During the May Fourth period, the two brothers Zhou Zuo and Lu Xun threw themselves into the new cultural movement and jointly opposed feudal ideas, morality and culture, which could be called the two brilliant stars in the new literary circle at that time, and the harmonious brotherly relationship between the two was also a good story at that time.
Unfortunately, the two brothers later lost peace and have since parted ways, which has become a huge regret in the history of Chinese culture.
As for the reasons for the discord, both Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren are secretive, and for the outside world, this is almost a mystery.
Later researchers can only infer from clues. The most nonsensical thing is that there has always been a saying that Lu Xun peeked at Zhou Zuoren's wife taking a bath and caused the two to turn against each other, which is not worth arguing.
Most scholars believe that the reason for the brothers' discord is most likely because of Zhou Zuoren's wife, but it will certainly not be an obvious slander such as peeking at the bath.
Zhou Zuoren's Japanese wife Yu Tai Xinzi, originally a maid, but after arriving in China, life has become luxurious, in and out often have to hire a car, sick to spend a lot of money to hire a famous doctor to come to the door, Lu Xun once raised dissatisfaction, he said, earn money to use rickshaws to pull back, use cars to pull out, how to spend enough.
In addition, Zhou Zuoren's wife has a tough personality and is rude, but Zhou Zuoren's personality is somewhat cowardly, and he does not dare to argue with his wife.
So the discord between the two brothers is likely to be due to the contradiction caused by the accumulation of these family trifles.
After That, Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren embarked on different paths, with Lu Xun covering the coffin with the soul of the nation, but Zhou Zuoren became a traitor.
