In 1941, a Japanese gendarmes shouted at this bruised woman:"Yours! Take your clothes off! ”
This woman is none other than Lu Xun's widow Xu Guangping.
Unexpectedly, only 5 years after Mr. Lu Xun's death, this literary giant who has been shouting for the people all his life, would never have thought that his wife would be treated like this by the Japanese after his death.
I saw Xu Guangping trembling his fingers and taking off the clothes on his body one by one, leaving only a shirt that could cover his body.
Even after receiving such humiliation, Xu Guangping still refused to say a word.
So, why was the wife of this literary giant arrested by the Japanese military police? And what did the Japanese do to her?
Next, I will lead you to reveal this unknown secret.
Back at 5:25 a.m. on October 19, 1936, a superstar fell in the history of Chinese literature, and Lu Xun's heart stopped beating.
For Xu Guangping, Lu Xun is not only a great literary figure in the eyes of the world, but also a rising star who illuminates his front, but Xu Guangping must be strong, because they should have conceived a childZhou Haiying
Xu Guangping, in 1898, Xu Guangping was born in a prominent family in Guangzhou, and his ancestors have been officials for generations.
However, because Xu Guangping's father is a concubine, Xu Guangping's status in the family is not very high, but compared with her peers, she is considered wealthy.
Xu Guangping, who grew up in such a family atmosphere since he was a child, has understood a truth since he was a child, that is, only competition, only getting ahead will get rid of the embarrassing situation at home.
So she has been diligent and studious since she was a child, and she was admitted to Beijing Women's Higher Normal College through hard work.
It was here that she met the man who changed her life - Lu Xun.
In the first class in the classroom, Xu Guangping was attracted by the sharp conversation of this man who was 17 years older than her.
Later, by chance, Xu Guangping learned that the teacher who taught her before was the famous Mr. Lu Xun.
This made Xu Guangping surprised and delighted, it turned out that his idol was in front of him, three podiums, a gray robe, and a serious face, which all attracted Xu Guangping's attention.
So soon, Xu Guangping made a move, and she wrote a letter to Lu Xun.
Needless to say, in the past, if this is placed in the present, female students writing letters to their teachers will also be subject to the tongue of many people, which shows Xu Guangping's boldness and persistence in the pursuit of love.
Lu Xun who received the letter felt incredible, it was not that no one had written to him before, but the letter from a female classmate was the first time for Lu Xun.
With curiosity, Lu Xun opened the envelope, and Xu Guangping's words were strong and soft, which immediately attracted Lu Xun's attention.
At the beginning of the letter, Xu Guangping affectionately called him Mr., and later Lu Xun also replied: call her Brother Guangping.
Unconsciously, the two of them have been communicating messages for half a year, and Xu Guangping has gone from "Mr. " at the beginning to "my dear teacher" and "interrogator", which shows that the relationship between the two is gradually heating up.
And Lu Xun also humorously called Xu Guangping "little ghost" and "good aunt" in the letter. It can be seen that Lu Xun's heart has also undergone great changes.
So in this way, Xu Guangping and his teacher Lu Xun lived together.
Just when Xu Guangping felt that the matter with the teacher was in full swing, Lu Xun gave Xu Guangping a blow.
Lu Xun confessed one thing to Xu Guangping, he already had a nominal wife named Zhu An in his hometown in Shaoxing.
After Xu Guangping learned of this, she was heartbroken, in the Western education she received since she was a child, the world should be monogamous, which is also what she believes in most women in the new era, but the reality made a big joke on her.
Every time he recalls the time when he wrote a letter to his teacher, Xu Guangping is in pain, and his heart is full of deep guilt, especially the woman named Zhu An.
But Lu Xun also told herself that they were just in name only, which added a lot of confidence to her, so she asked Lu Xun about Zhu An's deeds and wanted to know more about her.
In 1906, Lu Xun, who was far away in Japan, was left without a master by a letter from his mother who was "in urgent need of his mother's illness", and hurriedly stepped on the ship back to China.
Unexpectedly, on the day I returned home, it was ten miles of red makeup, full of friends, and the alleys of every house were crowded with people, who congratulated Lu Xun on their happy marriage.
In this regard, Lu Xun was 100,000 dissatisfied, but many guests were present, and Lu Xun was not easy to attack, so he had to make a show and get married to his wife Zhu An, who had not met.
After marriage, Lu Xun can be said to dislike Zhu An in every way, for this feudal woman who never knows what new culture and democracy is, and Zhu An, who has wrapped her little feet, Lu Xun naturally doesn't like it.
It's just that he didn't have a letter of resignation taking care of his family's face.
Lu Xun said to Xu Guangping: "Not long after I got married, I went out in the year of going abroad, and I will give her a sum of money over the years, for me, the person who married her is not me, but my mother." ”
After Xu Guangping listened, after thinking twice, she thought that she could not harm the next generation because of the feudal thinking of the older generation, and she should boldly seek love about herself.
She only knew that this man named Lu Xun was a person worthy of entrusting his life, so the two soon lived together.
At first, after Lu Xun's mother found out, she was also very uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.
Soon after, Xu Guangping gave birth to a big fat boy for Lu Xun, and Lu Xun was very happy and named Haiying.
Lu Xun, who had a child, felt that his child had been born, and it was time to give the child's mother an official name, so he announced his true relationship with Xu Guangping to the outside world in a high-profile manner.
The birth of the child also brought Xu Guangping and Lu Xun's mother closer and closer, and since then, the family has lived happily in Shanghai.
And Zhu An, who is far away in his hometown of Shaoxing, is looking forward to his return day and night, and after learning that Lu Xun has married and had children outside, he no longer has any hope for Lu Xun to return to the family.
In 1936, Lu Xun becauseTuberculosis is in an advanced stage, and because during the recuperation period, because he could not rest assured of his literary creations and did not get good maintenance, coupled with years of hard work, at 5:25 a.m. on October 19, he left us forever, and came to the end of his life at the age of 56.
As soon as the news of Lu Xun's death came out, it quickly caused huge repercussions at home and abroad.
Immediately, the people who came to send messages of condolence and letters of condolence flew like snowflakes, and there was an endless stream.
Thousands of people from all over the country came to the funeral home to pay respects to Mr. Lu Xun's remains.
10 people in the literary world carried the coffin, and Song Qingling, the mother of the country, supported the coffin.
The scene of the farewell ceremony was very grand, with Lu Xun's close comrades-in-arms Feng Xuefeng, Cai Yuanpei and other famous patriots, public leaders and people from all walks of life initiating a grand funeral and memorial ceremony.
From 1906 to 1936, Xu Guangping accompanied Lu Xun through 30 springs, summers, autumns and winters, and the two of them entered each other's lives.
Shortly after Lu Xun's death, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and the All-People War of Resistance began.
Shanghai spread to Shanghai, and soon the Battle of Songlu broke out, and friends were afraid of endangering their lives, so they came to dissuade Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping from leaving Shanghai, but Xu Guangping refused.
She said to her friend
I really don't want my husband's works to be destroyed by the Japanese army and waste all his hard work, so I want to stay here to protect these books.
And Haiying (Lu Xun's son) still has asthma, which is not suitable for long-distance travel, so I won't go with you. ”
Xu Guangping, who remained in Shanghai, not only collected Lu Xun's books, but also wrote some anti-Japanese articles to make ends meet.
One day in 1941, Xu Guangping was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and she immediately hid with her son in her arms.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, several members of the Japanese gendarmerie broke into the door, and Xu Guangping and his son, who had nowhere to escape, were soon exposed to the guns of the Japanese army.
When Xu Guangping watched them scatter the Lu Xun anthology that he had worked so hard to sort out for so many years, Xu Guangping couldn't bear it anymore, so he tried his best to stop the Japanese military police.
As a result, the Japanese army violently pushed her aside and continued to search, and it didn't take long for the Japanese army to leave.
Xu Guangping knew that the Japanese army would come to the door again, so he immediately sent his son to a friend's house and asked them to help take care of him.
When her friend learned of this, he advised her to leave Shanghai quickly, but Xu Guangping refused again.
Because she knew that the manuscript left by her husband was a treasure of Chinese history, 10,000 times more important than her own life, and she risked her life to fight the Japanese to the end.
Xu Guangping didn't know if this was the last time she saw her son, but she had to go back.
As expected, the Japanese army came to Zhu Guangping's house again the next morning and threatened to ask to go with them.
Seeing that the Japanese army's saber was on top of his head, Xu Guangping could only follow them, and then there was a long imprisonment.
In the old side, which was damp and smelled of corpses, the workers stayed for 76 days.
For more than two months, Xu Guangping was tortured by the Japanese army every day, and they asked:
"Call out the list of the Communist Party and spare you from dying. ”
Whenever this time, Zhu Guangping always kept his mouth shut and expressed his resistance with silence, and what greeted her was the whipping and torture of the Japanese army.
When they were sent back to the cell again, the inmates saw Xu Guangping covered in blood, and everyone was very distressed and held them in pain.
Later, Song Qingling learned that Lu Xun's widow was locked in a prison cell, and contacted celebrities from all walks of life in society to rescue her.
After being released from prison, he recuperated for a while, and soon devoted himself to the road of saving the country and the people, taking out all the savings that Lu Xun and himself had accumulated over the years to raise clothes and medicines for the soldiers on the front line.
Although the love story of Mr. Lu Xun and Xu Guangping is singable and crying, and Lu Xun's literary works have been passed down to this day precisely because of Xu Guangping, and Lu Xun's spirit has influenced generations of young and middle-aged people.
However, he is such a person who is very affectionate and righteous to everyone in China, but he is ruthless to his old mother Zhu An, who takes care of himself wholeheartedly at home, his wife not only died lonely, but she didn't even have a tombstone after her death, which can be described as extremely cold.
