For Lu Xun's talent and righteousness, the world has never been stingy to praise, but for his married life, the world has also made a lot of accusations.
In the same arranged marriage and married a rural woman, Hu Shineng and Jiang Dongxiu raised eyebrows, but Lu Xun disdained to look at Zhu An, and spent her life.
Outsiders only know that in the marriage between Lu Xun and Juan, Zhu An is miserable, and they do not know that Lu Xun is the most innocent one.
First, "big shoes" with "three inches of golden lotus"
Lu Xun's marriage to Juan began with a scam.
In 1906, her mother tricked Lu Xun, who was studying in Japan, back home on the grounds of a serious illness. What awaited him was not his seriously ill mother, but a long-planned arranged marriage.
The situation developed rapidly, and It was completely up to Lu Xun to resist.
A few days later, Lu Xun and Juan consummated their marriage, to which he sighed:
"This is a gift from my mother, and I can only provide for it well, and love is something I don't know."
Suddenly married, Lu Xun could not accept it, and it was also a common sentiment to send a lot of anger and helplessness to Zhu An. On the night of the wedding, Lu Xun saw Juan's "big feet", sneered, and entered the study.
Long before the marriage, Lu Xun knew about this marriage, and after opposing the invalidity, he also wanted to live a good life, so he put forward several requirements, one of which was to let go.
Lu Xun didn't like the traditional little-footed woman, at least, in his opinion, it was crap.
Parents know this, and Juan knows it.
Faced with the demands of her future husband, Juan not only did not cooperate, but chose to cheat.
At the wedding, Juan wore a pair of "big shoes" to hide the fact that she had not let go of her feet.
However, "big shoes" with "three inches of golden lotus", very funny. Seeing this scene, Lu Xun cried and laughed, and could only leave helplessly.
Perhaps, Juan did not want to "put his feet" in his bones. She had no intention of changing, so she was still a little foot when she got married. Perhaps, Juan put his foot too late, and the three-inch golden lotus had formed and could not be recovered.
But whatever the reason, Juan shouldn't wear big shoes. Such self-deception and superficial "pretending" big feet will only make Lu Xun more disgusted.
Second, a sentence of "eaten", ugly
However, although Lu Xun resented Juan, he also knew in his heart that in this arranged marriage, she was also a victim.
If Juan had married an ordinary farmer, she would have been able to live her life in peace. If she's lucky, she also has the opportunity to develop a love affair with her husband. But Juan's husband is a young man with radical new ideas.
After calming down for a few days, Lu Xun's anger subsided for the most part.
Since they are all victims and the marriage has been decided, it is better to make a preliminary attempt.
On this day, Lu Xun took the initiative to communicate with Zhu An, who was working. Talking about food, Lu Xun told Juan that there is a snack in Japan that tastes very good. Before he could finish speaking, Juan rushed to say, "Yes, yes, I have eaten too." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xun looked at Juan a few times and walked away directly.
The things he said did not exist in the whole of China, and Zhu An, who had never been out of Shaoxing, how could he possibly eat them?
Juan was "illiterate" and "not putting down her feet", and Lu Xun might be able to understand this as her helplessness. But when Juan "pretended" in front of him again and again, Lu Xun breeds utter despair for her.
Perhaps, some people will say that this is because Juan wants to cater to Lu Xun and communicate with him more topics. But in Lu Xun's view, this kind of self-deceiving little cleverness suffocated him.
Lu Xun's transition from medicine to literature stemmed from a deep despair of numbness to his countrymen. At this time, the wife next to him was like this, how could Lu Xun accept it?
Third, kneel in public, the roof has collapsed
Soon, Lu Xun left his hometown and continued his studies. In the years that followed, Lu Xun rarely returned home, and even when he did, he no longer had any communication with Juan.
He knew in his heart that no matter how he communicated, it would be in vain. All he could see was another self-deceitful ugliness.
Emotionally, although Lu Xun did not give Zhu An warmth, in material terms, he has always raised this wife to ensure her economic life.
Lu Xun knew that he was like this, which was delaying Juan. Therefore, at the right time, Lu Xun filed for divorce from Juan, also wishing her another home, and promised that she would marry the daughter of the Zhou family. Juan strongly disagreed.
Once, when the Zhou family was full of guests, Juan suddenly knelt down and issued an exclamation:
"I have been coming to the Zhou family for many years, and Mr. Da does not pay much attention to me; I am not worthy of Mr. Da, and Mr. Da wants to marry a wife and take a concubine, all on his own; but I was born a member of the Zhou family, and I died as a ghost of the Zhou family, the old lady lived for one day, I served her for a day, and after a hundred years, I ate and prayed to the Buddha, and I never left the Zhou family..."
The Zhou family was originally a big family, and Zhu An's kneeling not only damaged the face of the Zhou family, but also stabilized his position in the Zhou family. In this situation now, Juan is afraid that his life and death will be in the Zhou family.
Lu Xun had never cared much about such a false name as "Zhou Family Reputation", but Juan's behavior really made him deeply desperate.
This woman, named "Juan", could not have happiness in this life.
Years later, Juan lamented that she was like a snail, working hard, but she could not climb the roof.
As everyone knows, as early as the moment she knelt in public, the house collapsed, and where is the roof to climb?
