Lu Xun seems to be particularly mean and ungrateful. He is a famous cultural figure in modern times, but he can be said to be second to none. Throughout his life, he was outspoken and made enemies all over the world. Almost all his contacts are fierce, and the relationship between his wife and his brother will break down. He seems indifferent to his hometown in Shaoxing.
He/kloc-left home for school at the age of 0/8. After that, he successfully returned to his hometown to teach for two years in the Revolution of 1911, and once went back to sell his ancestral property. Besides, he never set foot in his hometown again in almost all his life. In his later years, he settled in neighboring Shanghai. It stands to reason that even if he doesn't go back to spend the rest of his life, he can "go home often", but he doesn't. Some people say that he doesn't even want to say that he is from Shaoxing.
Now in Shaoxing, eating Lu Xun's meal has everything to do with him. Shaoxing people joked that "the roots of the mud walls of Baicaoyuan are all banknotes", and the toilet paper used by Lu Xun should be enshrined if it can be found. But Lu Xun is learned and treats him as a human being. I thought that not only would he not win the favor of the hard-working villagers, but he would also "complain about others" in a thousand words.
I think it needs to be explained that just because Lu Xun never went home does not mean that he has no feelings for his hometown. It's just that this feeling is complicated. It can be summarized as follows: I love the culture and sages left in my hometown's ancient books, but the people and things in reality are a bit hateful, or a bit "sad".
From this point of view, no matter how complicated his subjective feelings for his hometown are, Shaoxing, the hometown of revenge, actually has the greatest influence on his life. His life began in Shaoxing, and his later glory could not be separated from the unique regional spirit of eastern Guangdong and the unique humanistic style of "old county sages".
Lu Xun was born and raised in Shaoxing. He didn't "run away from home" until he came of age in Shaoxing. His childhood relatives, teachers, playmates, the scenery of his hometown and the books he read all accompanied him throughout his life. From Dayu and Gou Jian, the King of Yue, to Lu You and Xu Wenchang, and then to Wang Siren and Zhu Shunshui, these rural sages also left a deep impression on him. He was later in Beijing and Shanghai. Although he is far away from home, he has been sorting out and compiling historical books and local chronicles written by Xiang Xian.
When we read his article, we shouted from our hometown. We can also find that he actually forgets Shaoxing every day. Shaoxing, known as the famous water town, its Wupeng boat, its Shaoxing wine, its herbarium, its three pools and the moon, the street view of Luzhen, the bridge of grandma's house, the market town in the south of the Yangtze River, the fun farmhouse in the village, the imaginary hotel, the lovely felt hat and the local social drama were all written by Lu Xun.
But from these places, we can probably see that Lu Xun's love and concern for Shaoxing, his hometown, mostly stays in the identity of "culture" and "sage".
In his later years, Lu Xun chose Shanghai as a "place to return to the bone", but he would never leave the leaves and return to Shaoxing to support the elderly. Apart from all kinds of situations, his hometown gave him too many bad memories.
While Lu Xun was in Shaoxing, the life in his hometown certainly gave him a lot of warmth and joy, but the big family life there also brought him too many wounds that could not be healed for a lifetime. His later cynicism, difficult to get along with, suspicious and harsh are closely related to this growing experience.
His family declined around the age of 10. Grandfather went to prison and his father died. As the eldest son of his eldest grandson, he had to face the helpless widowed mother and younger brother at home alone and face all the storms outside. After the decline of this family, the world is cold and human feelings are warm and cold, which has been destroying Lu Xun's body and mind. As he later described himself, "just like a wounded wolf, when it barks in the wilderness in the middle of the night, its tragic injury is mixed with anger and sadness." It was the stimulation of too many people in his hometown that made him realize that the emotional bond linked by blood is so fragile that it can't stand the impact of the wave of the times and the turbid waves of human nature.
Lu Xun doesn't even want to say that he is from Shaoxing. We read Zhou Zuoren's Memoirs of Tang Zhi, which wrote impressively, "Shaoxing people are very unpopular in Beijing, so many people refuse to admit that they are Shaoxing people." This is the case with Lu Xun. People asked him where he was born, and the answer was Zhejiang. ".He also directly said in his article that he hated the people there. For example, he said that an aunt asked him to take money from his family, and later it was reported that he stole money from his family; For example, when his own father died, the adults in the clan would not be sympathetic, and even if there was a coffin at the front door, the backyard would quietly hold a meeting to rob him of his property. He was angry with his relatives there; And only the poor, such as the leap soil, left him a little affection. He has seen them all become a "numb" group and feel desperate.
At this point, his hometown, in restaurants, Kong Yiji and other articles are very enlightening and profound, and even more sad.
Therefore, when Lu Xun can fly high, he can't wait to "run away from home" without looking back.
19 19 or so, once he was able to establish himself in Beijing, he immediately went home and sold his ancestral fields, and his family moved north, never to return. 1965438+On February 8, 2009, Lu Xun looked around for a house regardless of his illness, and finally built a warm nest in Badaowan in Beijing with the money sold by his hometown. The hostel is like a family. He mistook another place for his hometown. At this point, at least in the traces of real life, he is no longer officially associated with his hometown Shaoxing.
On New Year's Eve this year, he wrote in his diary, "Sacrificing ancestors at night, adding food at night, flowers will explode." We really don't know whether this "abandoned child" who tried to run away from home was happy or sad that night. The grand banquet will come to an end, even though there are many thorns ahead, we still have to move forward.
"I went to the west, as for the wild", I don't know how many people in life have never returned to their hometown once they set foot on the journey, and even cursed the place where they raised themselves in their hearts, mixed with love and hate. It is not special that Lu Xun does not go home. For Lu Xun in his later years, it is actually no different from the feelings of many of us. The dream of his hometown has always been in his heart, but he doesn't want to go back, and he can't.
Fortunately, there are gains and losses in everything. Lu Xun lost Shaoxing, but he became the best writer in modern China. And we will lose our hometown, maybe win a temporary house, but we have nothing in spirit.
20 18, 12, 12, in the evening, I talked in a hurry.
The fundamental reason why Lu Xun didn't return to his hometown in his later years was that he had already sold his ancestral home. Why do you want to go back to your hometown?
First of all, Lu Xun is not poor, and his income is considerable. Secondly, although Lu Xun's life belongs to all classes, it is still quite traditional in his bones. He bought a big yard in Beijing, and then settled all the three brothers' old mothers, Zhu An. Because he didn't have enough money to buy a house, he paid a third of it himself, and the two brothers didn't want to pay it. So he negotiated to sell his ancestral home, and then borrowed some money to buy a quadrangle in Beijing.
Beyond the point, the yard is also the cause of discord between brothers.
As for Zhu An, although Lu Xun did not love Zhu An, when Lu Xun was alive, he was good to Zhu An economically! If divorced from Zhu An, Zhu An could not live at all, so Lu Xun kept Zhu An. Even though he fell out with his brother Zhou Zuoren and moved out of the big yard in Beijing, Lu Xun bought a small yard outside to settle his mother and Zhu An. Zhu An's hardships lost his financial resources after Lu Xun's death.
Lu Xun wrote a lot about his hometown in Flowers in the Morning, but it was not out of his feelings for his hometown, but his feelings for his childhood. As we can see from the title, he is concerned with time rather than place. In his later years, he simply stopped going back to his hometown and mentioned Shaoxing, and his tone was often unfriendly. Self-mockery and real alienation.
Why is Lu Xun's affection for his hometown so weak? The reason why I feel that there is a hometown here is also because of Lu Xun's personality.
First of all, Lu Xun left with a grudge against his hometown.
His grandfather Zhou was a scholar in Qing Dynasty. He used to be a magistrate in Jishi Shu, imperial academy, and a cabinet secretary in Jinxi County, Jiangxi Province. Later, he was involved in a bribery case in the imperial examination hall and was sentenced to beheading and invigilation. Although there is no real implementation, Zhou Jia's way is down. Lu Xun wrote in "Scream, Preface":
"Who is well-off but in trouble? I think, on this road, I can probably see the true face of the world; I want to go to K school, as if I want to take a different road, escape from different places and seek different people. My mother didn't have the law, so she set up an eight-dollar Sichuan pension, saying it was for me. But it is natural to cry easily, because it was the correct way to study and take exams at that time. The so-called westernization is considered as a social despairing person, who has to sell his soul to the devil and is doubly ridiculed and rejected ... "
In fact, many people may have experienced Lu Xun's situation. His hometown is not completely mild. On the contrary, it is often fierce. Because we know each other well and are comparable to each other, it is easier to meet people who hate people and laugh at people who don't hate people. In addition, when you are in your hometown, you may not have developed yet, so the weakest period in your life is more likely to be crushed by various personnel and leave unpleasant memories.
However, even so, most people and their hometown are still bitter and resentful. People don't think mom is ugly, and dogs don't think their families are poor. They are all places of origin and cannot be easily abandoned. The same is true in hometown, and even people often exaggerate praise in front of outsiders. As a unique capital, we cannot lag behind. Lu Xun, on the other hand, has a knife-like clarity, also known as "I forgive no one." He once said: "I love my weeds, but I still want to get up from the ground and love my weeds with me, but I hate the ground decorated with weeds." The fire ran underground and rushed; Once the lava is ejected, it will burn all the weeds and trees, so it will not rot. But I am calm and happy. I can laugh, I can sing. " For him, warmth always gives way to anger, so it is not surprising that he has this attitude towards his hometown.
In many of Lu Xun's works, there are descriptions of hometown, such as social drama and hometown. Like all China people, he has deep feelings for his hometown, but at the same time he is afraid and wary of Shaoxing, and shows an indifferent and isolated attitude towards his hometown. Lu Xun left Shaoxing for the last time at the end of 19 19 until 1936, and he never returned to his hometown in the last seventeen years of his life.
Lu Xun's feelings for his hometown and hometown people are very complicated, including hatred. In addition to his antipathy to the reputation of Shaoxing touts and knife and pencil collectors, there is also a huge shadow caused by his painful juvenile experience. But he never went back to his hometown in his later years, which may contain secrets.
First of all, the reason why Lu Xun didn't return to Shaoxing in his later years was related to his wife Zhu An. Zhu An is also a Shaoxing native, with a rich family and noble family background. As we all know, Lu Xun's marriage was a failure and painful. Zhu An is not only three years older than Lu Xun, but also his figure and appearance are beyond his acceptable bottom line, leaving him in a desperate situation. The two are passers-by, in name only. Many people are ashamed that Lu Xun doesn't like his wife Zhu An, saying that Zhu An is a woman of the old times, illiterate, with little feet, and has no ideal interests with Lu Xun, and so on. But I think the most fundamental thing is that Zhu An is not beautiful and lacks the minimum charm of women. Zhu An's external conditions were not unknown to Lu Xun before his marriage, but he and Zhu An did not know each other. Before getting married, he may still have illusions that finding a wife from his mother's eyes should be acceptable to him, but he didn't expect to see Zhu An shriveled up on his wedding night, with a yellow face, a pointed chin, thin lips, a broad forehead and some hypoplasia. The distress and resentment in Lu Xun's heart can be imagined. As long as the 26-year-old groom has a little affection for his wife, he will not leave his wife and mother on the fourth day of their wedding and go to the ocean with his second brother Zhou Zuoren to return to Japan. Lu Xun paid little attention to his wife Zhu An. If he had the chance to avoid a painful marriage, he would definitely flee his hometown. Imagine: Lu Xun's relatives and friends, classmates' hometown, Zhu An's maiden relatives, etc. They are all in Shaoxing. Suppose Lu Xun goes back, and he or his relatives and friends in Zhu An ask about his family and Zhu An. With Lu Xun's self-esteem, this embarrassing topic is really difficult to face.
Another reason why Lu Xun did not return to Shaoxing in his later years was related to his family and brothers. When Lu Xun was thirteen, his grandfather Zhou was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination. Since then, my father has been ill for a long time and his family has rapidly declined. As a teenager, Lu Xun often went to pharmacies and pawn shops. As a teenager, Lu Xun once lived in a state of tension, anxiety and fear. What he feels is not only the psychological gap and economic pressure brought about by life changes, but also the mental depression. The contempt of acquaintances and even clansmen has a great influence on Lu Xun's psychology.
It can be seen that Lu Xun's failure to return to Shaoxing in his later years has complicated personal emotional factors.
Lu Xun must love Shaoxing and his hometown, and there is nothing wrong with love and hatred. Because the vast majority of Ningbo people agree with Shaoxing, Ningshao homology, Ningshao plain, Ningshao commercial group and Shanghai Ningshao shipping company, the relationship between the two places is friendly, independent and cooperative. In fact, such a close relationship should be the same between relatives. Too close understanding can lead to emotional entanglements ... It can be said that many people with Yu Ci in Ningbo are not very interested in Shaoxing people, hehe, but it can't be said that people with Yu Ci don't like Shaoxing because they belong to Shaoxing and know each other better.
Shaoxing became a master, the so-called knife and pencil official, and Lu Xun's family fell halfway because of fraud in the examination room, and never recovered. In order to revive the family and get ahead, the Zhou brothers went to Japan and eventually became everyone. Rural people are afraid of officials, so Lu Xun will go to Beijing to be an official to show them (the Ministry of Education is also an official). Even the ancestral home has been sold, which means that it has been uprooted and does not want to go back. Because it's sad.
In his reply to the editor of Drama Weekly, Mr. Lu Xun said: "Almost all China people are great heroes who love their hometown and ridicule other places. Ah Q also has this temper." Lu Xun, like others, should have deep feelings for his hometown. In many of his later essays, he always recalled his life in Shaoxing as a teenager. These articles mainly focus on Morning Flowers, but at the same time, he is afraid and wary of Shaoxing, showing an indifferent and isolated attitude towards his hometown. The most obvious example is 19 19, when Lu Xun left Shaoxing for the last time. Until 1936, he never returned to his hometown for the last seventeen years of his life. Lu Xun and Xu Guangping have lived in Shanghai since 1927 10. Shanghai is about 140 km from Shaoxing. This distance is not enough to justify Lu Xun's not going back to Shaoxing, even when the traffic is underdeveloped.
Lu Xun was emotionally alienated from his hometown, and even refused to say that he was from Shaoxing. In addition to the reputation of Shaoxing tout and a knife and pencil collector, his painful teenage experience also left him with a huge shadow, which made him feel disgusted with his hometown and hometown people. But he never went back to his hometown in his later years, which may contain secrets.
First of all, I think the reason why Lu Xun didn't return to Shaoxing in his later years was related to his wife Zhu An. Zhu An is also a Shaoxing native, with a rich family and noble family background. She is the granddaughter of Lu Xun's own aunt Yutian, and the matchmaker is Zhou Yutian's daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law and Lu Xun's mother have a good relationship.
As we all know, Lu Xun's marriage was a failure and painful. Zhu An is not only three years older than Lu Xun, but also his figure and appearance are beyond his acceptable bottom line, leaving him in a desperate situation. The two are passers-by, in name only. Many people are ashamed that Lu Xun doesn't like his wife Zhu An, saying that Zhu An is a woman of the old times, illiterate, with little feet, and has no ideal interests with Lu Xun, and so on. But I think the most fundamental thing is that Zhu An is not beautiful and lacks the minimum charm of women. Zhu An's external conditions were not unknown to Lu Xun before his marriage, but he and Zhu An did not know each other. Before getting married, he may still have illusions that finding a wife from his mother's eyes should be acceptable to him, but he didn't expect to see Zhu An shriveled up on his wedding night, with a yellow face, a pointed chin, thin lips, a broad forehead and some hypoplasia. The distress and resentment in Lu Xun's heart can be imagined. As long as the 26-year-old groom has a little affection for his wife, he will not leave his wife and mother on the fourth day of their wedding and go to the ocean with his second brother Zhou Zuoren to return to Japan.
After returning from Japan, in September 19 10, Lu Xun returned to Shaoxing to be a teacher and inspector in Ren Zhongxue. At this time, his state is: giving blue shirts to prisoners, drinking and smoking, depressed and exhausted, and his inner pain and depression can be imagined. He lived in the school dormitory for a long time. Although it is not far from home and only a few minutes' walk, Lu Xun only goes home once a week, mainly to get some books and clothes and visit his mother, and pays little attention to his wife Zhu An. Once he has the chance to avoid a painful marriage, he will definitely flee his hometown. Sure enough, 19 12 In February, he left his hometown for the second time at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, director of education of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China.
After that, Lu Xun finally fell in love with Xu Guangping in Beijing, and after many twists and turns, he lived together in Shanghai on 1927 10.
Lu Xun never accepted Zhu An emotionally. This poor woman has been widowed for Lu Xun all her life. As far as their marriage is concerned, there is nothing wrong with Zhu An, and we don't care about right or wrong. The problem is that Shaoxing not only contributed to Lu Xun's nightmare painful marriage, but also made him and his wife's hometown, which is undoubtedly a sad place in Lu Xun's emotional life. Lu Xun, who left his hometown for another family, faced it, and the wisest choice was to avoid it. Imagine: Lu Xun's relatives and friends, classmates' hometown, Zhu An's maiden relatives, etc. They are all in Shaoxing. Suppose Lu Xun goes back, and he or his relatives and friends in Zhu An ask about his family and Zhu An. With Lu Xun's self-esteem, this embarrassing topic is really difficult to face.
Another reason why Lu Xun didn't return to Shaoxing in his later years, I think it has something to do with his family and brothers.
When Lu Xun was thirteen, his grandfather Zhou was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination. Since then, my father has been ill for a long time and his family has rapidly declined. As a teenager, Lu Xun often went to pharmacies and pawn shops. In "Scream from the preface", he said: "I have been in and out of high-quality shops and pharmacies for more than four years, almost every day ... I sent clothes or jewelry from a counter twice as high, took money contemptuously, and then went to the counter at the same height to buy medicine for my father who had been ill for a long time ... Is there anyone with a well-off family in trouble? I guess so. As a teenager, Lu Xun once lived in a state of tension, anxiety and fear. What he feels is not only the psychological gap and economic pressure brought about by life changes, but also the mental depression. Please pay attention to this sentence: "I took money in the insult ..." I thought that it was not only the guys in the quality store who made Lu Xun feel insulted, but also countless acquaintances and even relatives of the same family. After his father died, once the family got together to redistribute the house, relatives bullied Lu Xun's family and wanted to give them the rotten house. As the eldest grandson of one room, Lu Xun said that his grandfather was still in prison and refused to sign, which caused the harsh voice of his elders. Zhou Zuoren recorded this in Lu Xun's Youth: "The year before Lu Xun went to Nanjing, he was unfairly oppressed by his elders about ... meeting his family. ..... Lu Xun is the home of intellectuals, which is represented by grandfather's uncle Ling Niangong. Some aspects of this meeting are not in Fang Zhixing's interest. Lu Xun said he would ask grandpa, but refused to sign it. His grandparents pushed him even harder. Of course, this word is still unsigned, but it has a great influence on Lu Xun. "
19 191in early February, Shaoxing's old house was sold by Xintaimen and Lianhe, and Lu Xun took his mother Zhu An and Zhou Bei. At the beginning of the year, he mentioned this in a letter to Xu Shoushang: "Shao's house is forced by the people and must be sold next year, so he plans to live in Beijing as soon as possible, and there is no longer the idea of crossing the border. Recently, the relationship with Shaoxing has become worse and worse, and I don't know why. " (Complete Works of Lu Xun 1 1 Vol. 358) The old house in Shaoxing was sold because it was "forced by the clansmen and had to be sold", which is likely to be something unpleasant with the clansmen. Lu Xun's new house is all his relatives, but he has become indifferent and snobbish because of family changes, which can't help but make sensitive men have an emotional hatred for their hometown people. I sold my new Taimen Zhouzhai, took my mother, wife Juan and my third brother to Beijing, and lived in Badaowan with my second brother Zhou Zuoren. He has little emotional care and attachment in Shaoxing, so there is no reason to go back to Shaoxing.
It can be seen that Lu Xun's failure to return to Shaoxing in his later years has complicated personal emotional factors.
Doesn't the editor of this kind of question find it funny? Such questions are as ridiculous as experts commenting on celebrity calligraphy and painting. Then let me ask you, why did Lu Xun have to go back to Shaoxing? Can't he have an aversion to his hometown? He had a feeling of falling in the family since he was a child, and later faced the death of his father when he was young. I think Lu Xun was serious about studying medicine. After all, before, the Zhou family in Shaoxing was still a very prestigious Hanlin family. This resonance. Now, it is estimated that people who can have similar experiences with Lu Xun will probably return to China in a golden suit, which is awesome. This is the difference. I love what I love and I hate what I hate. This is Lu Xun's character. Although his income in Beijing at that time is now a "local tyrant". In my later years, I was obsessed with watching movies. Compared with the social environment at that time, life was a luxury. However, China is one from Qu Yuan to two from Lu Xun, and three have not yet appeared. Lu Xun's greatness can be compared with Qu Yuan's.
Lu Xun is from Shaoxing and China. I am worried about the country, the future of the country and the people's thoughts. How can I return to my hometown in my old age (by the way, Lu Xun was only 55 when he died, so there is no such thing as "old age"). Besides Shaoxing and Xiamen, Lu Xun has lived in China, and his working, living and medical conditions are better and more convenient than those in other big cities.
I like a sentence very much. If you still miss a place, it is because your youth is buried there or you can't forget a person there. Lu Xun did not return to Shaoxing in his later years. Maybe Shaoxing, as a childhood playmate, has nothing to miss. The place of childhood has changed, becoming unfamiliar and disliked. What can I talk about when I meet friends when I go back? Maybe all that remains is a simple greeting. Youth that is hard to get. And it's even more embarrassing to go back because the relationship is not very good. My hometown .. If my parents are still alive, it is my hometown that I will go back every year. If parents are away, hometown is just a beautiful memory.
