Some people say that Lu Xun didn’t write anything in his previous diary, and any statement is just speculation.

But this is wrong. Lu Xun once wrote an article about taking a picture of his son. He wrote clearly that Xinzi was sarcastic about his childless eldest brother and wanted him to die in neglect. This also shows that there is no personal relationship between the two. If there is any theory, it is Nobuko who administered the medicine.

Zhou Zuoren’s Baodugu correspondence shortly after breaking off the relationship stated that the father did not care about his daughter’s loss of virginity, and the husband forgave his wife for her infidelity. My guess is that it seems to be confirmed that he suspected that his wife and eldest brother had something to do with each other (because they were eating in separate kitchens!), and that his wife was making false accusations, and he got sick because of this. Zhou Zuoren's anger drove his eldest brother away (after liberation, he downplayed it, either saying that he just didn't want his eldest brother to enter the backyard; or that he thought his eldest brother would come back after a day or two; he even said once that he wanted to start a new life. I had to sacrifice my relationship with my brother) - and then I regretted it and wrote an open letter calling for my eldest brother to return. In the name of forgiveness, these words actually confirmed the eldest brother's sin. The eldest brother is also a scholar. Of course, he does not accept this trick. He is just sick and angry.

From some of Zhou Zuoren’s vague articles, I feel that my younger brother hates his elder brother’s comments about other people’s economic problems. What's more, his mother also left him. You know what it means in China. This is something that people don't talk about nowadays. The psychological trauma it caused to Zhou Zuoren is unknown. Anyway, he will rarely pay for the support of his mother in the future. In front of people , and always talked about Lu Xun’s mother, Mrs. Lu, etc.

Is this why he was so heartless a year later that he not only scolded and beat his brother, but also wrote a bone-breaking article to scold him? (Imagine what the society will say this year? It is probably my younger brother who is more embarrassed.) And that article, in addition to emphasizing Lu Xun’s sacrifice, was originally something he didn’t want. He just hated the tenacity of Lu Xun’s character. It's more like fear than scolding. I'm afraid that my eldest brother will lose his temper and won't let him go.

Such changes and this way of communication after the brothers broke up will only gradually make things worse until Lu Xun's death. Zhou Zuoren may not hope for things to change (but he is reluctant to take action), and the early death of his eldest brother will leave him with some words that he will never be able to say, which may increase his discomfort. At the same time, the wonderful human psychology will also Add to his resentment. Is this the reason why after Lu Xun's death, he still said that Lu Xun was suspicious and vengeful, and was insulting him? What we see is him viciously writing about the old man's nonsense, while the other one seems to be rushing to save him before he falls into the water.

I guess he had some regrets before he died. The eldest brother did not hesitate to offend his old friend Lin Yutang again and again. Those things he wrote to criticize the essays were secretly given to Zhou Zuoren. Some people say that Lu Xun's talk about loving only when you can hate, and living only when you can kill is out of extreme health issues. He probably didn't see Zhou Zuoren's abandonment of literature and martial arts. In 1935, Lu Xun was trying to wake up Zhou Zuoren, and asked his younger brother to send a message to him on his behalf. The anti-Japanese signature should not be too far back. Zhou Zuoren, who was studying behind closed doors, probably only read these essays in his last years. There is a vague sense of awakening in his letters to Hong Kong. . .
