we are all familiar with. Juan was poisoned by feudal ideas. He took care of Lu Xun and his children all his life, but did not live a day with her husband.
Zhu An and Lu Xun were fellow townsmen, and their ancestors had served as officials of the ZhiXian class. Growing up in such a family environment, Juan, although not very literate, knows etiquette, has a gentle personality, and treats people kindly.
Lu Xun's mother saw that her son should get married, so she went to Juan's parents to propose to her, according to their logic, the marriage of children is arranged by parents, children have no right to speak, and the marriage is thus settled. Lu Xun studied in Japan and received advanced foreign ideas, and for him he definitely wanted to live with a person with a common language.
In 1906, Lu Rui (Lu Xun's) pretended to be ill and tricked Lu Xun from Japan back home to marry Juan, when Lu Xun was 26 years old and Juan was 29 years old. On the night of the candle in the cave room, there was no throbbing shyness and lingering pity of the newlywed Yan'er, only a teenager who was bound by an arranged marriage but rebelled against it, with extreme disappointment and disgust for the "gift" that his mother had forced over, he was depressed and silently shed tears. The next day, Lu Xun walked out of the cave with a cold face, and the servant found that one side of his face was stained with tears by the blue indigo quilt.
Lu Xun was quite cold to Juan, for him, Juan was not a wife, but an unreasonable request of his mother, and he was only fulfilling one of his mother's wishes.
Juan had been running the housework in his hometown, waiting for Lu Xun's mother until her death, devoted herself to him, and even helped him move and take care of the children. However, this kind of behavior of hers did not get the reward it deserved, in Lu Xun's eyes, Juan was an ordinary person, perhaps not as good.
At this time, Lu Xun had a new lover, Xu Guangping, and they lived together and lived a happy life. However, Juan lived a loveless and sexless life in such a lonely way, she kept an empty guard for Lu Xun for 41 years, and her life was very embarrassing, and she ate some steamed buns and pickles every day to live. In order to survive, under the persuasion of her friends, she planned to sell some of Lu Xun's relics, but she was criticized by people in the society, asking her if she had ever thought about Lu Xun's feelings and considered his spirit in heaven.
All his life, he was silently waiting for Lu Xun, and he suffered countless grievances but ended up with such reproach. Hearing these words, Juan finally broke out and said excitedly: "You always say that Lu Xun's relics should be preserved, and they should be preserved!" I am also a relic of Lu Xun, and you must also save and preserve me! ”
For them, Juan was a forgotten man who should not enjoy any power. This was undoubtedly the greatest irony for these socially progressive youths at that time. Zhu An's wish before his death was that he could be buried with Lu Xun after death, but Xu Guangping did not meet her requirements, and her funeral was held according to Xu Guangping's will, and the cemetery was located at the Baofu Temple outside Xizhimen, without a tombstone.
