The old days have slowed down.
Cars, horses, and mail are slow.
There is only enough to love one person in a lifetime.
The old lock is beautiful, too.
The keys are beautifully presented.
If you lock it, people will understand.
Mu Xin's "Once Upon a Time" is dense and long, and it shows the beauty of "slow" in the past, in that slow and leisurely era, there was no network, no mobile phone, and the most commonly used *** was letters.
Slow and ancient letters, the stories that have been yellowed have been made.
Those good stories in the world that have been achieved by letters come plainly, and they are also long-lasting.
He and her, starting with a letter, talked about current affairs, life, and work, and their souls became deeper and deeper, and it was difficult to separate.
They traveled thousands of miles and slowly became little white elephants and little hedgehogs in each other's ......eyes
He said, "I can love!".”
"I'm not lonely," she said. ”
He is Lu Xun, and she is Xu Guangping.
4 years of love, 4 cities, 135 letters, into this "Book of Two Places".
Those words that are mutual confidants and devoted companions bring us a little warmth on a cold winter night.
Read it all"Book of Two Places"., we understand why Lu Xun fell in love with Xu Guangping deeply.
The marriage between Lu Xun and Zhu An is full of helplessness and misfortune from beginning to end.
When Lu Xun was still studying in Japan, he suddenly received a letter from home one day, and his mother was sick and returned quickly.
The filial Lu Xun did not dare to delay returning to China immediately, but he was greeted by a **. His mother arranged for him to have a wife he had never metJuan.
Zhu An is dignified and virtuous, but she is wrapped in a three-inch golden lotus and does not know a few big characters, standing with Lu Xun, a new young man who studied in Japan and has progressive ideas, it seems so incompatible.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, Lu Xun hid in the next room to read, leaving Zhu An with endless tears and bone-eating sadness.
Four days after the marriage, Lu Xun left home.
Lu Xun has always opposed old-style arranged marriages, but in the face of this mother's "gift", he went against his heart, but he was powerless to resist after all.
For the sake of Zhu An's future, Lu Xun has always taken Zhu An with him. And their marriage was already in name only on the wedding night.
When Lu Xun was teaching in Beiping, a student Xu Guangping admired him.
Xu Guangping has a deep family background and is quite courageous, when she was young, she had an arranged marriage in which her parents were the masters, she didn't do it endlessly, she came directly to the man's house and decisively refused, and personally dissolved this family business.
At that time, Xu Guangping was a radical young man with a progressive mindset and an independent woman of the new era, who was one of the activists in the wave of female teachers in Beijing against the principal Yang Yinyu.
Out of admiration for the teacher and confusion about current affairs and life, on March 11, 1925, Xu Guangping had the courage to write a letter to Mr. Lu Xun.
There are doubts, respect, and youthful playfulness in the letter.
For teachers, it is their duty to answer questions and solve doubts, and Lu Xun replied. Since then, the two have been in and out of each other, and their minds and souls collide with each other.
In the letter, they talked about the current situation, life, politics, and life, and the two souls stretched between the lines like folded paper in water.
I think that pain is always associated with life, but there is also a time to leave, that is, when you are asleep. When I wake up, I have to avoid some pain, the old Chinese way is 'pride' and 'cynicism', and I think I have this problem myself, which is not very good. ”
This time, each person received more than 20 yuan, I thought the result was not bad, but the year before last, the Esperanto school performed a play to raise funds, but lost dozens of yuan. But this money is naturally not enough to travel, so I have to travel to Tianjin. ”
Lu Xun sometimes secretly marveled that this girl in her twenties had such a high ideological consciousness and such a deep understanding of current affairs.
Lu Xun, who has always felt that he is independent in the wasteland, gradually feels not lonely.
A frozen place in his heart is slowly dissolving, and the anguish in his heart is gradually dissipating in the biography of Hongyan. The pulse is affectionate, and it flows quietly.
Life is rare to be a confidant, the joy at first sight, never tired of being there for a long time, there are endless nonsense between each other, I can't wait to tell each other about my past and present lives, how lucky should I be to meet such a good companion in life?
Due to the development of their respective careers, at one time, Lu Xun lived in Xiamen and Xu Guangping lived in Guangzhou.
The world is far away, the thoughts are getting more and more tangible, the paper is short and long, and the long thoughts are all shown in the correspondence.
At that time, in Xiamen University, Mr. Lu Xun was not ambitious, his life was unsatisfactory, and his work was not smooth, especially the conflict with Mr. Gu Jiegang, which made him feel quite uneasy.
Fortunately, there is a "Brother Guangping" who can talk about his heart.
Sometimes a title can often reveal the sky, and that intimacy can't be hidden.
In the letters, they gave each other nicknames, "Bad Horse", "Little White Elephant", "Little Hedgehog", and sprinkled sugar wildly.
The two become innocent children, roaming freely in the world of pink bubbles exclusive to two people:
Since the past week, I have become more Xi to the local area, the amount of food is still the same, and I can sleep more these days, always sleeping nine to ten hours a night;But I'm still a little lazy, I haven't had a haircut, and I only shaved my beard with a safety razor the night before. ”
My way to the postal agency was about eighty steps, and then eighty more steps to the toilet, so I had to walk three or four times a day, because I had to go to the mini-solution, and it was in the middle of it, and it was easy to get a glimpse. As soon as it got dark, I didn't go there, so I went downstairs on the grass. ”
This is the most intoxicating time in the love period.
Any trivial things, even embarrassing things, secret things, even if they have no meaning and value, I want to share them with you as soon as possible, because this is the happiest way for us to understand each other.
Compared with Xu Zhimo's sweet and sweet "Love Eyebrows", Mr. Lu Xun's love letters seem chatty and unpretentious.
But isn't that what love is all about?
When we are in love, we are always impatient to confide in each other everything about our past, present and future, and we always can't wait to know everything that the other person has.
The world is like a book, I only love you.
Because, only by relying on this feeling of dependence and entanglement, can we truly experience the warmth of interdependence, feel the pleasure of love indulging and burning, and experience the sincerity that we understand each other's future and want to be responsible for each other's future.
When you really love each other, you naively only wish that the years will be quiet and the present world will be stable, and you sincerely pray that such happiness can last for thousands of miles.
Even if the fragments of the world have floated all over our lives, we can imagine them as cherry blossoms with a speed of 5 centimeters per second.
On the evening of October 20, 1925, Lu Xun sat on the rattan chair, Xu Guangping held Lu Xun's hand, Lu Xun reciprocated with a gentle back, and he couldn't help but say to Xu Guangping: "You have defeated!".”
Lu Xun wrote a ** "Death of Injury" with the theme of marriage and love in one go.
Calm as he is, he naturally understands what it means to be in love, and what marriage means, which is another heavy courage, responsibility and responsibility.
At the beginning of 1927, Lu Xun finally got rid of his hesitation, withstood the pressure, and firmly expressed his determination to combine with Xu Guangping.
On October 30, 1927, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping began their cohabitation in Shanghai.
In the past ten years in Shanghai, the two have been working together hand in hand. During this period, Lu Xun's writing achievements far exceeded those of the previous twenty years.
He vigorously supported literary youth, led left-wing culture, and reached the pinnacle of his creative career in writing.
In the middle, the break is inseparable from Xu Guangping's strong support.
Xu Guangping, who was independent and capable, resolutely gave up his job, sacrificed his career development, took care of Lu Xun's diet and daily life at home, and copied manuscripts and proofread translations for him.
The birth of the sea baby has brought infinite vitality to the family. The old man held the pearl in his hand, and Lu Xun felt extremely happy.
In the ** that survived at that stage, Lu Xun's eyes were so soft and happy.
There are also differences, for a while, one of the two was in Beiping, and the other stayed in Shanghai.
The two still poured out their hearts in their letters, and most of the things they talked about were trivial matters in life, asking each other if they had eaten on time, whether the clothes they wore were enough to keep them warm, and so on.
That longing is still warm and deep:
I remember your words, so even though I am alone, I am not lonely. But for the past two days, I have been waking up at dawn, and this is the time when you are going to sleep, so I still wake up as usual, as if you are preparing to sleep, and you know that you are leaving, this strange mood, teach me how to describe it?”
When I went to deliver the letter, I remembered that there was a man who ran to the letter box outside the downstairs room at night, and I believed that there was no more demented cover in the world than this gentleman, and now it was far away from the post office, and it was inconvenient to travel at night, and this wind must not be long, so it was advisable to avoid !!it
The simple words piled up with pen and ink are simple and unpretentious, but they fully show the tender side of Lu Xun and the long love between him and Xu Guangping. Even though the two places were separated, their relationship never cooled down.
In a good marriage, there is always endless nonsense.
Yang Jiang once wrote about the scene of her and Qian Zhongshu "talking nonsense" in "Invisibility Cloak":
Give you a fairy magic weapon, what do you want?”
We are all going to wear an invisibility cloak and put on one for each of us, and we will go out together. We just want to get rid of the shackles and experience everywhere, and we don't want to do anything wrong. But when he was having fun, he couldn't help but be presumptuous and naughty, so he alarmed people, couldn't hide himself, and had to run away quickly. ”
Ah, there has to be a shrinking method. ”
And the talisman!”
It's hard to laugh.
It's not uncommon to have endless nonsense when you're in love, but it's hard to talk for a lifetime.
After many years of marriage, many couples seem to have pressed the silence button at home, becoming more and more silent, more and more lonely, and more and more disgusted with each other.
But no matter how many years they have been married, Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang are still naïve children, and they can talk nonsense anytime and anywhere.
Lu Xun and Xu Guangping are the same.
Marriage is not just two people who live together, but also two souls who understand and tolerate each other.
Cherish the lover who is willing to talk nonsense to you, in these seemingly nonsense words, what is hidden is the love and true love that is difficult to find in the world.
When editing the "Book of Two Places", Lu Xun once said:
This is roughly the case when we commemorate this book for ourselves, to thank our kind friends, and to leave it to our children for the future to know the truth about what we have experienced.After reading this book, we understand why Lu Xun fell in love with Xu Guangping.
Their love is not vigorous, and there is no point for future generations to watch, but the unforgettable heart is plain and real.
They are each other's only and each other's eternity.
The most comfortable relationship between people is like them, when they are together, there is endless nonsense.
In fact, the same is true of family, love, and friendship.
When we are with each other, we don't have to care about the sense of proportion and boundaries of adults, we don't have to think hard about words, and we don't have to work hard to find topics, we just want to be ourselves, and be the most honest and innocent selves.
Time is easy to grow old, confidants are rare, may we all have the person who can talk nonsense without scruples, know how to love, and have love.
