Xiao Jun
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" ></h1>
When Xiao Jun is mentioned, people will inevitably think of Xiao Hong. Although he was also an excellent writer, the most widely circulated work was "The Countryside in August".
However, what makes his name more widely known is his love affair with Xiao Hong.
As everyone knows, Xiao Jun's final destination is a woman named Wang Defen, who has been with Xiao Jun for 50 years and has given birth to 5 children.
In the summer of 1932, Xiao Jun became acquainted with Xiao Hong, who was in distress.
Xiao Jun and Xiao Hong are both pen names, and the character Xiao Jun has admired since childhood is Xiao En in the Peking Opera "Fishing and Killing Family", plus he is from the army, so he gave himself the pen name Xiao Jun.
And Xiao Hong gave herself this name after following Xiao Jun.
The two fell in love at first sight and quickly made a lifelong commitment. Xiao Jun in love is as free as ever, and the principle is "love is love, and if you don't love, you throw it away."
Xiao Jun and Xiao Hong spent six years together, and at the beginning the two of them were bitter and happy, from Harbin to Qingdao, from Qingdao to Shanghai, hugging each other for warmth, not only husband and wife, friends, but also confidants and confidants.
Xiao Jun and Xiao Hong
But Xiao Hong's talent is like an awl that stands out, which makes Xiao Jun, who has machismo ideas, feel uncomfortable from time to time.
From knowing each other to complaining, Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun finally parted ways due to personality discord, leaving irreparable regrets for the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="104" > two</h1>
In fact, Xiao Hong is Xiao Jun's second wife, and xiao Jun had just ended his first marriage a few months before he knew Xiao Hong.
Xiao Jun married at the age of fifteen, and when he was still in his hometown of Xiapangou Village in Yixian County, Liaoning Province, his father married his first wife for him, named Xu Shufan.
Xu Shufan was a year older than Xiao Jun, beautiful and petite, and knew some words.
Whenever Xiao Jun returned home from studying in other provinces, the wife always gave her a lot of love and could talk to him a lot, and the two had a lot of common language.
Xiao Jun's first wife, Xu Shufan
In particular, Xu Shufan's father, Xiao Jun's old father-in-law, was also very good to him, and every year he always had to bury a few jars of good dates with Ruixue, and the red tongtong kept them for him. Relieve the aunt of this soldier.
At the beginning of 1932, Xiao Jun realized that it was too dangerous to engage in underground anti-Japanese activities, and he was also mentally prepared to repay the country with his death.
In order not to live up to his wife's youth and let her remarry, the two have since broken off the relationship between husband and wife.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="105" > three</h1>
Soon, Xiao Jun met Xiao Hong, 21, in the ice city of Harbin Xiaojun.
At that time, Xiao Hong was still called Zhang Di (nai) Ying, and she was about to give birth with a big belly, because she was deceived and was detained in the hotel and lost her freedom of movement. The arrears of several hundred yuan of food and accommodation have not been settled.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoying was facing the danger of being sold to a brothel, and Xiao Jun, who was heroic and courageous, resolutely stretched out his hands and saved her.
Later, Zhang Xiaoying became Xiao Jun's second wife and became a female writer Xiao Hong who attracted attention in the literary world.
Xiao Jun later once commented on their six-year marriage: Xiao Hong and I met by chance, got to know each other by chance, and accidentally combined together.
In the end, Xiao Jun and Xiao Hong broke up, each taking their own path and going their own way to find their own lives.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="108" > four</h1>
A big reason for Xiao Hong's breakup with Xiao Jun was because Xiao Jun's temper was too grumpy, and even grumpy to the point where she was afraid.
Yes, Xiao Jun is an extremely grumpy person, and there are several things that can prove his violent character.
For example, in 1936, Lu Xun died of illness, and many magazines published articles of mourning.
Xiao Jun and Lu Xun had a friendship between teachers and students, so they took the three publications that Lu Xun had specially cared for before his death, "Zhongliu", "Writer", and "Translation", which had just been published, and burned them in front of Lu Xun's tomb, and all three publications had articles commemorating Lu Xun.
This incident was known to Ma Jifeng and others, who were not at odds with Lu Xun, and they took the opportunity to publish an article in the "Great Evening News" attacking Xiao Jun, saying that he was Lu Xun's "filial piety and grandson" and accusing him of burning publications as a foolish act of feudal superstition.
When Xiao Jun saw this article, he was furious and wanted to fight back with words, thinking that it was more painful to use his fists.
So he went straight to the newspaper office, asked clearly, and then said, "Well, I don't have time to write an article to answer you, so I might as well have a fight." If I lose, then there's no need to say; if you lose, don't write this kind of bullshit in the future. ”
Ma Jifeng and others had difficulty riding a tiger and barely managed to fight. When it came to the day of the duel, Xiao Jun and Ma Jifeng faced off. In just two rounds, Xiao Jun threw Ma Jifeng to the ground and beat him violently.

Xiao Hong
Xiao Jun's violent personality has a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up when he was a child.
Xiao Jun, whose real name is Liu Honglin, was born on July 3, 1907 in Xianianpangou Village, Shenjiatai Town, Yixian County, Liaoning Province.
Xiao Jun was born in a big family, and his father had many brothers and sisters, and it can be said that all of them were Haojie.
The second uncle became a bandit, gathered in the mountains and forests, killed the rich and helped the poor, and was known as the "Thirteenth Taibao".
The third uncle organized a volunteer army to resist the Japanese, and after the defeat, he was beaten with two thousand lashes, pressed the rolling bar, and did not frown a little.
His father was grumpy and often scolded his mother, who was unbearable and committed suicide when Xiao Jun was only seven months old.
Xiao Jun studied in the village private school and the county primary school in his childhood, and in such a violent family, he rebelled since he was a child, and skipping class was a common thing, nicknamed "truant ghost".
Xiao Jun took a group photo with Xiao Hong and Huang Yuan
Skipping school is skipping school, and this boy actually has to negotiate with his father to justify truancy, and he can't help but be beaten by a fat meal, and once he was beaten to dislocated his arm.
When he was ten years old, Xiao Jun, who was full of heroic fantasies, found a master, learned the art from the teacher, and vowed to "insert a single knife in his back, break into the rivers and lakes, eliminate violence and peace, and help the weak." ”
At the age of seventeen, Xiao Jun, who was in the third grade of high school, was unreasonably reprimanded by an improper physical education teacher, indignantly resisted, and was expelled from the school on the grounds of "insulting the teacher".
His father threw him out of the house in a fit of rage and told him, "I don't want to go after you and go to court."
From now on, do whatever you want and make a living for yourself! ”
At the age of eighteen, Xiao Jun became a cavalryman, a profession he had long dreamed of.
Because of his beautiful handwriting, he was later promoted to "Clerical Probationary Sergeant". He dreamed of a happy life that "only a great hero can be his true color, and he is a true celebrity".
However, the social reality of the time soon made him taste the bitterness of his dream being shattered.
He began publishing articles under a pseudonym in the press exposing corruption in the army.
In the autumn of 1927, Xiao Jun went to the Northeast Army's Daowutang in Shenyang as a gendarme, and two years later transferred to the Northeast Army's Daowutang Artillery Section. Although the military career was bumpy, it was always a thrill.
Unexpectedly, near graduation, a big thing happened. Once, an artillery cadet stabbed the infantry cadet's bunker with a shovel for being naughty, and the infantry captain was beaten violently without saying a word.
Xiao Jun rushed up to reason, and the infantry captain slapped his hand on the slap, and he flashed quickly, grabbed the shovel in his hand, and split it head-on.
If it were not for being held in time, this shovel would probably kill the other party. The infantry captain's grandfather was Zhang Zuolin's secretary general, and Xiao Jun was immediately expelled.
After the "918 Incident", Xiao Jun secretly participated in the organization of the "Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army", and then infiltrated Harbin and began a career as a writer under the pseudonym "Sanlang".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112" >6</h1>
After Xiao Jun broke up with Xiao Hong, he soon met the destination of his life, Wang Defen.
In 1937, at the age of 18, Wang Defen was attending a school in Suzhou Art College, and after the summer vacation, she was about to go to the third grade.
This summer, Wang Defen came to Shanghai to find her sister, wang Deqian, who was five years older and a student of the Chinese department of a university in Shanghai, with left-leaning thinking, love of literature, and great admiration for Mr. Lu Xun.
While in Shanghai, once her sister led Wang Defen by tram to visit Lu Xun's wife, Xu Guangping.
Xiao Jun Wang Defen's family
On the tram, Wang Defen met Xiao Jun for the first time, and this time, Xiao Jun left a deep impression on Wang Defen, and even many years later, Wang Defen could clearly recall Xiao Jun's outfit that day.
"He had thick black hair and a brownish-red face, though a little thin, but strong, much like a swimmer. He wears a white short-sleeved knitted tennis shirt on the upper body, white Western-style trousers on the lower body, and a pair of pointed leather shoes on the feet. He rested one leg on the other and was intently looking at a newspaper. ......”
Wang Defen's father, who originally worked in Shanghai and Nanjing, came to Gansu with his wife and three youngest children in 1835, leaving his sister in Shanghai, his brother in Nanjing, and Wang Defen studying alone in Suzhou.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the situation was turbulent, the school was closed, and the three brothers and sisters were all taken to their homes in Gansu by their fathers.
After returning to Gansu, her sister Wang Deqian invited Wu Bo, a leftist journalist from Shanghai, to come to Shanghai to carry out propaganda work on the anti-Japanese struggle to save the dead.
Xiao Jun and Wang Defen took an early group photo
They propagated the anti-Japanese resistance by painting posters, teaching and singing anti-Japanese salvation songs, and rehearsing street dramas, and their activities were carried out in full swing.
In order to strengthen the leadership of the progressive literary and art movement in Lanzhou, Wu Bo wrote a letter inviting Seck and Xiao Jun, who were in Xi'an, to work in Lanzhou.
In the early morning of April 18, 1938, two young people walked into the front yard of No. 49 Tanshi Street in Lanzhou City and asked Mr. Wu if he lived here. Wang Defen, who heard the shouting, came out and warmly received them.
That night, Xiao Jun and Wu Ke went to watch the anti-Japanese drama "Put Down Your Whip", in which Wang Defen played the role of "Xiang Jie", and when performing, Xiao Jun had been smiling and watching Wang Defen's performance, and defen's face was red.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jun took a vase with a scarlet bead wrapped around the neck of the little girl's favorite, and the bottle was inserted with thorn roses that were blooming in this season, and he gave this gift to Defen.
Wang Defen's calm and reserved heart was thus thrown a stone by Xiao Jun, which stirred up ripples and rippled away one by one.
Yes, Xiao Jun launched his love offensive against Wang Defen so quickly.
At this time, Xiao Jun had just left Xiao Hong, and during the time when he and Xiao Hong were divided and merged, his heart also became tired.
When the pure and innocent Wang Defen appeared in front of him, it was immediately like a clear spring, making him quiet and refreshing, which was exactly what attracted him to Wang Defen.
In 1981, Xiao Jun was in Xiao Hong's former residence in his later years
And Xiao Jun was the age of fenghua, enthusiastic and sincere, and he was the author of the famous "August Countryside" at that time, or a student of Lu Xun, all of which was also very tempting and lethal for the young 18-year-old girl Wang Defen.
The two people are attracted to each other and soon fall in love, and even if they live in the same yard, they have to constantly write letters to express their love.
Xiao Jun is 12 years older than Wang Defen and has had two previous marriages, especially his relationship with Xiao Hong, whose love, quarrel and breakup have been well known in the literary and art circles.
What's more, Xiao Jun, who is already 30 years old, lives in poverty and has no place to live, and it is still difficult for him to support himself, which parent is willing to entrust his daughter to such a person?
So the Wang family issued an eviction order to Xiao Jun, and Xiao Jun was driven out.
Xiao Jun's later years
Wang Defen was also strictly guarded by her parents, but Wang Defen's sister Wang Deqian was very supportive of them, secretly passing letters to her sister who was "under house arrest" while interceding for Xiao Jun in front of her parents.
Xiao Jun came to the door to directly negotiate with the Wang family's parents to argue with reason, the main reason was to see that Wang Defen had made up his mind to follow Xiao Jun, and the Wang family's parents finally agreed to their marriage, and published a revelation in the "Republic of China Daily" at that time, announcing that Xiao Jun and Wang Defen were engaged.
From Coming to Lanzhou on April 18, to announcing the engagement on June 1, Xiao Jun took Wang Defen out of Lanzhou to Wuhan on June 6, and Xiao Jun's marriage with Wang Defen was really a real flash marriage.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="116" > seven</h1>
The passion for love soon faded, and Xiao Jun, who lived with Wang Defen after entering marriage, suddenly changed, becoming selfish and indifferent. Every day, he goes to work to have meetings or visit the door, and rarely stays at home.
After arriving home, it is either writing or reading books, a posture of "no one in sight", and even the life of husband and wife is "routine". Irritable, he even did something to Wang Defen
This kind of day without love and no warmth made Wang Defen extremely painful, and she washed her face with tears every day and began to regret that she did not listen to her parents.
Wang Defen, who has a tradition of thought, is not a free rebel against Xiao Hong, what she can do is to repeatedly wronged herself, no matter what Xiao Jun does to him, or even blatantly cheats on him in the future, she loves him with all her heart and follows him.
On September 9, 1939, Xiao Jun and Wang Defen's eldest daughter was born, and Xiao Jun was very happy, because he liked to sing, so he named her Xiao Ge.
Although Xiao Jun was very cold to Wang Defen and regarded her as air, he loved children very much, and Wang Defen gave birth to five children for him: the eldest daughter Xiao Ge, the eldest son Xiao Ming, the second daughter Xiao Yun, the third daughter Xiaohong died of illness when she was one year old, and the youngest daughter was Xiao Bin.
Xiao Jun's family portrait
Wang Defen worked hard to raise 5 children, but still did not stop Xiao Jun's pace of finding new love.
In 1951, the 44-year-old Xiao Jun met Zhang University, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Hong, and Xiao Jun took the initiative to approach her, and the feelings gradually warmed up, until 1953, when Zhang Da university got off Xiao Jun's child. Named Xiao Ying.
Zhang University's parents resolutely opposed their daughter and Xiao Jun's being together, and cut off relations with her for this reason, and Zhang University also knew that Xiao Jun could not divorce Wang Defen, so she left the child to her mother in despair and went outside alone.
The kind Wang Defen took Xiao Ying to his home and took the initiative to take care of her.
In his later years, Xiao Jun and Wang Defen
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="117" >8</h1>
Later, in the 50 years of the Hu Feng incident and the social movement in the 60s, When Xiao Jun was implicated and persecuted, Wang Defen never gave up, but loved him wholeheartedly, took care of him, and never mentioned the word divorce.
As the children grew to adulthood, Xiao Jun's heart finally returned to Wang Defen, who confessed to Wang Defen that we should not be separated. Like many ordinary old wives in their old age, they laugh for a while and look quite happy.
Therefore, the right and wrong between husband and wife, bumps and bumps only the parties themselves understand it, outsiders have nothing to comment on.
On June 22, 1988, Xiao Jun died at the age of 81.
In October 2001, the 82-year-old Wang Defen also followed him.
