Lu Xun, whose real name is Zhou Shuren, is the eldest son in the family.
He also has two younger brothers, the second brother Zhou Zuoren and the third brother Zhou Jianren.
All three of them have made achievements, but the relationship between them is full of contradictions and grievances. In particular, lu xun and his second brother Zhou Zuoren broke off their friendship, which was very noisy and well known to everyone.
First, conflicts continue, and brothers and brothers are in vain
At the beginning, Lu Xun and his younger brother Zhou Zuoren had a very good relationship, the two were not much different in age, and they both had extremely high talents in literature, and they once went to Japan to study together.
In Japan, Shusaku met his future wife, a woman from the bottom of Japan, Hatta Nobuko.
After that, Lu Xun returned to China to work, and he and his brother each gave a part of the money, plus the money obtained from the sale of the old house in Shaoxing, and bought a courtyard in Beijing's Badaowan Hutong.
Since then, Lu Xun has lived with his wife Juan, his two younger brothers, their respective families, and their mother. In the beginning, the family lived happily and swore never to separate.
However, on July 18, 1923, three years after they lived together, Zhou Zuoren wrote a letter to Lu Xun:
“
Mr. Lu Xun: I only learned about it yesterday — but there is no need to say anything about the past. I'm not a Christian, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to bear it, and I don't want to blame it—everyone is in a poor world, and my dreams of roses before were illusory, and what I see now may be real life. I want to revise my thinking and re-enter a new life. Please don't come back to the back yard in the future, there is nothing else. May you be at ease and self-respecting.
”
After receiving this letter, Lu Xun wanted to find his brother and ask him what was going on, but Zhou Zuoren refused to meet him.
The next day, Lu Xun looked around for a house, and in less than half a month, he took his mother and wife Juan and moved to No. 84 Brick Tower Hutong.
Half a month after this incident, Lu Xun returned to his original old mansion and wanted to retrieve his books and belongings, but was stopped and scolded by Zhou Zuoren and his wife.
In that conflict, the two brothers, Zhou Shuren and Zhou Zuoren, fought and threw objects at each other. Fortunately, there were people next to him who blocked it, so that there was no irreparable consequence.
It can be said that at this point, the relationship between the brothers was completely broken.
Second, there is a reason for the incident, and the truth is not yet known
Everything should have happened for a reason, and even their mother recalled:
The day before, the two brothers also moved the book in and out and said that they wanted to write articles, and the next day they couldn't live in a house, and I couldn't think of a reason to think about it.
At that time, this major incident of brotherhood was very noisy, and everyone could not figure out what had happened to make the relationship between relatives and brothers deteriorate to this point.
The truth is still unknown to us, but the most widely circulated and partially verified claim is related to Zhou Zuoren's wife, Yu Tai Nobuko.
After the family lived together, Lu Xun handed over his income to his sister-in-law Yu Taixinzi to manage.
Hata Nobuko had a very hard time as a child, and now that she has money in her hands, she has begun to squander it.
Lu Xun could get paid 600 yuan a month, which was enough for ordinary people to live for a year at that time. However, no amount of money could withstand the profligacy of Yu Tai Nobuko, and the family still could not make ends meet. In this regard, Lu Xun was somewhat dissatisfied, and once gently reminded Yu Taixinzi to spend a lot of money and not always squander it.
For Lu Xun's reminder, Yu Taixinzi did not correct it, but instead held a grudge in his heart and began to blow the wind in his ears to her husband Zhou Zuoren, such as framing Lu Xun for peeking at his bath, and saying that he often listened to the window outside his room.
Zhou Zuoren was convinced of his wife's words, and did not even ask for verification, so he decided that it was his brother's misconduct that caused the trouble in the latter place.
Third, the positions are different, and there is always no ice release of the previous suspicions
Since the relationship between the two people broke up, they have never been able to solve the contradiction and release the previous suspicion. And just after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two men embarked on two diametrically opposed paths because of their different positions.
Zhou Zuo became a traitor who served the Japanese. Although he said that he was bitter and had to save his life, he could not erase the fact that he was opportunistic and helped the aggressor.
Long before, his brother Lu Xun had written to him many times to keep him away from the Japanese, but Zhou Zuoren ignored him.
Just as the so-called Tao is different, they do not conspire with each other, and after that, the two brothers gradually drift apart.
Later, Lu Xun died, and then new China was founded, and Zhou Zuoren was sentenced to prison for adultery. Because of his literary contributions, he made an exception and was released from prison early to compile books and contribute to the country.
In his later years, Whether it was because he realized his mistakes or looked down on everything, Zhou Zuoren wanted to reconcile with his brother who had died, so he began to collect and sort out Lu Xun's previous articles and works.
In this regard, Xu Guangping's attitude was very cold, expressing the hope that he was really atonement for his sins, rather than hypocrisy and perfunctory.
After Zhou Zuoren's death, someone had informed Lu Xun's son Zhou Hainian to attend the funeral, but Zhou Hainian resolutely refused and did not attend.
The brothers who once loved each other have come to this step, which is really lamentable.
