Zhou Jianren
Zhou Jianren's marriage to the original Yu Taifangzi began with a deformed expectation, which was a flower that bloomed in the black soil, and was not carefully cultivated, even if it was forcibly fruited, it would only be sour.
The world seems to have a deep hatred for men who abandon their wives and children, and their sensitivity to the word "other marriage" is even more surprisingly high, is it zhou Jianren's other marriage, is it really like Chen Shimei to attract people to spit on?
What kind of grief and shame caused a son to draw a knife and stab his father? How could Zhou Jianren, who was the patriarch of the Zhou family, prefer to give up his brothers and sisters rather than be separated from his wife who "married another"?
Zhou Jian's life was born at a moment when the edifice of feudal society was about to fall, so this person's life in the world always carried a simple rebellion, more introverted than Lu Xun, and more self-sufficient than Zhou Zuoren.
A man who advocates "women's liberation" is generally very respectful of women.
The women of the Zhou family
It is almost hard to imagine that such a man could actually marry another wife, and thus cause his son to draw his sword against each other, break with his brother, and even indirectly kill his own young son.
Zhou Jianren is a very filial person, he is the only son of the Zhou family who has not stayed in the west, not because he has no chance, but he can't bear to see his mother lonely and lonely, living alone in his homeland, which is inevitably desolate.
Zhou Mu Lu Rui
His concern for his mother may also be one of the reasons why Zhou Jianren has not divorced Yu Taifangzi for a long time, and his love for Yu Taifangzi also makes him unbearable to let her become a single woman like a mother.
The beginning of Zhou Jianren's marriage with the original Yu Taifangzi was not a natural result of the strong love, but mixed with certain human factors.
Zhou Haiying once mentioned his uncle's marriage in "Lu Xun and Me 70 Years" and called it the result of "persecution and fraud".
Zhou Zuoren's wife, yu tai Yoshiko's sister, Yu Tai Xinzi, after she drunk Zhou Jianren, let Fangzi share a room with him, so that raw rice was made into cooked rice.
As for whether this "rice" has long been eaten, only those who "eat" can taste it.
In fact, Fangzi herself may not be able to distinguish between right and wrong, perhaps attracted by Zhou Jianren, or perhaps following her sister's arrangement, the young Yu Taifangzi became the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family with such a "semi-deceptive" attitude.
The left one is Yuta Nobuko
The marriage relationship brokered by such a conspiracy began with the greedy demands of Hatta Nobuko.
Yu Tai Nobuko was originally just a Japanese maid that Lu Xun had sought, and she was desperate for greater power and wealth after becoming the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
With her elderly mother and weak sister-in-law, Hata Nobuko naturally became the mistress of the family and actually held power.
And the only thing that could pose a threat to her was the vacant position of the third daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. So when she was pregnant, she found her sister who was far away in Japan, Hatta Yoshiko.
At that time, Lu Xun's whole family was living in the Zhou Mansion in Badaowan, and Zhou Jianren and Yu Taifangzi naturally avoided many contacts.
Badaowan Lu Xun's former residence
It is false to say that there is no good feeling, but how much of a common topic can these two people, one is a progressive young man with higher education, and the other is a small family woman with no ink on his chest?
Two people who think differently can only talk about being sentient, but they will never rise to the height of love.
In the early days, Yu Taifangzi could also be regarded as a virtuous wife, and the marriage between them could at least be called harmonious, otherwise the two people would not have children and daughters.
But how much opinion and truth can a woman who easily obeys others and delivers her life to herself by means of unseemly means have?
Zhou Jianren's life in Badaowan was actually not very happy, and the main reason was money. At that time, Zhou Jianren did not have a stable source of income in Beijing, nor did he have the vast connections of his brother Lu Xun.
Lu Xun
As a man, such a day is actually extraordinarily hot. And the yu tai fangzi sisters from a small family, the desire for money directly determines their attitude towards others.
It is needless to say that Hata Nobuko, who turned from a maid to a master, has made her a master of the command.
In her opinion, a man like Zhou Jianren is extremely saccharine, and can be classified as the same treatment as a servant.
Wooden hands and feet, stupid like worms, Yu Tai Xinzi often insulted Zhou Jianren with the Chinese that she would not get much.
Out of the harmonious consideration of family relations, but also for the consideration of his wife, Zhou Jianren chose to tolerate it again and again, not only in exchange for his wife's pity, but in exchange for his wife's intensification of scolding.
Did Zhou Jianren really do something wrong? Perhaps in the eyes of the Yu Tai Fangzi sisters, men have no economic income and cannot provide them with a good life, which is the original sin.
And zhou jianren in this period did have some nest and naïve qualities in it.
He fantasized that even if he didn't have the money to arm himself, he would be more tolerant, and maybe in exchange for some lost respect.
However, looking at the world from your own perspective, it is others who are lost, and it is yourself who is lost.
After feeling the bone-chilling cold and malice, Zhou Jianren chose to think bitterly. He began to study with young students and broaden his horizons. In the face of her enterprising husband, Yu Tai Yoshiko still chooses to be cold-eyed and ridiculed.
In this marriage, Yu Taifangzi has become an outsider first, and she automatically separates her honor and disgrace from Zhou Jianren.
Since then, the word "Zhou Jianren" has become a symbol representing "husband" for Yu Taifangzi, which contains a little affection and can no longer be deeply investigated.
Dismantling the dignity of men, that unquenchable hatred supports Zhou Jianren, no matter how difficult, we must persist. Find a way out, find a real way to break the game.
One day, Zhou Zuoren and his wife went on a trip and invited Yu Taifangzi to accompany them, and at this time, Zhou Jianren still naively thought that he should go together, and Fangzi was full of disgust: "Do you want to go too?" What about money? "Completely pulled him back to reality.
Yeah, what about money?
On the other hand, his brother Zhou Zuoren on the side was like a cold-eyed spectator, and the cold eyes made Zhou Jianren feel a bone-chilling feeling.
Zhou Zuoren
He seemed to suddenly realize that at this time, Yu Taifangzi was the younger sister of Yu Taixinzi, not his wife Zhou Jianren.
The last attachment that supported him was broken, and Zhou Jianren no longer had any more concerns about the family's survival.
He begged Lu Xun to help him find a job, a stable "decent job" that could help him support his family and stabilize his dignity.
In the process of the development of this dilemma-like marriage, what supports Zhou Jianren to go on is no longer the so-called conjugal love, but the responsibility of men and feudal confinement.
In love, Zhou Jianren could not abandon his wife who bore children for himself. Yu Li and Zhou Jianren knew that a divorced woman could not survive in this cannibalistic society.
Hatae Yoshiko and her descendants
In October 1921, Zhou Jianren went to Shanghai, and at this time Yu Taifangzi was already pregnant with Rokkaku. This separation can really be described as the beginning of the separation of husband and wife.
A different place, for the marriage relationship that originally had only a glimmer of life, is actually not a disaster.
Even if Yu Taifangzi is ruthless, Zhou Jianren still insists on righteousness. Even though he was not rich in Shanghai, Zhou Jianren still wrote many letters and even personally returned to Beijing to persuade him, hoping that his wife would come to Shanghai to reunite with him.
There may still be a glimmer of hope in Zhou Jianren's heart, perhaps as long as she escapes the control of Yu TaiXinzi, her wife can live well with herself.
However, the barren thoughts carved in Yu Taifangzi's bones made her only see the happiness in front of her.
She is not a Chinese woman educated in three or four virtues, Zhou Jianren is not her heaven, but a place that supports her life and provides her with a good life.
She was reluctant to leave her sister and relatives, reluctant to live in Badaowan, or so to speak, reluctant to live in the rich life in front of her.
She knew that if she went to Shanghai with Zhou Jianren to live, she was doomed to live a hard life. From luxury to frugality, it runs counter to the original intention of Yu Taifangzi marrying Zhou Jianren.
Add to that the good life that her sister painted for her. Yu Taifangzi had long been unable to become the wife of the chaff who shared the happiness and suffering with Zhou Jianren.
The first on the right is Hatta Nobuko
As outsiders, we cannot stand on the moral high ground to condemn and demand Yu Taifangzi, to share weal and woe with Zhou Jianren. But as her husband, it is impossible to say that she is not chilled.
If Zhou Jianren at this time still retains the last trace of insistence on marriage, then the support for him may not even be a love, can only say that he still has a responsibility to the family.
Life in Shanghai is not good, Zhou Jianren receives a monthly salary of 80 yuan, but often has to work until late at night.
Even so, Zhou Jianren still needed to send 30 yuan a month to his wife, and even at the instigation of Yu TaiXinzi, it became 50 yuan per month.
Perhaps the two people also had a relatively happy husband and wife relationship, and they also wanted to grow old with each other.
But the vicissitudes of the sea can still change the mulberry field, let alone the human heart? I am afraid that the sweet things that were once there have lost the courage to persevere under the blow of reality.
Just at this time, Zhou Jianren met his student Wang Yunru in Shaoxing in Shanghai. The two men, who share the same learning experiences and cultural backgrounds, quickly fell in love.
In 1925, the two officially lived together and lived in the model of husband and wife.
Wang Yunru and Zhou Jianren
As for whether Yu Tai Yoshiko was aware of her husband's various behaviors, we do not know. Or maybe she confidently believes that Wang Yunru's existence does not threaten her at all, as long as her husband still insists on sending money to her home every month, she will still be the righteous Mrs. Zhou.
Why was Zhou Jianren willing to abandon his identified conceptual consciousness and gossip for Wang Yunru?
It's because two people have a common idea, a common language. And the deeper one is because Wang Yunru helped Zhou Jianren find the young man who was once in Shaoxing.
Behind the other marriage is Zhou Jianren's intolerable resistance, which is timely, and the light that comes out of the cracks is the liberation of the soul after finding the true self.
And all this is not only the beginning of Zhou Jianren's liberation, but also the beginning of the whole absurd story to the other extreme.
The Spring Festival of 1937 was not festive at all for the entire Zhou family.
Lu Xun, the top pillar of the family, had just died, and the family had originally planned to use Zhou Mu's eightieth birthday to alleviate the sadness of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.
Three brothers of the Zhou family
The arrival of Zhou Jianren and his wife and three daughters completely broke the taiping of the Zhou family. The ending of the story begins to move in an irrepressible direction.
Hatae Yoshiko made a big fuss at the birthday feast, and her son Toyoji was completely on his mother's side. Perhaps in the son's cognition, the father is indeed a negative man, and Chen Shimei is an uncompromising Chen Shimei.
Since they have not fulfilled their parenting responsibilities, they should not bring their so-called "little three" to humiliate their mothers.
Zhou Jianren's upbringing of children is very small, and Fengji, Ma Li, and Fengsan all grew up under the education of their mother Yoshiko and aunt Nobuko, and it is inevitable that they have a lot of Japanese habits on them.
Therefore, when Toyoji stabbed his father with a Japanese saber, everything was so absurd but reasonable.
The son actually wielded a knife to slash at his father, and this knife was split by the last fig leaf under the tragic original family.
Zhou Jianren no longer had half a fantasy and responsibility for this family that he had never integrated into, except for the occasional letter quarrel, Zhou Jianren seemed to have completely separated from this family.
Song Lin, who wrote a letter to Mother Zhou, once wrote in a letter to Xu Guangping: "Mr. Three wrote to rebuke Feng Er, saying that Mr. Three would not recognize him as a son in return. It can be seen that Zhou Jianren's attitude is determined to this point.
His brother Zhou Zuoren did not speak out for himself when he was in trouble, but after he broke with his wife and children, he wrote a letter to persuade himself, saying that Wang Yunru was just a concubine in the eyes of the world, and he was his concubine.
And zhou jianren regarded Wang Yun as a treasure and regarded him as his only wife, how could he allow Zhou Zuoren to be so humiliated. The brotherhood also eventually led to a rupture.
Zhou Jianren struggled with himself in this marriage full of ruins, but what about Yu Taifangzi? Do you reflect on your own life in a miserable old age?
Is the lifelong non-marriage in the second half of life a nostalgia and repentance for marriage, or is it stubbornly full of resentment and struggle?
Hatae Yoshiko
Compared to Toyoji's resoluteness, Toyotomi is even more crazy. As a young man, he almost never enjoyed his father's love, and may not understand why his father publicly broke off relations with him.
In his opinion, his father's determination to abandon his wife and son was almost cold-blooded, breaking the recognition in his heart of the glorious image of his father.
Ni Moyan once made it clear in "China's Traitors and Hermits: Zhou Zuoren" that most of Fengsan's suicide came from family disputes.
The father's indifference, the mother's madness, and the brother's resentment all made this uninvolved child crazy.
Suddenly, the whole world went crazy.
The young boy chose to end his life at the age of eighteen.
Zhou Jianren Wang Yunru is like a family of three
And Zhou Jianren actually did not react to this, as if it were social news in the newspaper. This is compared with the original abandonment of the future for the mother, for the wife and children to endure the anger of the past, people sigh. Perhaps only Zhou Jianren himself knew the taste.
Due to the tragedy of the original family, the three sisters and brothers who lacked father's love since childhood were all idle and mediocre in life, while the three daughters of Zhou Jianren and Wang Yunru were all outstanding and quite accomplished.
The three sisters, who were not recognized by the Zhou family, looked more like the orthodox bloodline of the Zhou family.
Zhou Jianren and his descendants
As for Zhou Jianren, did he really let go?
In an interview with Zhou Jianren in his later years, a reporter once mentioned: "Are you grateful to Zhou Zuoren for raising three children on his behalf?" Zhou Jianren, as if he hadn't heard, turned his head and left.
Zhou Jianren in his later years
Is it because you really feel that it has nothing to do with yourself, or do you have no words to uncover the old scars?
Zhou Feng'er, who had angrily stabbed his father with a saber, also said that he had "no contact with his biological father earlier." ”
Whether it is a passerby at the end of the world, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, there is no longer half a point of affection to speak of.
