A sentence written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Yuan in the "Festival Woman Yin Sending Dongping Li Sikong Shi Dao" is "Returning the Emperor Mingzhu with tears in his eyes, hating not meeting and not marrying." ", in order to express deep regret and regret. Regret is more or less experienced by everyone, but the degree of regret of everyone is different, among which the popular arranged marriages during the Republic of China period, the love of countless people are buried in the hands of their parents, married or married to people they do not love or even dislike, there are also some literati and inkers among these regrets, and Lu Xun is one of them.
In 1906, Lu Xun received a letter from home, informing the old mother that he was seriously ill and dying, and asked Lu Xun to return to China quickly to clean up the aftermath, and after he hurriedly returned to China, Lu Xun knew that this was a complete farce, just to let the 25-year-old Lu Xun hurry to complete the marriage. On July 6 of the same year, at the strong request of his parents, Lu Xun married a woman named Juan in his hometown.
The woman named Juan knew that the groom was a young man of the new society, and deliberately wore a pair of large shoes, enough to cover his "three-inch golden lotus", and then got on the palanquin, but when he came down, the shoes fell off, all of which was seen by the groom Lu Xun, and he was still sullen and unhappy for a long time. This marriage seemed to Lu Xun to be a farce, but there was nothing he could do.
Because the two people have not seen each other in their lives, and do not understand that Lu Xun after marriage has always maintained a safe distance from Juan, even the wedding night is separated, after 4 days of marriage, Lu Xun went out to study, and there is no nostalgia for this familiar and strange home. It was not until 1919 that Lu Xun bought his own old-fashioned three-entry hospital in Beijing that the whole family was reunited.
This does not mean that Lu Xun and Juan opened the curtain of marriage, after Juan moved to the three courtyards, Lu Xun is still separated from Juan, Juan's conservative thinking will not drive himself to leave the Zhou family, after all, the reputation of divorced women in that era is dirty, in this regard, Juan also made a vow with the Zhou family: "Born to be a member of the Zhou family, death is the ghost of the Zhou family."
Not long after, Lu Xun fell out with his brother Zhou Zuoren, and when he moved away, he asked Zhu An if he would like to stop and return to his mother's house to find his own happiness, for which Juan was not happy, and Lu Xun was not good at telling him about the divorce. In life, Juan cherished Lu Xun extremely much, and when Lu Xun was not in good health, he sought medical treatment everywhere, and also helped Lu Xun pack up his books, and his relationship with Lu Xun's mother was also relatively close.
In order to make up for the old thinking of Zhu An, Lu Xun continued to send money to Juan every month after living with his second wife Xu Guangping, a total of 100 yuan at home, and Juan had to give an additional 10 yuan. Zhu An, who had been widowed at home for a long time, had to be with his mother-in-law on weekdays, until 1929, Xu Guangping gave birth to Lu Xun's only son, Zhou Haiying, which was a heavy blow to Juan.
Juan has a very high self-healing ability in this regard, from time to time said: "Lady Xu's son is my son", wait until decades later, there is no worry about no one to send himself to the end, the nominal marriage to Juan's 58 years old, Lu Xun died, Zhu An was able to be liberated, every month on xu Guangping and Zhou Zuoren to give subsidies to live.
When Juan was 65 years old, her mother-in-law also said goodbye to the world, and since then she has categorically rejected Zhou Zuoren's money, and her life has been without waves and unexpected surprises. According to the memories of Lu Xun's student Sun Fuyuan, in the early years, Lu Xun returned to Shaoxing to visit his relatives, and Zhu An complained to Lu Xun with grievances, but at this time, Lu Xun did not say a word, but waited until Zhu An said that he was tired, and then turned away.
It is recognized that the relationship between Zhou Zuo and Lu Xun is not good, and when Lu Xun died for 8 years, he suggested that his sister-in-law Zhu An sell Lu Xun's books in exchange for some living expenses, for this reason, Xu Guangping also specially drafted a letter to Zhu An after knowing it, advising Zhu An not to sell, but at this time, Zhu An said a famous complaint: "You always say that Lu Xun's relics should be preserved, I am also Lu Xun's relics, you also have to save me!"
In the end, the books were not sold, and the old-thinking Zhu An could not get Lu Xun's love in the end, and he was depressed and regretted.
