The love conflict between Zijun and Juansheng in Lu Xun's novel "Sorrow".

"Sorrow" is Mr. Lu Xun's only love novel. It has been ten years since I first read it, but it still has a rich aroma that is as volatile as mellow wine, and is endlessly memorable. What makes me so fascinated by the plot of "Sorrow"? The secret will be explained to you below. Before answering your question, I need to quote a sentence from Mr. Lu Xun as the center of this question. That is a very beautiful saying that Mr. Lu Xun said in his speech in "What Happened to Nora" - "The greatest pain in life is to wake up from a dream and have no way to go." First, Juansheng is a realistic person ? In the novel, Shi Juansheng plays the role of a civil servant. It can be seen from this that his background is not outstanding. Zijun developed a passion for literature and they came together and began an ignorant love life. Where should we analyze the reality of Juansheng? Of course, let’s look at some details of Tong Zijun’s love life. What I want to analyze is the "material and spiritual friction" in their emotional life. Two things that illustrate this material and spiritual friction are conflicts over keeping pets and eating. After all, Zijun is a woman in her prime, and she also possesses some maternal characteristics unique to women. Keeping pets in her life has become her spiritual sustenance. However, we can see that Juansheng is unhappy and he contains a rational attitude towards this issue. Later, diet also became the cause of some conflicts that made Juansheng very dissatisfied. Because Juansheng still hoped that Zijun could achieve the abilities of a woman in life, but Zijun let her down. This is "the inevitable contradiction of love in the face of bread." To sum up, it can be seen that Juansheng is a realistic scholar, not a sage. Second, is the love between them real? Before analyzing this problem, we might as well think about it in reverse. Is their love unreal? We can follow the lead from the beginning to the end of their love and see what the process is like in the middle. Appreciate each other → Juansheng confesses → live together → conflict in life → Juansheng neglects his duties → intensification of conflicts → relationship breakdown → looking for Zijun → falling into confession. From this we can easily see that this is a love of flesh and blood, very real! One of the details is very touching. Just from this detail in the novel, it is not difficult to tell that this is a poignant and true love. That was after Zijun left Juansheng. Juansheng returned to his residence and saw Zijun gathering vegetables, flour and copper coins for him, and silently handed over everything in life to Juansheng! What a sad and silent farewell! Third, the tragedy of the love between Zijun and Juansheng. In fact, many seniors have already given us very sophisticated explanations about the ending of Zijun and Juansheng's love tragedy. But I want to say here that love has a different positioning in everyone's heart, which leads to different opinions for me in the novel! Let us temporarily abandon Mr. Lu Xun’s intention to criticize the darkness of society for harming love in the novel, and dissect this poignant love tragedy from the soul and story. In fact, at this time we can use "The greatest pain in life is to wake up from a dream and have no way to go" to cut into this tragedy. The whole story is like this. Zijun represents a dream in Juansheng's heart, which was when he fell in love with Zijun. However, when conflicts came one after another in life, Juansheng found that he had woken up from this dream and had almost no way out except leaving Zijun, so he made the decision to leave Zijun. After she left Zijun, the lonely longing and the rumors about Zijun's death came to her again. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had just woken up from his dream. And Zijun will never come back. Juansheng made a mistake that will never be forgiven. After Zijun left, Juansheng has been living in inner regret, spiritual loneliness, and deep pain. There is a detail in it that I don’t know if readers have noticed. One gloomy afternoon when Juansheng was searching for Zijun but failed, Juansheng discovered Zijun’s old dog Asui. What does this detail express the author's thoughts? That is to know how to cherish after losing it, but it is already too late. At first, because life could not bear its food and drink, I threw it away. But now that things have changed, A Sui's reappearance will definitely make Juansheng's heart even more mixed. Overall, the acquaintance between Juansheng and Zijun is destined to end tragically. Perhaps this is the fate of their love, and it is also a true portrayal of losing oneself in a turbulent society. It's like waking up from a dream, but it's too late to regret it! Fourth, did Zijun die in the end? Regarding this issue. Mr. Lu Xun did not give a clear answer in the novel.

It only makes Zijun's life and death more confusing through some specious details. Here we need to carefully appreciate Mr. Lu Xun’s good intentions. By the way, I would like to mention writing skills. If Mr. Lu Xun gave a very clear portrayal of Zijun's death, then the tragedy of this story would seem to be somewhat compromised. Because you have already explained the ending of the story clearly. In fact, many master writers will leave foreshadowing instead of giving you a clear structure. But it gives you a space for imagination. Mr. Lu Xun's use of such techniques in "Sorrow" must be said to be very clever and wonderful! Zijun's life and death actually exist in every reader's mind. If you sympathize and pity Juansheng, then Zijun in the story will not die. But if you despise and hate Juansheng, then Zijun in the story is already dead. This is why Mr. Lu Xun did not give a clear explanation of Zijun's life and death, using Juansheng as the context, and leaving the tragedy and ending to the readers' hearts to judge! Thank you, my answer is complete.
