One reason why Zhou Zuo wants to marry Yukio Hatoyama is that his family of origin doesn't care about him. He found love in nobuko. He was moved by Yukio Hatoyama, so he decided to marry Nobuko. Another reason is that he doesn't want to return to China and wants to settle in Japan.
Zhou Zuoren has a very good impression of Tokyo, Japan. He called Tokyo his second hometown. Tokyo is not only a prosperous and beautiful big city, but also the landlord and police are very kind to Zhou Zuoren, and he doesn't feel bullied by foreigners. Shaoxing, Zhou Zuoren's hometown, was a small county town at that time, which was very remote and backward. Everyone wants to settle in a big city, and Zhou Zuoren is no exception.
In addition, Zhou Zuoren has a bad impression of being born in a famous family. Not only does his family not love him, but also his grandfather is very hard on him. Zhou Zuoren's mother gave birth to five children (two of whom died in childhood). Zhou Zuoren was raised by his stepgrandmother, and of course he spent more time with his grandfather.
Zhou Zuoren's grandfather Zhou Fuqing is a grumpy old man. Zhou Fuqing is very bad to Zhou Zuoren. Zhou Fuqing was jailed for taking bribes in the imperial examination hall. He asked his aunt Pan Shi to accompany Zhou Zuoren to prison. Of course, accompanying him to prison is not sitting in prison together, but Mrs. Pan and Zhou Zuoren live together in the flower archway and visit him every two or three days.
After Zhou Fuqing came home from prison, Zhou Zuoren's life was even more difficult. Zhou Fuqing asked Zhou Zuoren, a teenager, to wear a gown and go to the vegetable market to buy his favorite dishes. At that time, wearing a gown to buy food in the market was just like wearing a suit and tie to buy food in the market now, just like playing with monkeys, which was very strange. It was still very hot at that time, so it was really a chore to wear a gown to the market to buy food.
Not counting this, Zhou Fuqing asked Zhou Zuoren to go to the countryside to collect rent. This way of treating people is not suitable for Zhou Zuoren, and it is even more troublesome to meet a fierce and difficult tenant farmer. Zhou Zuoren is a scholar, and it is really hard to collect rent.
Zhou Zuoren, who has a bad impression on his hometown, family and relatives, certainly wants to settle in Tokyo, Japan. At that time, he was already in his twenties. Of course, he wants to marry a daughter-in-law and settle down.
But he is a foreigner, a lady of a noble family. Who will marry him? One is that I don't know the details, and the other is that I don't know if he has a wife in his hometown. If he returns to China, his wife will either stay in Japan and live apart. His wife will either go back to China with him, stay away from her relatives and have different living habits.
Noble family naturally don't want to marry Zhou Zuoren. Zhou Zuoren wanted to marry a poor girl, and Yu Taixin took good care of him, so he married Yu Taixin.
After the marriage, Zhou Zuoren wrote to Lu Xun, saying that he wanted to go to Japan to learn French. Lu Xun wants Zhou Zuoren to go back to work and support his family with him. But Lu Xun is a wise man. Instead of persuading Zhou Zuoren to return to China, he told Zhou Zuoren that the fields at home had been sold out and there was no money for him to study.
(Zhou Zuoren's study in Japan was at public expense, and it was paid by the Great Qing Dynasty. Why does he use his family to pay the bill? Or Zhou Zuoren's wife needs money from home while studying abroad, or he is a young master, and the living expenses given by Qing are too small for him to spend, so he needs to give some pocket money to his family. )
Zhou Zuoren was helpless and returned to China with his Japanese wife.
The economy is a big problem, and it is more useful to say it than to convince people with reason. Zhou Zuoren was troubled by economic problems and could not settle in Japan.
