Because she heard rumors, her mother lied about being sick and tricked Lu Xun into going home to get married
In 1906, at the age of 25, Lu Xun began his literary activities in Japan, and his mother, who was far away in his hometown, did not know where to hear rumors that Lu Xun was married in Japan and had children. In order to force Lu Xun to go home and get married, Lu Xun's mother repeatedly urged him to return to China, and later wrote a letter falsely claiming that he was sick. Receiving the news that his mother was sick, Lu Xun was worried and hurried home from Japan, but he did not expect that what was waiting for him was not his sick mother, but a wedding, and the bride of this wedding was Zhu An. Although Lu Xun was deceived and angry, he accepted the wedding out of filial piety to his mother, but this wedding also made Zhu An a widow for a lifetime.
She is my mother's wife, not mine
This arranged marriage is painful for Zhu An and Lu Xun, there is no love between the two, just a nominal couple. On the wedding night, Lu Xun read books alone all night, did not go back to his room to sleep for two days, and returned to Japan on the fourth day of marriage. And Zhu An held the title of a famous daughter-in-law, served her mother-in-law, and kept the empty room alone. Lu Xun once said to a friend: "She is my mother's wife, not my wife." ”
Zhu An, the picture comes from the Internet
Like many feudal women, Zhu An had a good temper, was good at cooking, illiterate, and wrapped her feet. In 1919, Zhu An moved to Beijing with his mother-in-law and his third brother Zhou Jianren's family under Lu Xun's arrangement, and three years later due to the discord between the Zhou brothers, Lu Xun took Zhu An to move out, and before moving away, Lu Xun asked Zhu An whether he wanted to stay in Beijing or return to Shaoxing, if Zhu An returned to his hometown, Lu Xun would send her money on time, but Zhu An refused.
The love of Xu Guangping and Lu Xun
Lu Xun and Xu Guangping met in October 1923, when Lu Xun was also a lecturer in the Chinese literature department of the Beijing Women's Higher Normal School, and Xu Guangping was a student of the Chinese literature department. Xu Guangping often sits in the first row during class, Lu Xun is a teacher who can't find a bad comment among students, and Xu Guangping is a student who likes to get carried away and ask questions bluntly when listening to class. Lu Xun and Xu Guangping met in 1925, and Xu Guangping took the initiative to write the first letter to Lu Xun. In her letter, she wrote: "Sir! When you are looking up and inhaling the intoxicating yellow leaf and spewing out wisps of incense mist, sir, do you also pity, pay attention, and think of what is unfolding in the pot? ”

On the evening of October 1925, in the studio of Lu Xun's Sanjo apartment, Lu Xun was on a rattan chair by the desk, Xu Guangping sat at the end of the bed, and the 27-year-old first held Lu Xun's hand, and he returned with a gentle and slow squeeze. He said, "You have conquered! ”

Mr. Lu Xun's two marriages
In the first marriage, Mr. Lu Xun married entirely because of the "filial piety" of his mother, although this marriage suffered Zhu An and became a titular wife. There is no name for husband and wife, but no husband and wife. This is really a bit cruel for a woman, but in a marriage without love, Lu Xun can do this step is already a great respect for Zhu An. After all, in that era of male superiority and female inferiority, Mr. Lu Xun did not divorce her, which was already the best result for Zhu An.
The second marriage is a collision between two hearts that love each other. This is Mr. Lu Xun's happiness and Xu Guangping's happiness! Although the two are almost twenty years old, Mr. Lu Xun still found his own sincere love in that turbulent era, and the traces of love were revealed everywhere after the two got married.
