Lu Xun, formerly known as Zhou Shuren, is famous for his sharp writing and unique insights. Most of what we know about Lu Xun, who is "arrogant" and "uses the pen as a sword" on paper, but we do not know that such a "cruel person" is also extra soft and tender in front of the family, so that he is ostracized by his younger brother who has been raised as a son for decades. Why lu xun, who has been wronged, is not willing to speak up, and the author will elaborate on it next.

Lu Xun's father died early, leaving Lu Xun and his two younger brothers Zhou Zuo and Zhou Jianren behind. The eldest brother was the father, and Lu Xun also took on the burden of taking care of his mother and two younger brothers. Lu Xun has been very strict with his two younger brothers since he was a child, and in the article "Kite", he recounted that Lu Xun did not let his two younger brothers play with kites, and also destroyed half of the kites made by his brother. Lu Xun completed his primary education at The Sanwei Bookstore, then went to the new Nanjing Water Teacher School to study, later transferred to the Jiangnan Mining Road School, and finally went to Japan to study with the support of public funds. Lu Xun's path was not only for himself, but also for his younger brothers, and Lu Xun's second brother basically followed Lu Xun's original path. It can be said that Lu Xun's family and the family of Lu Xun's two younger brothers were supported by Lu Xun, especially the second brother Zhou Shuren. The harm caused by the people who cared most was often the most deadly, and the later Zhou Shuren really exhausted Lu Xun.
Lu Xun loved his second brother very much, and everything was for the sake of the second brother, and when he went to Japan, he also took Zhou Zuoren with him. Zhou Zuoren has always been under the care of Lu Xun, and although his writing is very good, he lacks assertiveness in some aspects. Lu Xun is an unmarried, ascetic, and his wife Juan and he are only nominal. However, such Lu Xun was particularly concerned about Zhou Zuoren's happiness, and also single-handedly handled Zhou Zuoren's marriage, which also caused the tragedy that followed.
As we all know, Zhou Zuoren's wife is Hatta Nobuko from Japan. Hata Nobuko came from a poor family, and when she first met Zhou Zuoren, she was only a nanny in charge of cleaning and cooking. Zhou Zuoren is shy and literary, and is not good at communicating with people. Hata Nobuko is the opposite, she has a cheerful personality and loves to laugh. Hata Nobuko lives with five men every day, and she has a special affection for the seemingly weak Zhou Zuoren, and often looks for Zhou Zuoren to chat and amuse. Yu Tai Xinzi also treated differently, Zhou Zuoren's room she always meticulously cleaned, the corners and corners will not be let go, but also often brought special products to Zhou Zuoren to taste. Zhou Zuoren is a "giant baby" who does not understand rejection and is very easy to rely on, and he quickly loses under the "pomegranate skirt" of YuTa Nobuko with zero love experience. The situation of the two people who had strange feelings became very embarrassing, and it was Yu TaiXinzi who came forward to tell Lu Xun about this matter herself. Although Lu Xun advocated abstinence, he was very fond of and forgiving to his brother, and he felt that the cheerful and innocent Yu Tai Xinzi could take good care of Zhou Zuoren, so he met with the elders of Yu Tai Xinzi, and the relationship between Zhou Zuo and Yu Tai Xinzi gradually became clear, and Lu Xun became an indirect matchmaker.

After getting married, Zhou Zuoren handed over all the big and small things of his life to Yu Tai Xinzi, and the two began to be sweet and sweet, but as the days grew, the contradictions between the two continued to accumulate. Yu Tai Nobuko is a very grumpy person, often because of some small things and Zhou Zuoren shouting and crying, and Zhou Zuoren, who has a weak personality, has also tolerated it many times. Zhou Jianren once recounted that his sister-in-law fainted on the ground because of a little hysteria and stabbed the matter in the embassy. The quarrel between husband and wife to the embassy is also a big news, which brings a serious psychological shadow to the shy literary worker, Zhou Zuoren, and Shunshi Zhou Zuoren has become a wife and strict management.
After returning to China, Lu Xun hoped that he could take care of this everyone and take good care of his two younger brothers, he sold his ancestral home in Shaoxing (more than 1,000 yuan), and then took out more than 2,000 yuan from his savings and bought the big mansion in Badaowan Hutong. The daily life of the house needs to be managed by a person, Lu Xun's mother is old, and Lu Xun's wife is also in name only, so the task of housekeeper is entrusted to Yu Taixinzi.
Lu Xun's monthly income at that time was about 500 yuan, Zhou Zuoren's income was also about 450 yuan, and it was definitely a high salary in Beijing at that time (Li Hongzhang's grandson Li Guojie was the chairman of the Shanghai Steamship Merchants Bureau at the time, and his monthly salary was 500 yuan, which was the highest salary in China at that time) Yu Taixinzi controlled this "huge amount" every month, and she received her mother and brothers and sisters to the mansion in Badaowan and invited six or seven servants to take care of their personal lives. Daily meals that do not fit the mouth will be rewarded to the next person to re-make, daily necessities must be imported from Japan, children sick must be seen by Japanese doctors... Lu Xun's family may not be able to make ends meet, not only does lu xun have to borrow foreign debt every month. When Japanese power was rampant in China, Hatta Nobuko became more confident and acted more high-profile. In the end, Lu Xun reached the point of being intolerable and reprimanded Yu Taixinzi to his face, and Yu Taixinzi held a grudge in his heart.

Yu Taixin was angry and blew the pillow wind for Zhou Zuoren, and she and Zhou Zuoren said that Lu Xun peeked at her bath and liked to listen to the window. Lu Xun was an ascetic person, and Yu Tai Xinzi's appearance was very ordinary, and Yu Tai Xinzi's peeping bath complaints were very suspicious. Yu Taixinzi's window was full of flowers and plants, how could Lu Xun listen to the window. However, Zhou Zuoren completely believed his wife's words and felt that his brother was immoral and unworthy of his elders. He immediately wrote a letter to Lu Xun, which read: "In the future, please do not come to the back yard, I hope you can be at ease and respect yourself." "The words are very mean and distant.
Yu Tai Xinzi also went around preaching that Lu Xun was peeking at his bath and listening to the window, and the reason why Yu Tai Xinzi dared to speak up like this was precisely because she was sure whether Lu Xun was a literati or an influential literati, and she would certainly not be able to theorize with her about such things. It is also true that Lu Xun did not argue about his property and quietly moved out of Badaowan. But Lu Xun, who wrote as a gun, was not afraid of Yu Taixinzi, he was still afraid that his two younger brothers would be wronged, and moving out of Badaowan was his last favor and responsibility to Zhou Zuoren.
Under the tough and mean words, there is a soft heart. Lu Xun's writing can save all of China, but it can only save itself, and anything that is only contaminated with the word "love" will be extremely complicated and difficult.
