In feudal China, many habits were popular, including the bad habit of wrapping women's feet, which tormented thousands of Chinese women. Later, it was because Dr. Sun Yat-sen saw the pain of his sister's foot binding when he was a child, and he was determined to abolish bad habits when he grew up, so that there was the liberation of women's feet today. At that time, there was a woman who had no love, no sex and no queen in her life, miserable and miserable, and the cause of everything was only that when she was young, her mother wrapped her feet according to tradition. The woman's name was Juan.
People may be relatively unfamiliar with Zhu An, but her husband Lu Xun is almost unknown to everyone. Mr. Lu Xun had two wives in his life, the legal wife was Xu Guangping, who married for the second time, and the other wife was Zhu An, the wife who was married by his parents in the countryside when he was young, and could be regarded as Lu Xun's original wife. Zhu An was a woman with traditional duties, and Lu Xun was a new youth in the new era at that time, with different ideas and different concepts, which was destined to lead to a life that the two would not live in harmony.
Zhu An, born in 1878 in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, in that era when a woman was talentless and virtuous, Juan only knew a few words. Although the family is not particularly wealthy, the education of the family from a young age has made Juan understand things in general, gentle and polite, and very principled. Because Lu Xun was the eldest son in the family, after Lu Xun's father died, his mother has been worried about Lu Xun's marriage, and she likes Zhu An's traditional character. So Lu Xun's mother, without Lu Xun's consent, went directly to the Zhu family to propose to her relatives, resulting in two young people who did not know each other at all, because the parents of both sides decided, which determined the fate of Juan's life, and this marriage brought lifelong pain to both Juan and Lu Xun.
After Lu Xun went abroad to study for 6 years, he was tricked by his mother from Japan back to his hometown to get married. Everything about the wedding was carried out according to the tedious rituals of the old society. Everyone knows that Lu Xun is a new figure, and such an old-fashioned wedding is estimated to make Lu Xun reject it, so everyone has already thought of countermeasures. But what everyone did not expect was that everything was normal, Lu Xun put on a fake braid for himself, put on a new dress from head to toe, and when the ceremony was held, the emcee asked Lu Xun to do what he wanted.
From the moment Lu Xun asked her to put her foot down, Juan knew that her fiancé was a new figure. Therefore, he specially wore a pair of large shoes and stuffed a lot of cotton in them, hoping to get the favor of his fiancé. But when getting off the palanquin, the foot first tried to step on the ground, and because the palanquin had some height, the shoes slipped off uncontrollably. A small foot that was common to women at that time was exposed. Lu Xun did not say anything, but after the marriage, he slept in the study all the time, and on the 3rd day he ran away from home and returned to Japan. Lu Xun also considered divorce, but the woman who was repaired in that era was extremely miserable, so he gave up this idea, but they were still like passers-by.
Later, Lu Xun and his brother decided to move against each other, and he asked Juan for advice, asking Zhu An whether he wanted to go back to his mother's house or follow along, and at that time he firmly expressed his willingness to follow Mr. Zhu. Later, Lu Xun found his confidant, that is, his second wife Xu Guangping. Before that, Juan knew that Lu Xun did not like herself, but she always hoped that she could live in Lu Xun's heart little by little, and now Xu Guangping's arrival made Zhu An despair, but she always regarded Xu Guangping as a sister, and always took care of Xu Guangping and Lu Xun's son as her own child.
Then Mr. Lu Xun died, Zhu An has been taking care of Lu Xun's mother, there are many people in the society who want to donate funds to fund them, of course, in return, Zhu An needs to provide Mr. Lu Xun's last works. With these bricks he never took a penny, he would rather suffer than easily accept gifts from others, including Lu Xun's brother Zhou Zuoren, who gave them some money on a monthly basis, and later Juan also refused, because he knew that Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren could not get along. Zhu An was a principled and skeletal woman, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Xun's former residence and relics in Beijing were completely preserved.
For Zhu An, Lu Xun said to his friends many times: "She is my mother's wife, not my wife, this is a gift from my mother, I only have an obligation to support, love is something I don't know." "Such a painful marriage is a devastating shock to both parties. At the end of the story, Juan comes alone, walks alone, she died without a person around, she lived in this world for 69 spring and autumn, of which loneliness occupies more than 40 long years.
