Among the literati in the Republic of China, Lu Xun and Hu Shi are undoubtedly two completely different types of people.
Mr. Lu Xun spent his whole life pointing fingers at thousands of people, suspicious, credulous, angry and extremely bitter. He has spent his whole life in the universe, and he has been cursing.
Mr. Hu Shi, who is humble and kind, will not easily embarrass others anyway. As for dismantling scaffolding in public, it is even harder for him.
For Hu Shi, Lu Xun said this when evaluating him: Mr. Shi meant to close the door tightly, and a small note was posted on the door: "There are no weapons in it, please don't doubt it." This can naturally be true, but some people-at least people like me-sometimes have to think with their heads tilted.
I don't know why, I can't help laughing when I see Lu Xun's teasing and implicit comments.
Hu Shi never publicly scolded Lu Xun. Even when Lu Xun publicly criticized him many times, he pretended as if nothing had happened and never responded. After Lu Xun's death, he also took the initiative to refute and defend Lu Xun in the face of his detractors.
For Lu Xun, the ultimate goal of life is to live well. For Hu Shi, the ultimate in life is kindness.
02
If we have to find some similarities between Lu Xun and Hu Shi, two people with different personalities, at least two things are the same.
First, they are all leaders of the New Culture Movement.
Second, they all accepted the old feudal marriage arranged by their mothers.
03
Mr. Lu Xun is a very filial man, but his filial piety is temporary, but he has suffered his wife all his life.
Lu Xun's wife, named Zhu An, is a gentle, kind, tolerant and kind old-fashioned woman with little feet and good manners. Although Lu Xun and she are only husband and wife, Zhu An has served Lu Xun's mother all her life.
1906, 26-year-old Lu Xun was tricked back to China by his mother pretending to be ill and married a woman three years older than her. This woman is Zhu An.
I heard that Lu Xun likes big feet, so Zhu An specially wore a pair of big shoes with a lot of cotton stuffed in them on her wedding day. Unexpectedly, when I got off the sedan chair, it was too high, and Zhu An's shoes fell off, revealing a three-inch golden lotus foot representing the old characteristics.
Losing your shoes when you get married is a bad omen. This seems to indicate the misfortune of Zhu An in his later years.
On the wedding day, Lu Xun was very obedient, and he did whatever the MC asked him to do, which surprised everyone and made him abnormal.
On their wedding day, Lu Xun and Zhu An met for the first time. What caught Lu Xun's eye was a simple girl. Her yellow and white face, pointed chin and thin lips made her mouth look slightly bigger and her broad forehead looked slightly bald. She is a relative of Lu Xun's own uncle, Mrs. Zhou Yutian. She seems to have a very speculative talk with Lu Xun's mother on weekdays, and her relatives call her "An Gu".
After the marriage, Lu Xun rarely told outsiders about his married life with Zhu An, but said such a sad word to his good friend Xu Shoushang: She was a gift from my mother, and I can only take good care of her. Love is something I don't know.
Lu Xun's confession is famous and quoted by many people, which proves that he really has no feelings for Juan and only has the obligation to support him.
Unfortunately, as a "gift", Zhu An himself didn't realize it. On the fourth day after marriage, Lu Xun took his second brother Zhou Zuoren to Japan and left the woman his mother imposed on him. No one mentioned how Zhu An survived these three or four days of marriage. I wonder if she is still sitting in the new house? Or while crying, listen to those who have experienced it and teach her how to get through it slowly?
Maybe at that moment, she felt like a snail. As long as she crawls slowly and cooks slowly, she can always wait until Master Zhou changes his mind. Unfortunately, Zhu An didn't wait until this day to his death.

From 1927 to 10, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping lived in Shanghai and began to live together.
This year, Lu Xun was 46 years old and Xu Guangping was 28 years old.
The love affair between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping made Zhu An lose hope. I don't know how the poor woman reacted when she heard the news. Nobody noticed her at that time. When people mention Mrs. Lu Xun, they think of a woman named Zhu An.
Lu Xun's life was both great and loving, selfish and heartless. For Zhu An, a woman he doesn't love at all, he has never given her love and warmth all his life. All I can give is Mrs. Zhou's title and living support within her power.
1936, Lu Xun died in Shanghai.
1944, Zhu An, who lived in poverty, accepted Zhou Zuoren's suggestion and sold Lu Xun's books. After learning this news, progressives in Shanghai's cultural circles are very anxious. Xu Guangping and Neishan not only wrote letters to stop them, but also suggested that Tang Tao and Liu Zhemin go to Beijing to explain and dissuade them.
In front of the representative who came to dissuade her from selling Lu Xun's relics, Zhu An, a woman with bad karma, uttered a sad sentence:
You always say that Lu Xun's relics should be preserved and preserved! I am also a relic of Lu Xun, you have to save me!
05
Hu Shi, like Lu Xun, accepted arranged marriage out of filial piety to his mother.
Just different from Lu Xun, his marriage with his wife Jiang Dongxiu is called one of the "Seven Wonders of the Republic of China", as Zhang Ailing said: "They are a rare model of happiness in old-fashioned marriage."
Hu Shi's wife, Jiang Dongxiu, is a lovely girl of this ancient family. She is ugly, uneducated, short-footed, quick-tempered, strict in playing mahjong, and has a vivid image of a "tigress". However, it is such a woman who turned the famous Hu Shizhi into a docile cat. Jiang Dongxiu's strength is obvious.
Hu Shi lost his father at the age of three and was raised by his mother alone. So he was very filial to his mother and didn't dare to resist at all. /kloc-When he was 0/3 years old, Hu Shi was going to study in Shanghai. Before he left, his mother engaged him to Jiang Dongxiu. Although Hu Shi was not interested in this marriage, he was filial to his mother and acquiesced.
19 18, 27-year-old Hu Shi returned to his hometown in Anhui under the repeated persecution of his mother's letter. This winter, he married Jiang Dongxiu.
On the same day, Hu Shi posted such a couplet on the door of the new house: 30 nights in the moonlight, 27 years for the old groom.
In Anhui where early marriage is prevalent, 27-year-old Hu Shi is the old groom, and Jiang Dongxiu, who is one year older than Hu Shi, is naturally the old bride.
06
Hu Shi's marriage life is not peaceful, but magnificent and turbulent.
His gossip girlfriend, from wearing a secluded path down the stream to Chen Hengzhe who wrote more than 40 letters in half a year, from the beauty Cao in the smoky cave to the romantic Xu Fang in Shanghai, and Lu Xiaoman, the wife of Dewey, one of the four talented women in the Republic of China, are all beautiful women.
These women, any one of them, regardless of talent, accomplishment, knowledge, temperament, face value and taste, can throw eight streets in Jiang Dongxiu. Among them, our cousin Cao is the most prominent.
1923, Hu Shi fell in love with Cao, who came to Hangzhou to recuperate, and kept his love. After returning to Beijing, Jiang Dongxiu questioned Hu Shi on this matter. Hu Shi is guilty and timid and refuses to admit it. After the incident was exposed, he clamored for a divorce.
Jiang Dongxiu, the tiger, faced Hu Shi, the rabbit, said that he wanted to push, put the kitchen knife and scissors together, threatened to kill two sons, and pretended that you dared to divorce. My mother dared to fight with you, so that Hu Shi quickly recognized the coward and never dared to mention divorce again.

Naturally, Hu Shizhi can grow old with an old woman like Jiang Dongxiu, not only because of his kindness, but also because of Jiang Dongxiu.
Although Jiang Dongxiu is provocative, she is not ignorant and willful. Apart from her birthright, she still understands Hu Shi very well. She interfered with Hu Shi's academic research and political career. On the contrary, at an appropriate time, she also advised Hu Shi like a wife. Although Hu Shi did not adopt it later, she was not angry.
In life, Jiang Dongxiu is not as boring as an old-fashioned woman. On the contrary, she also has her own hobbies. Like playing cards.
Besides serving Hu Shi's life, Jiang Dongxiu often amused himself by playing cards. She always wins at cards, and somehow. The money she won at the mahjong table is also one of Hu's regular income. Later, when Hu Shi was the dean of research in Taiwan Province Province, Mrs. Hu often invited friends to play cards at home, and Hu Shi never intervened. Sometimes, when there are four vacancies, she even asks Hu Shi to be a corner.
As the dean, Hu Shi, in order to keep the good tradition that the former dean (Cai Yuanpei) stipulated that playing cards in public houses was not allowed, once said to his secretary, please help me buy a house for my wife, because my wife has many friends who play mahjong and it is not convenient to play cards in public houses. It can be seen that Hu Shi is quite considerate to his wife.
Surprisingly, Jiang Dongxiu's other hobby is reading martial arts novels, and Jin Yong's works are well known. Probably, this has something to do with her power-driven personality.
08
1975, Jiang Dongxiu died in Taiwan Province at the age of 85.
At that time, it was 13 years since her husband Hu Shi died.
Unparalleled love is often the most affectionate!
