As the saying goes: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread far and wide." "Some people have been diligent and earnest all their lives, hard work, no one praises, but once they make a mistake, they will immediately be caught and scolded, more than 70 years ago, a poor woman in desperation to sell some of her husband's books for money, but immediately published in the newspaper criticism, attacked by countless strangers, at this time she said a word, so that the angry crowd quieted down, this poor woman, is Juan.
As we all know, Lu Xun had two women in his life, one was Zhu An, who was married in an arranged marriage, and the other was Xu Guangping, who was married in free love. As a writer, Lu Xun was successful; but as a husband, at least Juan's husband, he was unqualified, after marrying Juan that year, Lu Xun immediately ran to Japan, leaving Juan alone in the empty house, and this poor old-time woman could only swallow silently and stay in the Zhou family to take care of her mother-in-law, working hard and complaining, this care, that is, 13 years, until the mother-in-law died.
At the same time, Lu Xun had long been with the student Xu Guangping, and had also given birth to a son, the family's life and harmony were incomparably moist, Lu Xun seemed to have long forgotten the knotted wife Zhu An, who was still in Shaoxing to take care of his family, perhaps this "wife" was just a personal servant who took care of his mother in his eyes.
In 1936, Lu Xun died, legally speaking, there are 2 heirs to Lu Xun's estate, one is the original Zhu An, the other is the son Zhou Haiying, and Xu Guangping can only be regarded as his "lover" and has no inheritance rights. Although we don't know how much inheritance Lu Xun left behind, according to his past income and copyright fees, it is definitely enough for the family to have no worries. However, this was not the case, after Lu Xun's death, Zhu An lived a life of relying on people (Xu Guangping) to send money to support.
However, the honest and accustomed Zhu An did not raise objections, and even referred to Xu Guangping and Zhou Haiying as family members, and later Xu Guangping told Zhu An to let her transfer Lu Xun's copyright to herself, and Zhu An agreed; then Xu Guangping took all of Lu Xun's belongings in Shanghai, and Zhu An also had no objection. Then Juan lived a life of relying on Xu Guangping to "receive help", of course, Xu Guangping has always sent her living expenses as promised.
Until 1941, Xu Guangping was imprisoned, at this time she naturally had no chance to send money to Juan, so this old-fashioned woman who had never worked and had been taking care of others for most of her life lived a difficult life of eating and eating, seeing that her body could not survive, and the helpless Juan was ready to sell some of Lu Xun's books and exchange some money for rice.
As a result, Xu Guangping, who had not managed Juan for several years, immediately received the news, and immediately published a newspaper accusing Juan of his behavior and asking him to keep Lu Xun's collection of books well. Overnight, Lu Xun's fans ran to attack Juan, and even Lu Xun's former friends rushed to Beijing to stop Juan. This poor, helpless woman trembled all over her body, and finally couldn't help but roar out: "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 me! With that, Juan sat down on the ground.
Everyone present was momentarily quiet, looking at the helpless woman in front of them, and no longer embarrassed to accuse her more. Yes, for so many years, Juan has taken serious care of Lu Xun's mother, and has never accused Xu Guangping and Lu Xun of things, and even regarded the children of the two of them as their own, but no one has praised her behavior, and as a result, now when there is an incident, everyone stands on the moral high ground to accuse her, is this really fair?
On June 29, 1947, Juan died, there was no one around, she did not spend more than half of her life in loneliness, her only wish before her death was to be buried next to her husband Lu Xun, but this wish has not been fulfilled to this day, And Juan does not even have a tombstone.
