After Lu Xun’s death in the 1930s, Xu Guangping supported the Family alone, but her death in 1968 at the age of 70 became a turning point in the fate of Lu Xun’s descendants. I don’t know what Lu Xun should think about these changes.
The Zhou family could no longer live in the exclusive compound in Beijing that they had bought with Lu Xun’s fees, and we do not know why. It is strange that they moved to a much smaller place than before.
Lu Xun was neither a landlord, nor a capitalist, nor a Kuomintang official. His Home was purchased by Lu Xun with his own writing fees. The mansion, which was the income of his hard work, could not, no longer, be the personal property of his family?
Born in Beijing in 1953, Zhou Lingfei, the eldest grandson of Mr. Lu Xun, graduated from Beijing Jingshan School in 1969, joined the army at the age of 16, and joined the Chinese Communist Party in the army. He served as a soldier in a department of the Northeast High Artillery, then went to the People’s Liberation Army Pictorial Agency as a photojournalist, and after his transfer to the People’s Art Publishing Agency.
The experience of the melting pot of the army, especially the tumultuous political situation, made Zhou Lingfei gradually awaken.
He began to think independently and never follow the trend, using sharp language and writing to think for this disaster-ridden nation.
Zhou Haiying and his son Zhou Lingfei
Zhou Lingfei’s reflections and criticisms of Wen G are so powerful that they can be read even today.
He said, “Today’s ‘instructions’ are nullified in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow’s ‘principles’ turn into bullshit the day after tomorrow, such flip-flopping changes make the people more or less ‘Nervousness’.
Whatever the matter, people are used to considering the causes and consequences, calculating the pros and cons. It is almost impossible to be cautious in conversations and “to meet each other frankly and with guts.”
In 1980, at the age of 27, Zhou Lingfei, like his grandfather Lu Xun, went to Japan to study abroad. But instead of studying Medicine, he studied electronic media at Fuji Television in Japan.
Looking back on this Time, Zhou writes that while studying in Japan, he found it much easier to get along with his Taiwanese classmates, not having to be so wary and feeling much more relaxed mentally.
He was saddened by this: “The Chinese people were simple and straightforward, and the relationship between people was cordial and kind, but the ten-year Cultural Revolution has changed the character of the people so much that no one dares to trust each other easily. .
He believes that the change of human relations from simple and pure to complex and suspicious has penetrated into the marrow of Chinese people, and is “a scar that penetrates into the soul of the nation”.
It is “a wound deep into the soul of the nation” that cannot be healed for several generations. This is the greatest disaster for China, the deepest pain for the Chinese people, and the most tragic lesson for future generations.
Zhou also believes that if his grandfather Lu Xun had lived today, would he have become a banner of his time? We do not know.
The major event that changed Zhou Lingfei’s fate was when he fell in love with his classmate, a beautiful Taiwanese girl, while he was studying in Japan.
Zhou was one of the first “foreign marriages” in the early 80s.
Is it a bit of a stretch to call it a foreign Marriage? The object of his choice was not a foreigner, but a Taiwanese girl.
This was a very normal thing, but in those days when “class struggle was the platform”, it was a very terrible thing, and he was labeled as “defecting from the enemy”!
At the end of 1970s, the state allowed him to study abroad at his own expense. He and his sister Zhou Ning applied to study in Japan.
After the application report was submitted, the relevant authorities initially rejected it, but later agreed to the “public dispatch and self-financing”, that is, he was dispatched by the public and raised the expenses himself.
From then on, the siblings entered the ranks of the earliest foreign students after the reform and opening up.
After arriving in Japan, Zhou Lingfei initially felt nervous about his studies.
When he lost the opportunity to study during the 10-year catastrophe, a female classmate from Taiwan, Zhang Chunhua, lent him a helping hand and helped him with his lessons. Every time he had a tutorial until late at night or dawn.
The love of his classmates, the love of his ears, the love of his Life.
I swear to God that
I will not marry anyone but you!
The sea is dry, the stone is rotten, this heart will not change.
The young man and woman, who fell in love because of their studies, was a romantic story. Unfortunately, at that time, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, swords and guns, incompatible with each other!
The tragedy of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was staged on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and its main characters were, Zhou Lingfei and Zhang Chunhua.
For the evaluation of Lu Xun, there is a sharp dichotomy between the evaluation of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait: one side holds it as the first-class saint, and the other side regards it as a cultural heresy.
The treasure island girl Zhang Chunhua fell in love with Lu Xun’s eldest grandson, which attracted the attention of Taiwanese officials. Zhang Chunhua’s father, an ordinary businessman, was pressured to recall his daughter from Japan.
Under heavy pressure, the daughter verbally pledged to leave Zhou Lingfei and return to Japan after a couple, difficult to break up.
Life is precious, love is more expensive! No matter what force, no matter what kind of storm, can not break up this pair of lovebirds!
For the sake of the beloved girl, Zhou Lingfei publicly issued a statement.
“This move is purely for love, and there is no other intention; this has nothing to do with my Parents.”
A couple, finally became a couple! Into the hall of sweet marriage.
In the sky, they are willing to be birds of a feather, and on earth, they are willing to be branches of a couple, and the lovers are finally married.
His sister Zhou Ning saw the news from the TV news like a thunderbolt, and called his father Zhou Haiying and mother Ma Xinyun to report.
This was originally a private matter that could not be more private, what did politics have to do with the marriage of a man and a woman? But in those days, it was imposed with a terrible political – political factor.
The parents immediately reported to the head of the Ministry of Radio and Television, to the State Education Commission in charge of study abroad, and also to the old familiar head in charge of Taiwan and China relations, Liao Chengzhi.
Initially, Lord Liao thought the wedding was held in Hong Kong and said a few words of relief. However, Zhou and Zhang’s wedding was held in Taipei, and Zhou and Haiying encountered tremendous political pressure.
Zhou Lingfei’s marriage was given a strong political element, saying that Zhang Chunhua was a “long-trained female agent” who was “experienced” and was used to using “beauty tricks” to seduce She had already seduced many mainland men to “defect to Taiwan”.
Wu Lengxi, the Minister of Radio and Television, spoke to Zhou Haiying and sternly reprimanded him.
“Zhou Lingfei’s matter, do you know that this is an act of treason? The political influence is extremely bad, and you are responsible for not teaching your son well!”
And told him to immediately declare that he had disowned Zhou Linfei!
He was also told to announce three disciplines.
One, he would not meet any journalists, especially foreign journalists, in the recent period. If you can’t avoid it, you can answer “no comment”.
Secondly, he said that he had already drawn a clear line with his son and severed the father-son relationship.
Third, do not go abroad for the time being.
Originally Zhou Haiying busy with official duties, need to read a lot of documents, need to attend many meetings, after that the documents are no longer handed to him to deal with.
The position of deputy director of the career office is also known as no real. He asked Vice Minister Xu Chonghua for work, but Xu said he could not help, saying.
“Just read a book and take a break.”
He was a member of the Bureau of the National People’s Congress (NPC), but his qualifications were also cancelled after the accident, and he only retained his status as a NPC deputy.
Ma Xinyun was a middle school foreign language teacher. At that time, the new semester had just started when the school suddenly informed her that students did not welcome your lectures and asked her to work in the library.
Ma Xinyun did not accept it and offered to go to the Foreign Language Institute for further training. The school made a compromise and she did not go to the podium for four years, from 1983 to 1986.
After Zhou Lingfei got married in Taiwan, she asked a businessman friend to bring her wedding photo to Beijing. The Taiwanese businessman left the photos at the hotel lobby desk and called Zhou Haiying and his wife to pick them up.
Zhou Haiying thought of “organizational discipline” and hurriedly asked Vice Minister Xu, who took a moment to say, “Let’s look into it. The reply: “The photos are up to you to decide whether to go and get them.”
Ma Xinyun, nostalgic for his son, said, “I’m not a member of the Party, what am I afraid of? I’ll go and get it!” When the photos arrived, the couple looked at them one by one.
Their son, the beautiful bride, the grand wedding, the high guests, the happy marriage, the sweet picture, all unfolded in front of them!
Not being able to attend their son’s wedding, not being able to enjoy this happy moment in life, and their son and daughter-in-law not being blessed by their in-laws.
Such a mixture of sadness and joy, can not let the parents tears?
Afterwards, Zhou Haiying still reported the matter of taking the photos. Vice Minister Xu said, “Some people think that this is a test for you.”
Zhou Haiying’s heart jumped. Who knows what else will happen?
Vice Minister Hao, who was in charge of personnel, also found Zhou Haiying and talked to him, asking him to write a letter to recall Zhou Ning, who was studying in Japan, saying, “In case your daughter also runs away, won’t the problem be more serious?”
He also said that his daughter was currently the “target” of a Taiwanese man!
But the mother, Ma Xinyun, was resolute. She said: I am a non-party member, your organization’s decision is not binding on me, I am her mother, I do not agree to her return!
In fact, the marriage of Zhou Linfei and Zhang Chunhua was completely out of love, without any political background, the so-called “secret agent” clouds, all nonsense.
After arriving in Taiwan, Zhou Linfei refused all kinds of arrangements and invitations from the local media, stayed away from politics and engaged in business, and joined his father-in-law’s department store as an assistant manager. Later, his father-in-law’s company went bankrupt and collapsed. The couple was once in great distress.
Later, after years of struggle, Zhou Lingfei wrote a monograph on stage art and published it in Taiwan, and entered the entertainment industry in Taipei as a program producer.
Zhang Chunhua was a good wife and mother to her husband and daughter, and treated her in-laws, who were far away from the mainland, with respect.
After many years, officials finally acknowledged that it was just a cross-strait marriage. First, Zhou Lingfei was allowed to return to the mainland to visit his family. Liao Chengzhi informed Zhou Haiying, “Your son is not a traitor.”
When Zhou Lingfei returned, Xinhua News Agency also sent out a message announcing that the defections fiasco had dissipated.
In 1995, Zhou Haiying’s visit to Taiwan was approved, and the in-laws, father-in-law and daughter-in-law, grandfather and grandson were able to reunite. Zhou Linfei Zhang Chunhua settled in Shanghai with a pair of daughters and paid respects at Lu Xun’s tomb.
Looking back at the uproar over Zhou and Zhang’s marriage that year, the reaction was clearly excessive. The separation of a family’s flesh and blood, undeserved disaster!
Zhou Lingfei told reporters.
“Taiwan and mainland China are both China, a Chinese man and a Chinese woman, have the freedom to fall in love and get married, and the freedom to choose their place of residence.”
Although this past has passed and the scars left have healed, but chew these past events, which are sweet and sour, leaving a long taste,……
Can the tragedy of “Romeo and Juliet” not be repeated?
