Lu Xun was one of China's great literati, and in that dark time, he used his pen as a gun to sing about China's injustices and awaken the ignorance of the Chinese people. With people like Lu Xun present, we know that no matter how broken China is, it is still not dead.
You must have heard a lot about Lu Xun's greatness and the contributions he made. Speaking of Lu Xun's wife, is everyone's first reaction xu Guangping? But Xu Guangping was not Lu Xun's original match, Lu Xun's original name was Zhu An, a traditional old-fashioned Chinese woman. She was petite, with small feet, illiterate and loyal to her man.
Lu Xun is the eldest son in the family, and his marriage is naturally a major event. Since the death of Lu Xun's father, Mrs. Zhou has been thinking about it all day and finding a daughter-in-law for Lu Xun.
At that time, Lu Xun was already in the middle of the road, and they couldn't look at them at the top of the door, and they couldn't look at them at the bottom of the door. Looking around, I looked for Juan.
Juan was born into a merchant family, but his ancestors also served as a petty official like Zhi County, plus Juan was very docile and the old lady of Zhou liked it. The Zhu family believes that although the Zhou family is financially strapped, Old Master Zhou once served as a high official in Beijing, and although he was later questioned, the Zhou family is still a famous family in Shaoxing. Both families are still quite satisfied, and the marriage is settled.
At that time, Lu Xun was studying in a new-style school, and although he objected to this marriage, Mrs. Zhou insisted, so she had to give up. But he also made a request to the Zhu family, hoping that Zhu An would let go of his little foot and go to the new-style school to study.
The Zhu family was a traditional family, and they were shocked to hear this, and did not do what Lu Xun said. So this marriage was also delayed, and later Lu Xun went to Japan to study, and he had no intention of getting married.
In the end, Mrs. Zhou couldn't stay up, and even wrote several letters, falsely claiming that she was sick and tricking Lu Xun back into marriage.
Weddings follow old-fashioned etiquette, cumbersome and serious. At that time, Lu Xun had already cut off his braids, and when he became a parent, he also wore a fake braid. Juan sat in a sedan and was carried to the Zhou family, blowing and beating along the way, revealing a different joy from the cold and empty life in the future.
The palanquin landed on the ground, and a small embroidered shoe stretched out from the palanquin. Because the palanquin was a little high, it did not step on the ground for a while, and then the embroidered shoes fell off, revealing the small pointy feet inside.
Juan heard that her future husband didn't like women with small feet, so she wore a pair of normal-sized embroidered shoes stuffed with cotton. Ben wanted to please her husband, but did not want to make a joke, and this seemed to indicate the unhappiness of the marriage.
Many people were afraid that the groom would make a fuss, but Lu Xun silently cooperated with the whole audience. This is not to say that Lu Xun is not angry, but he has chosen a silent confrontation. He was not satisfied with his wife candidate, and he was deceived by his mother from Japan, and his heart was full of anger.
On the second day of marriage, Lu Xun did not go to the ancestral hall according to the rules, nor did he return to the new room at night, but slept alone in the study. On the third day, I packed my bags and went to Japan.
Juan didn't know why her husband was so kind to herself, so she had to stay alone in the empty room and wash her face with tears. The marriage seemed to have become a cage, and Lu Xun was caught and Zhu An was locked.
An old-fashioned woman whose life was tied to her husband from the moment she married. No matter how her husband treated herself, she chose to suffer in silence.
Lu Xun only maintained a formal marriage relationship with Juan, and he once said to his friend: "She (Juan) is my mother's wife, not my wife." It was a gift from my mother, and I had only one obligation to support, and love was something I didn't know. ”
Lu Xun did not think about divorce, but the woman who was divorced at that time will suffer far more bitterly than her current life, especially the Zhu family is still an old-fashioned family.
It's not that he is not jealous of Xu Guangping, but Juan is a kind and generous person. After that, she regarded Xu Guangping's son as her own son, and loved the mother and son very much, and even Xu Guangping's son had great respect for her.
After Lu Xun's death, Juan lived a very hard life, and the daily food was mainly millet noodles, vegetable soup and a few homemade pickles, even so, it was often difficult to guarantee.
In this way, she also refused to help from society, maintained her self-esteem, and guarded the relics left by her husband.
In the early hours of June 29, 1947, Juan died alone, without a single person around. Later, it was placed at The Baofu Temple outside Xizhimen, and there was no tombstone. She lived to be 69 years old, but spent more than forty years empty, maintaining an empty tragic marriage, pitiful!
