How many women did Lu Xun have in his life? Who are Lu Xun’s lovers?
Speaking of Lu Xun, there is no doubt that Lu Xun was indeed a revolutionary fighter and a literary master in the Republic of China. Its style of writing is strong, and its style is detached. But although Lu Xun was a fighter, he was not Lu Sheng. We should know that no matter who is in the world, his first criterion is man, not God! Talking about Lu Xun’s women, many people are mistaken by the textbooks, only knowing that there is his student and wife Xu Guangping, and then some people know that Lu Xun has an original wife, Zhu An. But since ancient times, which talented person has not had several confidantes?
First, the first love Lu Qingu’s "wordless ending"
Lu Qingu was the first to enter into an engagement with Lu Xun. It was the summer and autumn of 1898, and Lu Xun’s mother took a fancy to Qin Gu, the eldest daughter of Lu Xun’s little uncle. Gu Qin and Lu Xun, when they were young, often read together and discussed ancient Chinese poetry. She was deeply impressed by Lu Xun, so when Lu Xun’s mother asked her advice, she threw herself into her aunt’s arms and said nothing, but she had a hundred wishes in her heart.
Lu Xun’s mother was very happy and immediately decided on a marriage. Unexpectedly, things happened suddenly. Lu Xun’s nanny’s mother has a distant niece, Zhu An, who has long wanted to introduce her to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun’s mother has booked a piano. The eldest mother gossiped in front of Lu Xun’s mother, saying that the combination of Lu Xun and Qin Gu was "offensive" and unlucky. Lu Xun’s mother was shaken. The next spring, she decided to arrange the marriage between Lu Xun and Zhu An.
Qin Gu’s father waited for the Zhou family to get married, but there was no information. Later, when he learned that Lu Xun had remarried, he had no choice but to betrothed Qin Gu to others. Maybe Qin Gu didn’t like this marriage, and maybe life wasn’t. Soon, Qin Gu fell ill and never got up again.
On her deathbed, Qin Gu held the nanny’s hand tightly and choked: "I have something on my mind that I must say before I die. It was Zhou Jialai who mentioned the kiss before, but then suddenly he didn’t mention it, and I don’t know why … … This incident is my lifelong regret, and I will never forget it until I die … …”
Qin Gu should be said to be Mr. Lu Xun’s "first love" when he was young. But somehow, this marriage was not mentioned in Lu Xun’s later works. Did Lu Xun forget it for the sake of following Ming’s career, or did he keep this beautiful feeling in his heart forever, or did they ever promise each other? Lu Xun must have his own difficulties, so he has nothing to say.
Second, the bleak life of the original wife Zhu An.
When Lu Xun was twenty-five years old, he was preparing to start his literary activities in Tokyo, Japan. Suddenly, he received letters from home urging him to return home. The letter said that his mother was very ill and wanted to meet her eldest son. When Lu Xun returned home anxiously, he realized that this was a scam.
It turned out that there was a rumor in his hometown that Lu Xun married a Japanese woman and gave birth to a child. He was seen walking in the streets of Tokyo with his wife and children. The people changed their ways to trick him into getting married. According to the old custom of "parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words", Lu Rui, Lu Xun’s mother, decided the marriage without Lu Xun’s consent.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xun was naturally angry, whether he was attached to Lu Qingu or had a beautiful face in a foreign country, but out of filial piety to his mother, he did not have an attack. On the second day of their marriage, Lu Xun didn’t go to the ancestral temple as usual. On the third day, while his family was not paying attention, he quietly ran away from home and went to Japan again. While Juan lived with her mother-in-law Lu Rui.
Perhaps Lu Xun’s first wife is also car-scrapping, a traditional good woman, that is: entering the Zhoujiamen, death is a Zhoujiagui. He is Lu Xun’s wife, which is recognized all over the world, but the protagonist Lu Xun doesn’t recognize it. In name, Zhu An has been widowed all his life. In fact, at least at this point, the original match defeated Lu Xun in ethics, although it was very sad. Lu Xun is an anti-feudal fighter, and of course he should be a revolutionary fighter. Arranged marriage is of course an ethical code in feudal society. It is feasible for civilians, but not for Lu Xun.
On June 29th, 1947, Zhu An died alone. I believe that if there is an afterlife, Zhu An will not go this way again.
Such tragedies were common in the old society. Perhaps because of his own experience, Lu wrote many articles about women’s rights, such as "Blessing", hoping that women in China would wake up … …
Third, the teacher-student relationship with Xu Guangping.
Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, the love between teachers and students, or that era, Lu Xun was Lu Xun from beginning to end.
Xu Guangping (1898 ~ 1968) was born in Fujian. In 1917, she studied in the preparatory course of Tianjin Zhili No.1 Women’s Normal School, served as the editor-in-chief of Wake the World Weekly, the journal of Tianjin Patriotic Comrades Association, and participated in the May 4th Movement. At the age of twenty-five, he was admitted to the Chinese Literature Department of Beijing Women’s Normal University and became a student of Lu Xun.
In January, 1927, Lu Xun went to Sun Yat-sen University as a teaching assistant and Guangzhou dialect translator, and soon married Lu Xun, who was seventeen years older than her. In 1929, she gave birth to a son, Zhou Haiying. Although this is the last ten years of Lu Xun’s life, "ten years together to share difficulties and dangers", we can’t help but say that it is a belated happiness.
Compared with Lu Xun, Hu Shi was "conservative" and had children with Jiang Dongxiu. Although Hu Shi was engaged to study in the United States, in addition to the sparks with Williams, the daughter of a professor at Cornell University, he also chased Chen Hengzhe, a talented woman from China who was also studying in the United States. Although the two romances were both under the external environment or internal moral consciousness, they had to end halfway, but they could not hurt their mother’s heart too much, which may also be his consideration.
But behind Lu Xun’s loveless marriage with Zhu An, he was willing to live this ascetic life, but in the depths of his subconscious, he did not give up his desire for the true ideal of love. So when Xu Guangping obviously took the initiative, they finally got together freely.
Fourth, with the female student Xu Xiansu, "The Story of Hair"
At the Women’s Normal University, Lu Xun met a young female student, Xu Xiansu, who was a classmate and good friend of Lu Xun’s cohabiting girlfriend Xu Guangping.
Lu Xun wrote "The Story of Hair" for her, and Cao Juren, a friend of Lu Xun, praised Sue as his "lover" in a biography about him. Xu Xiansu showed special concern for women in a very important part of Lu Xun’s life. But when Lu Xun left Beijing for the south, it was not Xu Xiansu, but her classmate and friend Xu Guangping.
Even on the way south, Lu Xun kept in touch with Xu Xiansu. Everywhere he went, there would be postcards reporting his whereabouts, while Lu Xun had been living with Xu Guangping for a long time. Why Lu Xun chose Xu Guangping is a mystery, at least no one has answered it.
After Lu Xun’s death, Xu Guangping wrote about his memoirs, except introducing Lu Xun’s diet and daily life, and left a lot of gaps in many important aspects. Some people analyzed the notes left by Xu Guangping, and realized that Xu Guangping actually had too much helplessness, and perhaps the taste of being a celebrity shadow was not good.
Five, with the female writer Xiao Hong hazy feelings.
Xiao Hong is a good family, but she is a young man with new ideas. Because of her dissatisfaction with feudal families and arranged marriages, she ran away from home when she was young. I lived with Xiao Jun in 1932, but ended up breaking up with Xiao Jun!
He became Lu Xun’s most loyal fan around 1934, and often came to visit his husband at Lu Xun’s house, sometimes even several times a day. One morning, she came and came back in the afternoon. Finally, I may feel that Xu Guangping’s position is unshakable. After all, with Lu Xun’s children, Xiao Hong had to go to Japan in 1936, and three years later she lived with Duanmu Xiaoliang and went to Hong Kong. Duanmu Xiaoliang was also a scholar and a romantic figure, and it was impossible to give Xiao Hong too much happiness. Finally, Xiao Hong died in Hong Kong after going through a rough road of her own choice, and died at the age of 31. … …
Sixth, the spiritual love with Mrs. Yamamoto of Japan
During Lu Xun’s stay in Shanghai, a good Japanese friend Uchiyama was a bookstore owner. He often went to Uchiyama Bookstore, but what he really went to was the back of the bookstore, where Yamamoto Chuzhi, a Japanese geisha, lived. Lu Xun’s letter to Mrs. Yamamoto is second only to Masuda’s among Japanese friends. For Masuda, he wrote to discuss academics or translation, while for Mrs. Yamamoto, he discussed life or emotion.
Once, Lu Xun wrote to Masuda that it was "a lonely thing" that Mrs. Yamamoto couldn’t come to Shanghai, but every letter to Mrs. Yamamoto would complain about "Shanghai loneliness", which was rare in other letters. Later, when Lu Xun died, Mrs. Yamamoto immediately lost her voice when she first heard his bad news. That was the man she used to be in loved one!
Seven, the subtle love affair with Ma Jue, the flower of Peking University.
According to textual research, Ma Jue, the most famous beauty queen in the history of Peking University, had a subtle affection with Ma Jue.
What must be explained here is that Lu Xun is not empathizing with others, or loving each other when he sees one, but I only take a ladle to drink when I am weak.
Lu Xun has always been cautious in dealing with personal feelings, but he was still caught by his old enemy. Lu Xun especially loves talents and likes to reward new literary talents, especially talented young women. Is Lu Xun in love with Ma Jue, a beautiful and talented woman? This question is not easy to answer, let alone to speculate for no reason.
But one thing is certain: Lu Xun likes this literary young woman with distinctive personality very much; What is certain is that Ma Jue, with great literary dreams and romantic feelings, also likes and worships her idol Lu Xun very much, even her secret love may not be known. If you have read Lu Xun’s Diary, you will find that there are broken files and missing places in the middle. Was this part destroyed or hidden by Lu Xun or later generations? Nowadays, it is hard to find out. Did this disappearing part of the diary record the secret passion of Lu Xun, a great literary master? I’m afraid all this is only known to the parties. But I prefer to believe that this has nothing to do with Lu Xun’s personality.
If there is any scandal between the two, it should be the result of Lu Xun’s old enemy’s embellishment and malicious attack.
Link after the article: Is the affection with my sister-in-law a grievance?
But the most puzzling thing is that Zhou Zuoren held a contemptuous attitude towards Lu Xun’s marriage choice. In his view, the cohabitation between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping was caused by eroticism, and it was an old literati’s act of concubinage. It is puzzling to think that Zhou Zuoren, who has always advocated freedom of personality and healthy morality, did not tolerate the life journey of free love at this time.
In fact, Zhou Zuoren, a great traitor, is a very sensible person in love between men and women. He knows that free love is the evolution of human beings. But why are you so harsh on Lu Xun? The author thinks that one is the resentment formed by Yu Taixin’s son, and the other is to consider the problem from Zhu An’s point of view and feel that Juan is too pitiful. The latter reason, the author thinks, is quite in line with his thinking. He once thought that love could not bring pain to others, otherwise, it would be immoral.
Let’s talk about another truth that the relationship between Zhou Zuoren and Lu Xun has deteriorated. In February 1919, Lu Xun sold his ancestral home in Shaoxing and moved his family to Beiping. Badaowan, a new residence, is a big quadrangle with "three entrances", which is high-open, spacious and bright. Considering the living habits of Yutaizi’s family, Lu Xun specially converted several houses in the backyard into Japanese format.
I didn’t expect Badaowan to become the king of Yutai Shinko. In life, she ostentatiously talks about ostentation and extravagance, spends money like water and has no plan. If the food doesn’t taste good, it will be withdrawn to the kitchen for redoing. She has only given birth to two children, and there are at least six or seven male and female servants employed by the whole family, not counting rickshaw drivers who take the children to school. In this regard, Zhou Zuoren at least acquiesced. All he wants is to reach out for food and clothes, and the peace of the desk in the "bitter rain Zhai", and nothing else is asked or heard.
But all this still can’t satisfy YuTaiXinZi. Her real goal is that only her own family can be accommodated in Badaowan. In this way, ten months after her third brother Zhou Jianren was driven away, she laid hands on Lu Xun.
I don’t know what she blew in one ear and out the other to Zhou Zuoren on the pillow, and what sewage poison saliva she spilled on Lu Xun, — — It is never possible for others to know about this — — All we know is that on this day, on July 19th, 1922, Zhou Zuoren suddenly held a letter in his hand, which read "Mr. Lu Xun" and gnashed his teeth: "Please don’t come to the back yard in the future!" Lu Xun was surprised and wanted to ask, "I want to ask after the invitation." Visible feather too letter son this bite how poison! In this way, Lu Xun was also expelled from Badaowan by Zhou Zuoren and his wife.
For this period of history, some Lu Xun researchers speculated that it was he who took a look at his sister-in-law’s bath that led to the disharmony between his brothers. However, according to Mr. Zhangchuandao, who lived in Badaowan guest room at that time, the house in the backyard of Badaowan had a trench outside the window and flowers planted, so people could not get close.
However, the author analyzes it with modern ideas, but has his own views. Let’s talk about it here. I thought that when Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren were studying in Tokyo, Japanese customs, general family bathing, men and women coming in and out, did not avoid each other. According to the above, it was common to contact the Zhou brothers who lived in the same hospital at that time and went in and out of each other’s residence. In this case, it was not Lu Xun’s fault to accidentally meet, and Lu Xun would never peek at his sister-in-law’s body! This week, Zhou Zuoren was too cruel to his brother.
